    Human health is harmed by both brief and prolonged period exposure to PM2.5 pollution. Particulate Matter (PM) is commonly divided into two groups, PM2.5 is particles with an aerodynamic diameter lower than 2.5 ¿m, and if the particles' aerodynamic diameter is between 2.5 to 10 ¿m then it is PM10. PM2.5 particles are generated by different man-made and natural sources such as vehicular emissions, industrial emissions, power generation emissions, cooking, house cleaning, forest fire, volcano eruption etc. Especially, PM2.5 particles are critically dangerous particles which is capable to interpenetrate into human lungs and bronchi; which causes respiratory diseases like cardiovascular disease, stroke, chronic bronchitis, asthma etc., to human beings. Thus one-third of the effects of PM2.5 pollution is associated with lung cancer, stroke, and chronic vascular disease. Majority of the particulate pollutants consist of organic compounds, such as carbon-derived compounds and also nitrogen and sulfur-based inorganic compounds. Some other sort of primary pollutant is bio-aerosols, which include bacteria, viruses, and fungi. Because they are easily spread by contaminated air, this significantly enhances the risk to human health. These biological pollutants will induce toxigenic, allergic, infectious, and other disorders in both chronic and acute forms. To protect humans from PM2.5 pollution filtration of the air is the best preservation. Resultantly, interest in high-proficiency air filtration technologies which could collect dangerous particles, toxic gases and biological contaminants all at the same time is growing. Also, these high-efficiency air filter media with different multi functionalities that can work in various temperature and humidity conditions for real-time applications is gathering a lot of attention in the past few years.

    A former FBI agent's urgent call for law enforcement to prioritize far-right violence and end tolerance for police racism As a long-serving FBI agent, Mike German worked undercover in white supremacist and militia groups, developing a deep understanding of their mindsets and strategies. In Policing White Supremacy, German issues a wake-up call about law enforcement's dangerously lax approach to far-right violence.Because the FBI refuses to prioritize investigations of violence by white supremacists, it can continue to use its domestic terrorism powers to target much less violent groups, such as Black Lives Matter and environmental activists, suppressing their advocacy. Meanwhile, far-right militants have committed over one hundred deadly acts just since the 2017 Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, and attempted to obstruct transfer of power to a duly elected U.S. president.Noting that the FBI does not even compile accurate national data on white supremacist violence, German exposes the continuing tolerance of overt racism in law enforcement and police membership in white supremacist organizations. The threat these officers pose became clear when at least twenty-eight current and former law enforcement officials were alleged to have participated in the January 6 breach of the Capitol.A book with profound relevance as we head into what is sure to be a contentious presidential election, Policing White Supremacy urges us to recognize and address a serious threat to democracy.

Anthropogenic activites have a large and profound impact on the environment. Water is highly essential for the life of living organisms, but it is becoming rapidly polluted as a result of effluents thrown in our natural resources. Chemicals, food and beverages, textile, pesticides and insecticides, dyeing and printing industries, etc. are among those causing water pollution. Dye effluents originating from production and application industries, etc. pose a major threat to surrounding ecosystems, because of their toxicity, recalcitrant nature and some time, potentially carcinogenic nature. Colored solutions containing dyes from industrial effluents may cause harmful effects on human beings, animals and plants, due to photosensitization and photodynamic damage. The color in the wastewater is an obvious indicator of water pollution due to dyes and pigments. The discovery of synthetic dyes has provided a wide range of colors, which are color fast and provides a wider color range and brighter shades. If this colored water can be treated to give colorless and less or non-toxic water, then it can be reused for various useful purposes. Dyes are becoming a major source of organic pollutants, which havepolluted the aquatic ecosystem. Synthetic dyes create a lot of problems due to their toxic nature and adverse effect on all forms of life and therefore, the removal of dyes from wastewater becomes necessary.

    The sixth goal of sustainable development goals emphasizes on ensuring access to water and sanitation for all. 7.6 billion people are dependent upon fresh water resources which account for 2.5% of the total available water on earth. Out of 2.5%, around 2.2% is locked in ice and glaciers, leaving behind a thin proportion of available water for human use. A major proportion of the accessible water resources are affected by pollution in one form or the other. As per the United Nations website, "Worldwide, one in three people do not have access to safe drinking water, two out of five people do not have a basic hand-washing facility with soap and water, and more than 673 million people still practice open defecation". Industrial wastes, sewage from the household, and radioactivity are some of the other main reasons responsible for growing contamination in freshwater resources. As a result of this, water bodies in many regions are contaminated and deemed unfit for human consumption. It is estimated that more than 80 % of wastewater resulting from human activities is discharged into rivers or the sea without the removal of pollutants. One of the notable sources of water pollution are industries, particularly those which utilize a large amount of water like dyeing, textile, metal processing (electroplating), paper & pulp industries, and tanneries are some of the major contributors towards the pollution of water resources. A large amount of organic and inorganic pollutants generated from these industries are dumped in the surrounding water bodies. It is estimated that in India, one-third of the water pollution is contributed by industrial discharge, solid waste and hazardous waste. The pollutants arising from industrial discharge are usually left untreated which poses a serious threat to our environment. These pollutants broadly classified under as organic and inorganic pollutants. The management of these pollutants is challenging and the textile and electroplating industries exist in our neighborhood. Adsorption is a heterogeneous phase phenomenon where a molecule binds to the solid surface of the adsorbent by physical or chemical forces. The process operates by adding adsorbent to wastewater after optimizing the process variables, and contaminants are thereafter adsorbed on the surface of the adsorbent by various physical and chemical forces.

    In a rapidly changing world, the need for ecological restoration has become increasingly critical. The delicate balance of our ecosystems is being threatened by human activities such as deforestation, pollution, and climate change. The consequences of these actions are far-reaching, affecting not only the environment but also our own health and well-being. Therefore, it is essential for us to understand the importance of ecological restoration and take action to preserve and restore our natural habitats.Ecological restoration is the process of repairing and rehabilitating ecosystems that have been degraded or destroyed. It involves a wide range of activities, including reforestation, habitat creation, and the removal of pollutants from soil and water. By restoring ecosystems, we can help to reverse the damage caused by human activities and promote the recovery of biodiversity.One of the key reasons why ecological restoration is important is its role in preserving biodiversity. Ecosystems are home to a wide variety of plant and animal species, all of which are interconnected. When an ecosystem is degraded, the loss of habitat and resources can lead to the decline or extinction of species. By restoring ecosystems, we can provide a safe and thriving habitat for these species, ensuring their survival for future generations.Ecological restoration also plays a crucial role in mitigating the impacts of climate change. Healthy ecosystems act as carbon sinks, absorbing and storing large amounts of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. By restoring degraded ecosystems, we can enhance their capacity to sequester carbon, helping to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and combat climate change.Furthermore, ecological restoration can provide numerous benefits to human communities. Restored ecosystems improve water quality, reduce the risk of floods, and provide a source of clean air. They also offer recreational opportunities, promote tourism, and contribute to the overall well-being of communities. By investing in ecological restoration, we can create sustainable and resilient habitats that support both wildlife and human populations.
