What are the different Research studies conducted in Air Pollution ?

Image
Research on air pollution spans a wide range of disciplines, focusing on understanding the sources, effects, and solutions to this global problem. Here are some of the key areas of research being conducted on air pollution: 1. Source Identification and Attribution Emission Inventories: Developing detailed inventories of air pollution sources, such as vehicles, industrial plants, agricultural activities, and natural sources like wildfires and dust storms. Source Apportionment Studies: Identifying the contribution of different pollution sources (e.g., traffic, industry, domestic) to overall air pollution levels in specific regions. Satellite Monitoring: Using satellite data to track pollution plumes, identify hotspots, and monitor transboundary pollution movement. 2. Health Impact Studies Epidemiological Studies: Investigating the short-term and long-term health impacts of air pollution exposure, including respiratory, cardiovascular, and neurological effects. Vulnerable Populations:...

Why Wind Turbine Blades are hard to recycle?

Image
Wind turbines are the oldest technology that is developed since 1800 century for different purposes. The blades that are used made of different materials like wood, metal, polymers, etc. The installation of wind turbines with three blades in different parts of the world, for the production of electricity which is the major commodity in the industry 4.0 and further.  Old model wind turbines are 60 feet height which has the capacity to generate power to three modern houses. Whereas, modern wind turbines with 525 feet (onshore) and 850 feet (offshore), can supply power to 460 homes. The onshore wind turbine blades are 170 feet which is equal to 4 school buses. The lifespan of these blades is around 8 - 10 years. The current possibility to reuse old blades are: Shredding - further shredding - refining Cement factor - firing in Calens  Some of the reusable of wind turbine blades: Padisterin bridges Signal towers Fencing Playgrounds Public monument Bicycle shears All the above can b...
