Industrial Pollutants and Environmental Degradation: A Challenge for Sustainable Development

Uncategorized

Authors: Riya Sharma, Prof. Abha Dubey

Abstract: Industrialization has significantly contributed to economic growth and modernization, but it has also emerged as a major source of environmental degradation. Industrial activities release a wide range of pollutants, including sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, particulate matter, heavy metals, toxic chemicals, industrial effluents, and greenhouse gases, which adversely affect air, water, and soil quality. These pollutants disrupt natural ecosystems, alter biogeochemical cycles, and pose serious threats to human health and biodiversity. Air pollution from industries leads to problems such as acid rain, global warming, and respiratory diseases, while untreated industrial wastewater contaminates rivers and groundwater, causing toxicity to aquatic life and scarcity of safe drinking water. Soil pollution due to industrial waste disposal reduces soil fertility, agricultural productivity, and food safety. Environmental degradation resulting from industrial pollution directly challenges the goals of sustainable development, which aims to balance economic growth with environmental protection and social well-being. This study emphasizes the urgent need for sustainable industrial practices, including the adoption of cleaner production technologies, effective waste treatment, recycling, and strict implementation of environmental regulations. Promoting environmental awareness and corporate responsibility is equally important. Addressing industrial pollution is therefore essential to minimize environmental degradation and to ensure a sustainable and healthy future for present and coming generations.

Uncategorized

Authors: Shimpe Kumari, Amrita Kumari, Dr. Balwant Singh

Abstract: Plastic pollution has emerged as a significant environmental challenge affecting freshwater ecosystems globally. This study investigated the effects of plastic pollution on freshwater ecosystems by assessing microplastic contamination and selected water quality parameters across different sampling sites exposed to varying levels of anthropogenic activities. A quantitative and descriptive research design was employed to evaluate the distribution, abundance, and ecological impacts of microplastics in freshwater environments. Water, sediment, and biological samples were collected using standardized sampling and laboratory procedures to identify and quantify plastic particles. Key physicochemical parameters, including dissolved oxygen, pH, and turbidity, were also analyzed to determine the relationship between plastic pollution and water quality. The findings revealed considerable spatial variation in microplastic concentration among the sampling sites. Highly urbanized and industrialized areas recorded elevated levels of contamination, with the highest concentration observed at Site F (390 particles/L), followed by Site C (340 particles/L). Sites with increased microplastic abundance also exhibited lower dissolved oxygen levels, higher turbidity, and slight reductions in pH, indicating ecological stress and deterioration of water quality. The study further showed that microplastics persist in freshwater environments and pose serious risks to aquatic organisms through ingestion, habitat alteration, and toxic chemical transfer within aquatic food webs. The study concludes that plastic pollution significantly threatens freshwater ecosystem health and biodiversity. Effective waste management strategies, environmental regulations, and continuous monitoring programs are therefore essential to reduce plastic contamination and protect freshwater resources.

A Comprehensive Review on Carbon–Epoxy Composite I-Section Beams for Lightweight Structural Applications

Uncategorized

Authors: Souda Pranavi, Vardelli Disharani, Peddamma Stalin, P.V.R.Ravindra Reddy

Abstract: The demand for lightweight, high-strength, and corrosion-resistant structural materials has significantly increased in aerospace, automotive, marine, and civil engineering industries. Carbon–epoxy composite materials have emerged as one of the most promising alternatives to conventional metallic materials because of their superior mechanical and thermal properties . Among various structural configurations, composite I-section beams have attracted considerable attention due to their excellent bending stiffness, high strength-to-weight ratio, fatigue resistance, and structural efficiency. This review paper presents a detailed overview of carbon–epoxy composite I-section beams with emphasis on material properties, fabrication techniques, finite element analysis, experimental investigations, failure mechanisms, optimization strategies, and structural applications. The paper critically examines the influence of fiber orientation, stacking sequence, laminate thickness, curing conditions, and manufacturing defects on the structural performance of composite beams. Advanced fabrication methods such as prepreg layup, vacuum bagging, and autoclave curing are discussed in detail. Recent developments in finite element modeling for stress, strain, deflection, fatigue, and buckling analyses are also reviewed. Furthermore, various non-destructive evaluation techniques used for identifying internal defects and monitoring structural integrity are examined. The review identifies major research gaps in composite beam development and highlights future opportunities for high-performance lightweight structural systems.

Inflation And Percapita Income In India

Uncategorized

Authors: Gargi Chander

Abstract: This paper examines the relationship between consumer price inflation (CPI) and per capita net state domestic product (PCNSDP) across Indian states using a balanced panel dataset spanning 2014-15 to 2024-25. The study draws on official data from the RBI’s Handbook of Statistics. After constructing a balanced panel of 24 states and Union Territories over 11 years (264 observations), applying a suite of panel econometric estimators: pooled OLS, one-way fixed effects (entity), two-way fixed effects, random effects GLS, between estimator, and first-differences. Model selection follows the Hausman specification test. Unit-root diagnostics using augmented Dickey–Fuller tests indicate that both series carry non-stationary behaviour in levels, motivating the first-differences specification. The two-way fixed effects model—which accounts for both time-invariant state heterogeneity and common macroeconomic shocks—yields a statistically significant positive coefficient on CPI inflation (β = 0.0049, p = 0.046), while the first-difference estimator produces a significant negative coefficient (β = −0.0084, p < 0.001). The Hausman test (p = 0.91) favours random effects over one-way fixed effects. Taken together, these results suggest that the inflation–income relationship in India is nuanced: short-run income growth is dampened by inflationary shocks, but within-period cross-sectional variation, once purged of state and year effects, shows a mild positive co-movement consistent with demand-pull dynamics. The paper contributes a rigorous methodological treatment of India's state-level inflation–income nexus and discusses policy implications for monetary and fiscal coordination.
