Anthropogenic Intensification and Emerging Air Pollution Patterns across the Western Himalaya: Multi-Year Spatiotemporal Case Study
Abstract: Anthropogenic intensification is profoundly impacting air quality within vulnerable mountain ecosystems, yet the availability of long-term, high-resolution data from the Western Himalaya is strikingly limited. This study provides a detailed multi-year (2020-2024) spatiotemporal analysis of particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5), nitrogen oxides (NOₓ), ammonia (NH3), and ozone (O3) concentrations across contrasting anthropogenic settings—specifically, tourist influx zones such as Dharamshala and industrial hotspots like Damtal in Himachal Pradesh, India. Key pollutants …

Molecular Interaction and Simulation Studies of Inhibitors for Endothelin-1 Receptors
Abstract: High altitude cerebral edema (HACE) is a life threatening severe form of acute mountain sickness (AMS) which causes headache, unbalanced gait, behavioral changes, and altered mental status. It also carries features like hallucinations or coma, as well as a variety of neurological deficits. Prevention of edema fluid formation with minimal side effects remains to be discovered. Endothelin-1 receptors were found to be involved in the pathogenesis of HACE. Due to …
