The document proposes a new concept called Catalytic Fuel Converters (CFCs) to address the problems of air pollution from vehicle emissions. CFCs would convert vehicle emissions like hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, and nitrogen oxides into usable fuels like methane and methanol using catalysts. This would significantly reduce emissions to just 0.02% while producing a valuable fuel output. CFCs would be cheaper and require less maintenance than traditional catalytic converters. By converting harmful emissions into fuel, CFCs could solve the emission problem and make the world more sustainable.

Problems caused by ambient air pollution on human and the environment can be averted by steadily and strictly monitoring of the concentrations of outdoor pollutants. Human activities have triggered changes in the earths atmosphere. In this research, 7(Seven) selected Eleme communities, 4(four) zones in each community and 28(Twenty eight) sampling points in all locations were assessed for the concentrations of CO, SO2 , NO2 , NO, CO2 , SPM, O2 , noise level and as well Meteorological parameters using methods recommended by ASTM for air pollutants measurement and meteorological parameters. Findings of this research showed that, measured level of CO (1.00 - 43.00 ppm) at Akpajo, Aleto and Onne zone "B" exceeded the stipulated limit by NAAQS. Measured level of SO2 (0.00 - 1.30 ppm) at zone "B" and "D" in all locations were above permissible limit except in Alode and Ogale in which the concentrations of SO2 were 0.00 ppm through out the zones. NO2 (0.00 - 3.10 ppm) and NO (0.00 - 1.05 ppm) concentrations in zone "B" in all the
sampling locations exceeded the permissible limit by NAAQS except in Alode and Ogale. Aleto and Ogale zone "D" were also above limits. SPM(0.01 - 4.83 ppm) Levels in all locations and zones exceeded the limit given by W.H.O except in Ogale residential area. Noise Level (40.20 - 102 dBA) at Alesa, Aleto, Akpajo and Ebubu zone "B" were as well above
limits. In order to address the risk connected with the identified pollutants in the study area, more endeavour should be conveyed to the use of renewable energy and as well, cleaner air initiatives should be embarked upon.

Introduction
Activities and processes which include urbanization, population explosion industrialization and as well as intensive agricultural activities and bush burning have caused colossal damage to our environment [1,2,3]. Increase in population of human beings is closely associated with increase in industrialization and urbanization thereby resulting to the
destruction of natural habitat and pollution of the biosphere more and more. Air pollution may be defined as any atmospheric condition in which certain substances are present in such concentrations that they can produce undesirable effects on Man and his environment [2]. These substances include gases which are Sulphur Oxides, Nitrogen Oxides, Carbon Monoxide, Hydrocarbons and as well, particulate matter which are Smoke, Dust, Fumes, Aerosols among others. Moreover, radioactive materials and many others are also considered as air pollutants. Most of these substances are naturally present in low concentrations in the atmosphere and are usually considered to be harmless[3]. considering the sources of these pollutants, quite a number of them enters the atmosphere as a result of anthropogenic activities( human activities). On the basis of physical states, there are two major groups of air pollutants.
1. The document discusses World Environment Day which is celebrated annually on June 5th to raise awareness about protecting nature and the planet.
2. It notes that environmental pollution can cause issues like global warming, impact human and animal health, and increase natural disasters. Different types of pollution including air, water, noise, land, and radioactive pollution are also discussed.
3. Steps that individuals can take to reduce pollution are provided, such as going paperless, avoiding single-use plastic bottles, not smoking, and practicing waste management. Protecting the environment and sustainability are emphasized.
Air quality is influenced by both natural and human factors and varies over time and location. It is important to continuously monitor major air pollutants which can be harmful such as particulate matter, nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, ozone, and volatile organic compounds. Concentrations are typically measured in parts per million, parts per billion, or micrograms per cubic meter to assess air quality standards and impacts on health and the environment.
Environmental pollution can occur in air, water, soil, and noise. Air pollution includes gases like carbon monoxide and dioxide which can contribute to global warming. Water pollution is caused by industrial waste, pesticides, and organic matter which reduce oxygen levels. Soil pollution results from trash, chemicals, and fertilizers. Noise pollution comes from vehicles, planes, and loud sounds. Pollution disrupts ecosystems, reduces soil fertility, and harms human health.
IRJET - Air Pollution a Major Threat to the People of Khrew (J&K)IRJET Journal
This document discusses air pollution in Khrew, Jammu and Kashmir, India. It finds that air pollution is a major threat to the people of Khrew, mainly affecting children. The main sources of air pollution are the approximately 6 cement plants in the area, which emit around 100,000 kg of toxic gases per day. This high level of air pollution has led to decreased production of saffron, fruits, and vegetables over time as well as decreased water levels. It is also linked to increased respiratory diseases and deaths among the local population. The document recommends various safety measures that can be taken to reduce air pollution, such as using cleaner fuels, limiting private transport, planting more trees, and locating cement plants further away from
Monitor indicators of genetic diversity from space using Earth Observation dataSpatial Genetics
Genetic diversity within and among populations is essential for species persistence. While targets and indicators for genetic diversity are captured in the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, assessing genetic diversity across many species at national and regional scales remains challenging. Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) need accessible tools for reliable and efficient monitoring at relevant scales. Here, we describe how Earth Observation satellites (EO) make essential contributions to enable, accelerate, and improve genetic diversity monitoring and preservation. Specifically, we introduce a workflow integrating EO into existing genetic diversity monitoring strategies and present a set of examples where EO data is or can be integrated to improve assessment, monitoring, and conservation. We describe how available EO data can be integrated in innovative ways to support calculation of the genetic diversity indicators of the GBF monitoring framework and to inform management and monitoring decisions, especially in areas with limited research infrastructure or access. We also describe novel, integrative approaches to improve the indicators that can be implemented with the coming generation of EO data, and new capabilities that will provide unprecedented detail to characterize the changes to Earth’s surface and their implications for biodiversity, on a global scale.

Based on the results of sensory evaluation of enriched aramang baked products proven that three (3) treatments were all highly acceptable in terms of variable Odor, Taste, Flavor, Color and Textures conducted by the researchers.
Evolving Lifecycles with High Resolution Site Characterization (HRSC) and 3-D...Joshua Orris
The incorporation of a 3DCSM and completion of HRSC provided a tool for enhanced, data-driven, decisions to support a change in remediation closure strategies. Currently, an approved pilot study has been obtained to shut-down the remediation systems (ISCO, P&T) and conduct a hydraulic study under non-pumping conditions. A separate micro-biological bench scale treatability study was competed that yielded positive results for an emerging innovative technology. As a result, a field pilot study has commenced with results expected in nine-twelve months. With the results of the hydraulic study, field pilot studies and an updated risk assessment leading site monitoring optimization cost lifecycle savings upwards of $15MM towards an alternatively evolved best available technology remediation closure strategy.
