Air pollution models are basically for simulation of the transport and diffusion of various pollutants {(suspended particulate matter) SPM, (Sulfur dioxide) S02, Nitrogen Oxides (NOX), Carbon monoxide (CO), etc.} being released into the atmosphere as a result of industrial combustion processes, domestic fuel burning during cooking, and vehicular movement. The models are extensively applied in […]

Brownfields are properties that are vacant and underused. They may be contaminated due to how they were used in the past. These sites are like forgotten land due to severe and natural contamination and financial and social complexities prevent their redevelopment. They are generally identified as struggling urban areas, mainly in urban centres, peri-urban, and […]
Wetland protection and restoration are essential for preserving ecosystems and biodiversity. Protection involves legal measures, like designating wetlands as protected areas, while restoration aims to rehabilitate degraded wetlands. Both are crucial for maintaining water quality, flood control, and habitat for wildlife. Wetlands encompass diverse ecosystems, including marshes, swamps, bogs, and coastal estuaries, each playing a […]
The term “adaption” describes changes made to social, ecological, or economic systems in response to actual or predicted climatic stimuli and those stimuli’s effects or impacts. It refers to adjustments made to procedures, routines, and structures to take advantage of opportunities brought on by climate change. It will be essential to involve local governments and […]
Searching for ways to manage plastic waste along with its methods? Plastic waste, also known as plastic pollution, is “the accumulation of plastic objects” (such as plastic bottles and other items) in the environment of the Earth that negatively impacts humans, animals, and their habitats. Various methods are used to dispose of plastic waste, including […]
