Delhi is one of the world’s most polluted cities in part due to problematic waste-to-energy plants like the one in Okhla. Investigations reveal the release of toxic heavy metals such as cadmium and lead. This poses a serious risk to indoor air quality, especially in buildings with poor ventilation or filtration. This article explores how building technology and clean air strategies can help protect occupants from hidden pollution.

More than 6 million people in Jakarta, Indonesia, were treated for acute respiratory infections (ARI) in the first half of 2024 alone, according to government data reported by Anadolu Agency. As air quality continues to deteriorate, the Indonesian government warns of a growing public health emergency in the capital and surrounding areas.

Tyres are the invisible polluters of modern mobility. While engines are becoming quieter and exhaust gases cleaner, one major environmental burden remains largely overlooked: tyre wear. That is now changing. At both the European and global levels.

Just a few years ago, Rajshahi was known as a “green city.” Local authorities had implemented progressive transport planning, protected green spaces, and promoted environmental awareness. The city boasted some of the best air quality in the country.

The shift toward electric mobility marks a major step in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. However, with this technological progress comes a new and often underestimated challenge: the increasing burden of non-exhaust emissions, particularly from tire wear. Fine dust generated on the roads does not remain outside. It penetrates buildings, workplaces, and indoor environments where it poses a significant health risk.
