This document discusses India's approach and strategy to meet new ambient air quality standards from 2009. It provides background on current air quality concerns, monitoring efforts, and sources of pollution. Key points include:
- India has 53 non-attainment cities where vehicular emissions and industry are the dominant pollution sources.
- 43 areas are critically polluted primarily by power plants, refineries, and other heavy industries.
- Rural indoor air is polluted by biomass fuel use, while outdoor pollution comes from dust and biomass burning.
- Monitoring is conducted by the Central Pollution Control Board and state agencies, but more monitoring sites are needed.
- Epidemiological studies show associations between air pollution and increased
Children are known to be more vulnerable to the adverse health effects of air pollution due to their higher minute ventilation, immature immune system, involvement in vigorous activities, the longer periods of time they spend outdoors and the continuing development of their lungs during the early post neonatal period. A large number of epidemiological studies have reported an association between exposure to criteria air pollutants and several morbidity and mortality outcomes in children. Criteria air pollutants consist of six air pollutants that are regulated on the basis of their potential to cause adverse health and/or environmental effects: ozone (O3), particulate matter (PM), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), sulphur dioxide (SO2), carbon monoxide and lead. In the present commentary, we intend to highlight the adverse health outcomes associated with exposure to criteria air pollutants in children.

Description: Nurse-Midwife Katie Huffling will be speaking about the susceptibility of women and fetuses during pregnancy in connection to unconventional natural gas drilling.
About the Speaker: Katie Huffling is a Certified Nurse-Midwife and is the Director of Programs for the Alliance of Nurses for Healthy Environments where she directors projects related to environmental health nursing practice, research, education, and policy and advocacy. She is also part of a national and international network of nurses that work to integrate environmental health into nursing education and provide guidance and resources to pregnant women, parents, and others about health risks to children and their families.
The health implications associated with short- and long-term exposure to particulate matter measuring less than 2.5 microns (PM 2.5) continues to raise concern. Certain health effects, such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), have long been associated with PM 2.5 exposure. Research into the association between respiratory conditions and PM 2.5 have been the basis for air quality regulations; however, recent literature suggests that PM 2.5 exposure may lead to far more adverse health effects such as cardiovascular disease, hypertension, and low birth weight. Additionally, it now appears that PM 2.5 may follow a non-threshold linear dose-response model, meaning there may be no safe level of PM 2.5. If this is the case, even stricter regulations will follow, putting more pressure on industry to lower the output of PM 2.5. It will also pave the way for unlimited litigation for personal harm and liability. As research involving PM 2.5 exposure and human health continues, businesses must be prepared for the coming onslaught of law suits and ever-increasing demands to remain in compliance with stricter regulations.
This is basically a protocol upon the basis of P.G Public Health presentation on behalf of the Health effects due to environmental pollution on population.

ABSTRACT- The bell metal works is the oldest cottage industries mainly clustered around the Bankura, Purulia and Medinipur (W) districts in West Bengal, India. The smelting, hammering, scraping and paddle rolling are the most predominant activities in their Bell Metal work process. During work, different types of metal fumes are sublimated to their working environment. The present study was to investigate the prevalence of pulmonary dysfunctions of these workers. 363 workers were randomly selected of them 263 were exposed and 100 were control workers. The prevalence of pulmonary symptoms was determined by a standardized questionnaire. Pulmonary indices viz. FVC%, FEV1%, FEF25%-75%, FEV1/FVC%, MVV-Index and PEFR were measured by a digital spirometer and smoking frequency was determined by Nitti Index. Study results revealed that there were significant differences in height (p<0.05),><0.001)><0.05><0.05),><0.001),><0.01)><0.001) were significantly higher in exposures than that of the control. It was concluded that the exposures had reduced pulmonary capacity, which might be due to expose of different gases, fumes and other pulmonary irritants. The occurrences of pulmonary diseases were higher in bell metal workers than that of non-exposed workers. Smoking and work experience may be additive adverse effect on it.
Key-words- Bell Metal Worker, Pulmonary diseases, pulmonary capacity, Smoking

"Understanding the Carbon Cycle: Processes, Human Impacts, and Strategies for...MMariSelvam4
The carbon cycle is a critical component of Earth's environmental system, governing the movement and transformation of carbon through various reservoirs, including the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms. This complex cycle involves several key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and carbon sequestration, each contributing to the regulation of carbon levels on the planet.
Human activities, particularly fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, have significantly altered the natural carbon cycle, leading to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and driving climate change. Understanding the intricacies of the carbon cycle is essential for assessing the impacts of these changes and developing effective mitigation strategies.
By studying the carbon cycle, scientists can identify carbon sources and sinks, measure carbon fluxes, and predict future trends. This knowledge is crucial for crafting policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, enhancing carbon storage, and promoting sustainable practices. The carbon cycle's interplay with climate systems, ecosystems, and human activities underscores its importance in maintaining a stable and healthy planet.
In-depth exploration of the carbon cycle reveals the delicate balance required to sustain life and the urgent need to address anthropogenic influences. Through research, education, and policy, we can work towards restoring equilibrium in the carbon cycle and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.

UNDERSTANDING WHAT GREEN WASHING IS!.pdfJulietMogola
Many companies today use green washing to lure the public into thinking they are conserving the environment but in real sense they are doing more harm. There have been such several cases from very big companies here in Kenya and also globally. This ranges from various sectors from manufacturing and goes to consumer products. Educating people on greenwashing will enable people to make better choices based on their analysis and not on what they see on marketing sites.
Climate Change All over the World .pptxsairaanwer024
Climate change refers to significant and lasting changes in the average weather patterns over periods ranging from decades to millions of years. It encompasses both global warming driven by human emissions of greenhouse gases and the resulting large-scale shifts in weather patterns. While climate change is a natural phenomenon, human activities, particularly since the Industrial Revolution, have accelerated its pace and intensity

with fever were more prevalent in Delhi than in controls,
and the girls suffered more than the boys.
Children in Delhi had more lower respiratory symptoms
(LRS) such as frequent dry cough, sputum-producing
cough, wheezing breath, breathlessness on exertion, chest
pain or tightness and disturbed sleep due to breathing
problems.
Respiratory and associated symptoms were most
prevalent in children from low socio-economic status, and
least in children from families with high socio-economic
background.
The symptoms were more prevalent in children during
winter when PM10 level in air is highest in a year, and lowest
during monsoon when particulate air pollution level is
lowest, suggesting a positive association with particulate
air pollution.

• Remarks:
– Monitoring has to be done for all parameters for 104 days,
accordingly infra-structure & staff, method standardization, and
training for field staff would be necessary. Field parameters:
Sulphur Dioxide, Nitrogen Dioxide, PM10, Ozone, Ammonia.
Field staff are required to be trained specially handling of
handling EPM2000 filters and PM2.5 Teflon filters to be used for
PM10 and PM2.5 samples as half portion of the all (EPM2000)
sampled filters has to analyzed for metals and remaining half for
B(a)P
– Automatic analyzer for monitoring of CO and Benzene at all
stations to get 104 data need to be installed.
– Laboratory need to be equipped with conditioning room for
monitoring and measurement of PM2.5,
– Existing metal digestion methodology (acid digestion of whole 8”
x 10” filter at 95ºC for 2 hours) may not be suitable as all the
three metals [ Pb, Ni and As] are to be extracted from half
portion of filter and ‘As’ may be lost if not digested at 65-70ºC. It
is also needs to be ensured that GT-AAS or ICP analyses is
done for all these metals because of expected low
concentration.
28. • ** 24 hourly or 08 hourly or 01 hourly monitored values,
as applicable, shall be complied with 98% of the time in

not on two consecutive days of monitoring.
• Remarks
• Only possible, if the monitoring is done using automatic
analyzers.
• Note – Whenever and wherever monitoring results on
two consecutive days of monitoring exceed the limits
specified above for the respective category, it shall be
considered adequate reason to institute regular or
