Maternal and Infant Pollutant Exposure through Breastfeeding in Industrial Punjab
Abstract: Because of their lasting presence, bioaccumulation in the food chain and/or potential for transferring to infants through breastfeeding, environmentally persistent chemical pollutants, such as per- and polyfluoroalkyl compounds (PFAs), pesticides, heavy metals and industrial emissions, represent significant public health threats. A study was conducted using a structured questionnaire to gather information about maternal demographics (age, education, marital status), how mothers were exposed to environmental contaminants through occupational activities, the ways …

Water Pollution: Its Impact on the Human Health: Causes and Preventions
Abstract: In India, water pollution is a big issue. This problem has gotten much worse in recent years as India has become more industrialized and urbanized. Water pollution is the contamination of water bodies; it occurs when pollutants are dumped into water bodies, either directly or indirectly, without proper treatment to remove dangerous substances. Any chemical, physical, or biological change in the quality of water that has a deleterious effect on …

Progress and Uses of Satellite Remote Sensing
Abstract: Satellite remote sensing has become an important tool for watching, studying, and controlling both natural and man-made systems on Earth. Satellite sensors collect electromagnetic radiation that is reflected or transmitted from the Earth's surface. This data is needed for environmental monitoring, resource management, and hazard assessment. Recent improvements in sensor resolution, data processing techniques, and cloud-based platforms have made remote sensing applications much more accurate and easier to use. The …

Gravel Scrap Tires Admixed Drainage Material in Landfill Leachate Collection System
Abstract: Amidst water for sustenance, underground water quality becomes further deterministic. The stance of its continual contamination due to infiltration, uncontrolled industrialization, unplanned inhabitation, etc., is making “quantity” meaningless unless maintenance of quality is addressed. One of the potent measures to combat this infiltration is creation of a semi-impervious media below the subsoil, which may regulate the outcome judiciously, and in a proffered way. The logistics, however, do not allow planned …

Geo-spatial Predictions of Soil Organic Carbon: A Review
Abstract: Soil Organic Carbon (SOC) plays an important role in conservation of biophysical environment, i.e., biogeochemical cycles, soil fertility, water quality, atmospheric carbon control, temperature control, sustainable land management and food production. Geo-statistical techniques can be useful for precise estimations and preparation of high quality SOC maps essential for planning and monitoring the biophysical environment. Several studies have used geo-statistical techniques successfully for description of spatial patterns, quantitative modeling, spatial predictions …

Climate Change and Urban Heat Islands in India: A Review Across Nine Urban Agglomerations
Abstract: Since 1901, anthropogenic climate change has raised India's mean surface temperatures by about 0.9°C, compounding warming. Rapid urbanization creates persistent Urban Heat Islands (UHIs), making cities dangerously hotter than rural areas. A combination of these forces presents acute thermal hazards to hundreds of millions of urban dwellers. The paper discusses the emergence and intensification of UHI in nine large Indian cities (Delhi-NCR, Ahmedabad, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Pune, Bengaluru, Mumbai, and …

Computer Programming Tool for the Design of Concrete Mixes for Pavement Quality Concrete Roads in India
Abstract: Basically concrete is a mixture of cement, sand, aggregates and water. These constituents bonds together and hardens with time and give strength to structure. The proportioning of concrete mixes consists of determining relative quantities of materials to be used. Thus to calculate proportions of various components of concrete several mix calculations are required to be performed. Consequently, it is not possible to select at once the exact mix proportion required …
