NIDHI JAMWAL looks at ways to utilise flyash, and so combat a polluting scourge
How has the river that flows through one of the most industrialised regions in India fared since it was first written about in 1993? Down to Earth revisits the coal dust and slurry-ridden Damodar basin to see if anything has changed - for better or worse
Faltering steps and narrow vision thwarts decades of research
This paper presents maps of anthropogenic Hg emissions worldwide within a 1°×1° latitude/longitude grid system in 1995. As such, the paper is designed for modelers simulating the Hg transport within air
Mercury distribution in the environment has been a focus of scientific attention because of the potential health risks posed by mercury exposure. Never before in the history of mankind has there been such
Gets clean air credits by undertaking energy projects in Kazakhstan
Acting on a petition, the Supreme Court (SC) directed the Bokaro Thermal Power Station to identify the area where it can dispose of its slurry and fly-ash safely and make compensatory afforestation
<p>A comprehensive, spatially resolved (0.25°×0.25°) fossil fuel consumption database and emissions inventory was constructed, for India, for the first time. Emissions of sulphur dioxide
Ram Naik passes a death sentence for Dahanu s fragile ecology
Japan will give a loan of us $138.45 million to Costa Rica to build a hydroelectric power plant. The foreign ministers of both the countries recently signed an agreement to this effect.
In this paper the authors have estimated for 1990 and 1995 the inventory of greenhouse gases CO2, CH4 and N2O for India at a national and sub-regional district level. The district level estimates are important for improving the national inventories as well as for developing sound mitigation strategies at manageable smaller scales.

fine-particle pollution from power plants, especially those using coal, is responsible for the death of 30,000 people every year in the us . This was stated in a report entitled Death,
Fly ash presents an alternative to the polluting burnt bricks
With another drought looming over Gujarat, industries have been banned from drawing water from dams and reservoirs in Saurashtra, Kutch and north Gujarat. The Union government is planning to
Air pollution and poor power supply can be two sides of the same coin. This is the message of the first environmental audit of electrostatic precipitators installed in thermal power plants to control pollution
canada's greenhouse gas emissions, in 1998, were 19 per cent more than the target set under the Kyoto Protocol, the country's environment ministry has revealed. The ministry says that
Carbon dioxide emissions from power plants can be reduced by a process involving algae, sunlight, and a little common sense
