Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], March 28 (ANI): Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) has installed a 'smog tower' at Hudson Circle that uses nanotechnology to purify the air.
The tower has been developed by the start-up Nutan Labs.
Bengaluru is one of the "highly polluted" city, said Chief Executive Officer (CEO) HS Nuthan, adding that they have observed almost 90 per cent reduction in ambient air pollutants of the area after using the nanotechnology.
The device uses nanoparticles to absorb pollutants from the air such as particulate matter (PM) 2.5, PM 10, oxides of carbon, sulphur, and nitrogen, he said.
To check the functioning and efficacy of the device, the Karnataka State Pollution Control Board (KSPCB) has set up a mobile facility at the spot to study the real-time effects of the smog tower. (ANI)

Plastic waste and

Researchers have shown how carbon dioxide from industrial operations or even straight from the air can be gathered and converted into clean, sustainable fuels using just solar energy. The researchers, from the University of Cambridge, developed a solar-powered reactor that converts captured CO2 and plastic waste into sustainable fuels and other valuable chemical products. In tests, CO2 was converted into syngas, a key building block for sustainable liquid fuels, and plastic bottles were converted into glycolic acid, which is widely used in the cosmetics industry.

Plastic Pollution can be controlled via its 'DNA': Research

The plastic crisis has been an ongoing environmental issue for a long time now. Disposal of plastic is always a difficult task since the material doesn't decompose for a long time. Burning and dumping have been two ways it has been disposed for the time being. However, a team of researchers from Queensland University of Technology has brought up an innovative proposal which prove to be a breakthrough in finding the way out of the Plastic Pollution crisis.

Research: Cutting coal offers significant health benefits

North Carolina [US], September 14 (ANI): According to a recent study that used data from Texas and nearby states, the most popular methods for cutting greenhouse gas emissions from electricity generation also have enough positive effects on health to pay for themselves entirely. Although Black and low-income areas also reap benefits, the study found that they nonetheless experience greater levels of air pollution and its associated health impacts.
