Pollen calendar to depict seasonal periodicities of airborne pollen species in a city situated in Indo-Gangetic plain, India

Khaiwal Ravindra et al.

Summary: The study in Chandigarh shows Morus alba and other plants as the main sources of pollen from 2018 to 2020, with the highest concentration observed from February to April. The research also indicates that arboreal pollen dominates in spring, while herb pollen dominates in autumn.

Quantifying the high resolution seasonal emission of air pollutants from crop residue burning in India

Saroj Kumar Sahu et al.

Summary: Biomass burning is a significant environmental threat in India, especially during autumn months, impacting air quality in nearby cities. Crop residue burning from rice, wheat, maize and sugarcane contributes to a large portion of PM10 emissions in the country, with winter and summer being the peak emission seasons. The developed gridded emissions inventory provides valuable data for policy makers to plan mitigation and control strategies for deteriorating air quality in various regions of India.

Does airborne pollen influence COVID-19 outbreak?

Khaiwal Ravindra et al.

Summary: The study suggests a potential association between pollen bioaerosols and COVID-19, but there is limited research on the impact of pollen on SARS-CoV-2, which could be beneficial for future studies. Patients with allergic rhinitis and asthma were found to have pre-modified immune activation to provide protection against COVID-19. Further multidisciplinary research is needed to determine if airborne pollen acts as a potent carrier for SARS-CoV-2 and how it affects virus survivals.

COVID-19 lockdown-induced changes in NO2 levels across India observed by multi-satellite and surface observations

Akash Biswal et al.

Summary: Based on satellite and ground observations, there was a noticeable decrease in NO2 levels across different regions of India during the COVID-19 lockdown, with urban areas experiencing a more significant reduction compared to rural areas. However, localized enhancements in NO2 were also detected in some scattered regions.
