He said that a 70 horsepower two-stroke vehicle caused as much hydrocarbon pollution in one hour as a four-stroke automobile did after running 5,000 miles. An environmentalist said that pollution could be controlled by implementing an environment-friendly transport policy. He said that the main air pollutants were particulate matter (PM) (tiny particles of solid or liquid suspended in a gas), noise and nitrogen dioxide. In this connection, Shah said that the Punjab government had called a...

However two million urban residents should still use bottled water for cooking and drinking until any remaining polluted water was flushed out of the supply pipes, it said. Tap water from a dangerously polluted lake in eastern China is returning to normal, although two million residents should still use bottled water for cooking and drinking, state media reported Monday. A huge blue-green algae bloom in Taihu lake appeared last month, contaminating drinking supplies in Wuxi city and...

The quality of water from all tap water companies in Wuxi is stable and has met the standards for drinking water, said the local health authorities.

Nascent efforts to resolve conflicts in tiger reserves through a policy of coexistence in large forest tracts, which are not classed as critical wildlife habitats, need to be supported. The interim report of the Wildlife Institute of India (WII) on declining tiger population has once again brought the 'tigers versus...

Numerous surveys this year turned up only 25 of the officially threatened fish, a tiny fraction of the number found in similar surveys taken over the past seven years. Unfortunately, for many years California governors and federal and state environmental officials at agencies ranging from the Department of Water Resources to Fish and Game to the Bureau of Reclamation have been unwilling to implement the increasingly urgent recommendations of the scientific teams to change the way the delta...

But because numerous threats remain for smelt and other fish, water and wildlife officials said the shutdown may foretell more water disruptions to come as the crisis in the Delta deepens. The fate of a water supply serving two in three Californians has come down to tides, temperature and the mysterious movements of a tiny fish. The duration of the shutdown depends on the fish, which in turn awaits its cue in an intricate dance of natural forces before it moves to safer waters. The...
