Pollution : Should we be worried in Bengaluru?

Air pollution is the biggest global environmental health risk, responsible for more than 6 million deaths in 2016. Middle-income countries like ours where development and urbanization have brought increased emissions from many sources, including heavy industry and motorised transport, have outpaced air pollution control measures. Polluted air is a complex mixture of gases and aerosols and the most measured and important pollutant of concern is particulate matter (PM) which manifests as dust, soot, smog or smoke. Chemical components vary according to the source.

Early blooming in namma mango trees

Mango trees flowering in the months of November and December has become a common occurrence in Bengaluru. Strange as most old residents of the city will recall, they usually would flower only in February and bring us fruit in May. However, now in the city, the trees are heavily laden with flowers and in some cases tiny mangoes as well.
