The environmental cost of Sea Links & Coastal Roads in India
With every passing year, more and more cars are being added to India s metro cities which already have more vehicles on the road than they were designed for. Let s take the example of Mumbai. In 2018-19, 3 lakh new cars were added to Mumbai s roads which translates to 820 cars every day.
In my honest opinion, there is only one solution to our traffic woes = Building a robust and efficient public transport system (and of course, WFH which Covid has taught us
). You simply cannot outrun the massive growth in car sales with sea link projects which come at a HUGE environmental cost. Just look at the pictures below and how these projects are destroying the ecosystem. When the Bandra Reclamation road was constructed, the beach in the Shivaji Park area considerably reduced in size. Perhaps in some correlated way, sea water flooding has increased in the residential lanes adjoining the beach. This is most visible in the areas b

Circulating tumor cells (CTC) are rare cells shed from a solid tumor or metastases that circulate through the bloodstream. Detection of CTC poses a challenge because they are present at extremely low concentrations, as few as a couple CTC in several milliliters of blood, which contain up to 3 to 6 million cells per mL. To determine the sensitivity and accuracy of rare cell detection on the Agilent NovoCyte Quanteon flow cytometer, a tumor cell spiking assay was used in which a small number of cells from a tumor cell line was added to whole blood and detected by a cell surface stain.
