New Delhi: Nearly a billion people who depend on the Indus, Ganga and Brahmaputra river basins for life and livelihood are threatened by the impact of global warming in the Himalaya-Karakoram mountains. Melting snow and glaciers will swell the rivers, but changed seasonality will affect farming, other livelihoods and the hydropower sector, while causing floods downstream, a new multinational
New Delhi: A new study conducted by experts from IIT-Delhi and Ashoka University says that exposure to extremely high levels of biomass burning early in life can affect the height of adolescents in the country.
The study, which has been published in ‘Resource and Energy Economics’, stated that that high-intensity biomass burning is associated with lower adolescent height for teenage girls in India. “We find that girls who were exposed to extremely high levels of biomass burning during their early life have lower height by −1.07 cm or a decrease of 0.7 percent,” said the study. “The underlying non-pollution mechanisms at play suggest reduced labor supply, reduced consumption of food items like milk and cereals and increased sickness in the households as revealed by higher medical expenditures in response to an increase in fire-activity.”
Nearly a billion people who depend on the Indus, Ganga and Brahmaputra river basins for life and livelihood are threatened by the impact of global warming in the Himalaya-Karakoram mountains. Melting snow and glaciers will swell the rivers, but changed seasonality will affect farming, other livelihoods and the hydropower sector, while causing floods downstream, a new multinational study by researchers in Indore, Roorkee, Delhi, Bengaluru, Ahmedabad and Nepal, among others, has found. In India, the Union territories of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh, the states of Himachal Pradesh and Punjab and parts of northern Haryana and Rajasthan lie within the Indus River basin. Uttarakhand, Delhi, the rest of Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand, West Bengal and large parts of Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh lie in the Ganga basin. Sikkim and Arunachal Pradesh, and most of Assam, Meghalaya and Nagaland lie within the Brahmaputra basin. The affected persons, including in the megacities of Delh
