Delhi Hit by Air Pollution

Deteriorating air quality in the national capital can translate into 3,000 additional "premature deaths" annually due to air pollution related diseases, the Centre for Science and Environment has said in a report.

The report, submitted to the Delhi government, estimated that about 55 per cent of Delhi's population is directly affected by air pollution as they live in a radius of 500 metre of "urban roads" where pollution level was found to be maximum.

"Those who live close to roads, are at a serious health risk from vehicular air pollution," the report said adding that people living close to such roads are prone to a variety of physical disorders.

The report said around one lakh deaths take place annually in Delhi and the figure can go up by 3,000 additional premature deaths annually due to air pollution related diseases.

The city government has already set up a committee to suggest measures to improve air quality in the city.

A steep decline in sea ice in Arctic

The ice glaciers are melting in many regions and particularly the record breaking cold that gripped Europe this winter could be tied to a surprising culprit - a steep decline in sea ice in Arctic following a warming of the polar region , scientists have claimed.Using a combination of observational data and computer modelling, researchers were able to connect the autumn changes in Arctic sea ice and the resulting changes in atmospheric conditions - increased moisture levels to colder temperatures and increased snowfall across North America, Europe and Asia. 

The scientists have concluded that since 1970 Arctic sea ice cover has declined steeply. Some researchers have warned that if current patterns continue, the Arctic could experience nearly ice-free summers within the next few decades, LiveScience reported.

Bangalore – Getting Hot due to global warming

Hi,

Its going to be one year, that I couldn’t able to post any news regarding due to global warming. This one year, India saw many changes, but no change in reduction of global warming. On one of my post I mentioned that metropolitan cities will face severe global warming and that’s what happened to the garden city of India, Bangalore. Bangalore always enjoys the moderate climate, but due to the rise in global and local pollution levels, it’s getting hotter day by day. 

In a gather during the Annual Conference on Environment and Sustainability in Bangalore, Dr J Srininvasan Chairman, Divecha Centre for Climate Change and Prof, Centre for Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, Indian Institute of Science Bangalore said “excessive consumption of fossil fuels like petrol and diesel has resulted in carbon emission of 390 ppm (parts per million) in the last two to three years. If remedial measures are not taken, summer seasons in the coming years are going to be cruel”.

According to him, global warming has had a direct impact on the lives of the people in the developing counties as it has impacted groundwater levels. And, even now if the issue of global warming is not addressed, consequences would be disastrous. India’s contribution to global warming is also less and if the same situation exists, there may be a change to get water scarcity. Kanwer Pal, Secretary, Department of Ecology and Environment, said that “two of the five industrial areas are highly polluted in the State”. So still we have time, we need to wake up soon and some measures should be taken to stop global warming.
