Environment- friendly Pavement Construction Using Plastic Trash and Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement-An Overview
Abstract: Plastic pollution has emerged as a significant environmental concern, with detrimental effects on ecosystems and human health. As a waste product contaminating air, water, and land, plastic poses a grave threat to the environment, perpetuating a global crisis. Its non-biodegradable nature means that once produced, plastic persists indefinitely, accumulating in landfills, water bodies, and natural habitats. This widespread accumulation of plastic waste not only compromises the aesthetic value of landscapes …

Climate Change and Air Pollution Dynamics: Synergistic Effects and Mitigation Strategies
Abstract: Climate change and air pollution are deeply interlinked environmental problems that jointly exacerbate human health, ecosystem integrity, and economic well‑being. As global temperatures rise, shifts in meteorological conditions—such as increased heat, altered precipitation, and more frequent extreme weather events—modify pollutant generation, dispersion, chemical transformation, and removal processes. Meanwhile, many sources of air pollution are also sources of greenhouse gases (GHGs), giving rise to potential co‑benefits or trade‑offs when formulating mitigation …
