Is making a family of 6 shes using the traditional cooking stall a juno which blows out clouds of smoke. On the market its a beautiful the use of mud still we dont have an alternative look at the markets people have cooked with to last for generations their business we dont have the money to buy better fuel. If we did we might be able to use another kind of story like. d d india 77 percent of households still use 5 cheap and easy to access liquid petroleum gas. Is a privilege reserved for the. Open fire means. The spendable hot stove breathing in kerosene fumes and smoke from. Collecting boat is a burden on the environment and. They have to go far into the forest to collect wood sometimes very far sometimes we dont have to go so far which up the wood with an axe tight the pieces together and carry it home on our heads from work or it is a couple to get a one room. Was that it usually takes about one or 2 hours the would last about 8 days sometimes it only lasts 5 or 6 days. On a number gemini i spend 300. 00 m. Summer day 4 hours a year collecting vote for this job it is a menial dolls and physically demanding the stoves also pose a health risk. Each year almost half a 1000000 people die prematurely from illness attributed to household air pollution in india. Traditionally stoves are the main source of the problem and vim and Young Children are the vest affected. These stoves are so inefficient that divest up to 90 percent of the energy generated and require up to one 3rd of the familys income for a few then also to sponsible for a quarter of the worlds black carbon emissions. A social enterprise has been working to tackle the problem of Energy Poverty and the role for india has developed and efficient. Good uses voted but around 60 percent less than a Traditional Store it is also designed to significantly cut the smoke and box of commissions that are responsible for health problems. The organization distributes the stove student households in india and elsewhere in the hood at a subsidized rate my lunch out again when the coop set up but now. That you have had the project for 3 years and vietnam has seen its benefits for you up on a possible incentives improving this even lot of time in the news in this type of life that i love that youre in the path of that and benefit is that they live in that area and fewer trees are being chopped down. This has a Huge Positive impact the more i thought of her the look. Who lives in the village neighboring shrug made the switch with the help of a Community LedMicrofinance Group many like her cant afford even the subsidized cost of 30 euros and need financial help. My kid is over there is there was the one we used to need more than 10 kilos of wood now we need only 5 and cooking takes half the time it used to take or is this like they had to be like theres a lot of. Doctors still struggles with Health Issues resulting from a smoke inhalation she cant afford to buy one of the new. Boarders are covered by ice burn the water continuously the older i get the less i can see i have frequent bouts of called and cough my neck and back hard from the piles of wood i have to carry there was any. Like sharda some 700000000 people in india continue to rely on solid feuds and traditional cookstove smoking and poverty remains a major problem. Scientists as you that air pollution can even damage the brain dyna of pollutants may cost changes in the brain structure so what kind of substances are present in the plate lets have a. 9 out of 10 people worldwide breathe act containing high levels of pollutants according to the World Health Organization w h o. That has to do with for harmful substances particulate matter ozone night. Trojan dioxide and sulfur dioxide. These air pollutants are mainly caused by industrial activity and traffic. But private households also contribute to air pollution around 3000000000 people around the world are dependent on dirty solid fuels for cooking such as wood charcoal or even waste. A fine particulate matter with a diameter of 2. 5 micro metres or smaller is especially dangerous as it can get deep into the lungs. Of the 100. 00 most affected cities worldwide more than half are in china and a 3rd in india. Pollution can be life threatening. The w. H. O. Attributes 24 percent of all deaths due to cardiovascular disease to add pollution. Every year 7000000 people die from diseases related to air pollution many of them live in poor countries women children and the infirm most affected. The United Nations wants to drastically cut the number of deaths caused by our pollution by the year 2030. This could be achieved in part through Sustainable Transportation such as more public transport and especially electric vehicles. And by significantly reducing emissions resulting from burning fossil fuels by switching to clean energy from renewable sources. Ever since we were always been encouraged to go outside. And. Get some fresh air but not anymore in new delhi for example people live in a toxic for most of the winter months the air is much worse than the upper limit of whats considered some schools in the city are trying to better the quality of their premises and claim their flight. We visited one such school. When a pollution mask is part of a Childs School uniform things must be bad. At the audience school in new delhi its compulsory to wear one. As the winter fog descends on delhi children Wearing Masks at an increasingly common sight poor air quality affect all aspects of life in. The area and its having a huge impact on the health of our students and from being the only Academic Institution we are one we are not becoming we have now having to actually think about. A deadly combination of smoke from crop burning industrial pollution and unchecked emissions has the title of the most polluted capital city in the world. School sports lessons now take place indoors. When the air quality index or. All the students feel responsibly for the younger children safety. When you are very high and it started by then the children and their pee left and then come down to your ground floor in place of going out we play our games there are also more during this time where not advised to step out of the School Building all the gates and the windows were told to stay inside where fires up as underneath. The school was installed purifiers. In all the rooms to protect against pollutants and maintain the right oxygen level indoors so class can go on as normal if you go to school when i feel jolly happy because you know theres i dont sneeze all the time and im not coughing i dont have a head bit i feel like im very comfortable here and i dont get tired very fast. The school consulted activist an entrepreneur jag before installing the purifiers. After his lungs collapsed a few years ago god does started a Company Called nirvana of being that sells pollution masks and their purifiers as an s. O. S. Measure to the egg crisis. The huge huge disease board and now were talking about years of like the last 10 years are people going belly. Is going to be shortened by 10 years you know if i dont have my mask or 10 minutes and im outdoors i start using and im back on them every one needs a quality of life i have highly highly dependent on the solutions and my business is thriving which is which also does mean that there are those that are going on these things. Cook does knowledge is that purifying indoor is only a short Term Solution and one thats affordable to a certain section of society only. Apart from his business he organizes a campaign to tackle air pollution in north india. I started a Citizens Movement called why have i complained for 5 years now i have been working with a team of people who create awareness about. Schoolchildren are an important part of the campaign and they want to make their voices heard to the authorities. For the 1st time in our daily lives and that is covered up air pollution we are you know we was the Aam Aadmi Party to make use of an Election Agenda and hopefully we have a party who will have to follow. The city and region are already facing an Environmental Crisis when the students of the school have grown up it will be their turn to find ways to improve air quality in the structurally developing country. For now theyre still learning how important the environment is. Singing songs about planting trees and making their city green again. Recurring every year the stubble bombing by farmers in north india is a major cause for air pollution affecting some of the biggest cities in india its clear that the banning and final solution is not quite working Creative Solutions for farmers are in high demand and the indian startup is working with farmers on the outskirts of delhi to reimagine the agro east lets see how. Winter is coming and the farmers of a small village in sunny perth just spotty kilometers from new delhi are busy planting new crops. d at the end of the paddy harvest every year farmers in the northern states of job often burn the crops that is left behind. Are severely limited by hand. It would take around 8 to 10 hours per day and there would be high labor costs of the process is very time consuming. 20000000. 00 tons of agricultural waste is burnt during this period causing a severe worsening of equality in the region. Our eyes were becoming really watery there were problems in a building and there was a lot of noise around us noisier than a lot of people were going aboard stubble burning and pollution causing so report really really im going to present to learn their canard really how were going to watch them. While you can hardly do something about the crops. Video actually worn and called english. Korea labs was set up by uncle kumar. And. In 2014. Incubated at the Indian Institute of technology in delhi korea labs is working with farmers in how they are now and punjab to make crop residue profitable and prevent it from being burnt the startup has developed the technology to manufacture tableware like plates and bowls from the crops which in its original form has no market value the end product is eco friendly and cheaper than its plastic counterparts. After collecting that a straw from the fields has to be job done and small pieces and then it. Is the main where it will be washed. That comes along with it will be washed over. So far the founders are doing most of the work on their own. Clean the rice straw the use a normal washing machine. Some chemicals added in order to loosen the fibers. Then the rice straw esteemed and turned into a pieced. The founders call the beast. This is what gets processed into table with. Korea labs is working on another innovation to decentralize operations and manufacturing and put the onus on farmers to recycle the crop arrestees. Our model is basically that. Machine will sell those small manufacturing owners who arent interested on the panels so there are people who have 1000000. 00 going to farms and theyre willing enough to spend money. So the Business Model manufacturing which will provide to them and whatever follow the news out of the real buy back. Korea labs innovation could be one solution to the air pollution problem in india. Every one of us has a cup of tea daily which is made from a now if. You can exactly call it the market and the supply side of it so our technology. Will actually connect the. Dots to do. And provide monetary compensation to the farmers as well. If the technology is adopted on a large scale 20000000. 00 tons of you could be turned into eco friendly plates and bowls. Engineers and scientists around the world coming up with Creative Solutions on how to. Clean out more frequently some of them are almost artistic and some get inspired by nature. Bubbling currents of water with micro algae spirulina swirling around in it. This was the urban audi folliot expo milan 2015 designed by the italian architects Marco Paoletti and cloudier per square of. The hollow structure was home to countless micro which function as photosynthesis machines they absorb c o 2 from the atmosphere and oxygenate the air in return the same team also collaborated on this curtain installation at the climate Innovation Summit in dublin last year each model captures about a kilo of c o 2 per day doing the work of 20 large trees dirty city air enters at the bottom and comes at contact with the alkie that store c o 2 molecules and air pollutants freshly photosynthesize oxygen is released at the top of the facade into the air. Researchers at Oxford University have discovered that spiders web covered in a glue that attracts and keeps hold of electrically charged particles in the air. This could form the basis for a new technology to tackle air pollution. This 7 metre construction smog free tower by the social design lab of dutch artist and innovator dan rosegarden cleans the air around it it uses positive Ionization Technology to capture fine dust and transform it into course dust. It cleans 30000 cubic meters of air power and uses a modest amount of green electricity. It provides a local solution for clean air in a radius of about 60 meters in public spaces. Towers have been tested in poland and china as well as the netherlands. Regulating traffic is one essential solution to improve air quality in most cities the expansion of the board system has not quite kept up with the growing amount of traffic in the city of hamburg germany smog be talked equality is now being used to regularly and control the traffic in order to avoid congestion and to improve quality in a sustainable manner. As our cities become increasingly congested with more and more people on the move governments have to come up with new solutions to improve traffic flow and these days theyre digital this brand new software is helping hamburg to improve the coordination of its construction sites. Were very pleased weve had some astonishing results. The programmers very intuitive its very similar to a smartphone or tablet anyone can use it its very on problematic and i was seeing a big improvement in coordination. This software shows where a construction site is planned if it looks like the plans will cause traffic snarl ups building what can be postponed or opened with other projects. Beefed up for a lesson. In hamburg traffic lights and signals are already coordinated digitally with technology that optimizes signal timing to create a succession of green lights the city buses the Traffic ControlCenter Software shows how best to keep the rest of the traffic flowing in the mornings there are lots more cars and motorbikes heading into the city as opposed to out of it so signals a program to optimize traffic in that direction of the wish i did. Talk to me a. Hamburger is a pioneer in the field of Smart Mobility in 2021 the city will be hosting the Intelligent Transport SystemsWorld Congress over the next few years the local author of these will be taking action to ensure residents spend as little time as possible stuck in traffic as would be the main focus is communication between traffic lights and cars signaling to motorists when lights are green before the green wave concept will be replaced by a system providing information on traffic lights including a cross roads so that approaching cars dont have to stop and start in france for. The most dependable way to avoid traffic jams is by rail. Those who dont have a station on their doorstep can travel to and from one with 4 wheels. On. Hamburgs overhead rail system is also linked up to car sharing schemes. Is a good moment and i theres an app for hamburg that shows what public transport options are available where the nearest car sharing station is the nearest underground station overground station and the distances between them. Have been and outsourcing influenced and we want to create a platform where the entire process is seen to from leasing on to registering and paying. A complex big income. The inhabitants of big cities need to be able to move about efficiently and also get along together. At the hamburg hafen City University researchers have developed digital models to analyze behavior patterns such as where people tend to congregate. New hope 1st of all we research how public squares work we track people who are out walking their dogs shopping hanging out to see how Public Places function and then we collaborate with companies in other Research Institutes who also have an interest in Public Places working well and attracting people to know that theyve got a dog and are often. Building contractors can there foresee if their projects meet criteria and compare potential sites in terms of advantages and disadvantages proximity to a Research Institute or an airport for example digitalisation give city dwellers new opportunities to enhance the urban experience. Did you ever think there would be talking about our planet being unlivable because of bad air after all one of the biggest reasons the earth is habitable is because we have just the right ingredients to make up in that most fear that can sustain life i hope youre able to keep a death wish for a long long time with that part its goodbye well be back next week thank you for watching.
