Lockdown increased exposure to indoor air pollution

The Hindu  

During COVID-19 lockdowns, many countries observed historic improvements in ambient air quality. Our new study shows that despite the historic improvements in ambient air quality, PM2.5 exposures increased for 65% of Indians and a third of the global population during the lockdown, largely attributed to biomass cooking activity. We introduced and utilised a novel exposure framework that incorporated nationwide time-use …

Man-made mass now outweighs all living biomass on Earth: study

The Hindu  

For the first time in history man-made materials now likely outweigh all life on Earth, scientists said Wednesday in research detailing the “crossover point” at which humanity's footprint is heavier than that of the natural world. Estimating changes in global biomass and man-made mass since 1990, the research showed that the mass of human-produced objects stood at just three percent …
