air pollution with surprisingly simple ideas the. next move. in the eye of climate change. because. what's in store. for the future. comes pretty major cities. inside. turkey. inhale. and exhale it's. pick of the bricked. half of the oxygen on earth is produced by teens they use the energy from sunlight

to meet new course from carbon dioxide and water fish the edge is a basic need but nowadays it's become a privilege how can we change that that's what we find up to be on equal india hello welcome i'm sunk that quick. dissidents are exposed to traffic and industrial fumes people in rural areas lives at risk because of for basic everyday activities cooking a social enterprise in india is experimented with introducing clean up cooking stores to households. let's take a look at the impact this has had. you know in this cramped kitchen shugart is making progress for her family of 6 she's using a traditional cooking stall

a juno which blows out clouds of smoke. on the market it's a new it's called the use of. we don't have an alternative look at the markets people have cooked with to last for generations is their business if we don't have the money to buy better fuel. if we did we might be able to use another kind of story like i guess what is. in google india over 77 percent of households still use 5 cheap and easy to access liquid petroleum gas or l.p.g. is a privilege reserved for the. google with open fire means long hours to spend a hot stove breathing in kerosene fumes and smoke from food and. collecting food is a burden on the environment and a strenuous stuff for them and. lucky that the lambs have to go far into the

forest to collect wood sometimes very far sometimes we don't have to go so far because of the vote with an axe tight the pieces together and carry it home on our heads from work or later the couple to get a one room. it usually takes about one or 2 hours the would last about 8 days sometimes it only lasts 5 or 6 states. on a number jim and then you have spend $300.00 m. somebody 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. traditional stoves are the main source of the problem and of him and young children are the versed affected. stoves are so inefficient that divest up to 90 percent of the energy generated and require up to one 3rd of the family's income for a few then also to sponsible for a quarter of the world's black carbon emissions. a social enterprise has been working to tackle the problem of energy poverty and the role for india has developed and a fusion thermal cookstove it uses void but around 60 percent less than a traditional stove 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 of government equip set up enough. that you have had the project for 3 years and vietnam has seen its benefits but not possible incentives improving they save a lot of time in the news in this time of life and i love that in the paddock and ted benefit is stacked in even a joint prone area and fewer trees are being chopped down. this has a huge positive impact the more i thought of her the love. who lives in the village neighboring shrug made the switch with the help of a community led micro-finance group many like her can't afford even the subsidized cost of 30 euros and need financial help.

much because what there is there was that when we used to need more than 10 kilos of wood now we need only 5 and cooking takes half the time used to take care is this like they had to do like there's a lot of. doctors still struggles with health issues resulting from a smoke inhalation she can't afford to buy one of the new stewards. beauregard's are cut by ice burn the water continuously the older i get the less i can see i have frequent bouts of called and called my neck and back hard from the piles of food i have to carry there was any. like showed some 700000000 people in india continue to rely on solid feuds and traditional cookstove smoking and poverty remains a major problem. scientists as you

the air pollution can even damage the brain die of pollutants make changes in the brain structure so what kind of substances are present in the brain let's 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 one. trojan dioxide and sulfur dioxide. these absolute terms 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 micrometers 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 air pollution . every year 7000000 people die from diseases related to air pollution many of them live in poor countries women children and the info 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 little always been encouraged to go outside. and do one thing get some fresh air but not anymore in new delhi for example people live in a toxic his for most of the winter months the air is much worse than the upper limit of what's considered hildy some schools in the city are trying to better the quality of air in their premises and claim their flight to breed we visited one such school. when a pollution mask is part of

a child's school uniform things must be bad. here at the audio school in new delhi it's compulsory to wear one. as the winter fog descends on delhi children wearing masks are an increasingly common sight. poor air quality affects all aspects of life you know. the area so polluted and it's having a huge impact on the health of our students and from being the only academic institution we are one we are now becoming you have now having to actually think about how to see and. a deadly combination of smoke from cross burning industrial pollution and unchecked emissions has under the title of the most polluted capital city in the world. the odds school sports lessons now take place indoors. when the air quality index or

a cue is poor all the students feel responsible for the younger children safety. when being your eyes very high and it started by isabel and then the children in their pee lesson then 3 time come down to your ground floor in case of going out we play our games they are also more during this time we're not advised to step out of the school building all the gates and the windows are shot we're told to stay inside where every other fires up as underneath. the school was installed purifiers and all the rooms to protect against pollutants and maintain the right oxygen level indoors so class can go on as normal. in school i feel jolly happy because you know there's i don't sneeze all the damage i'm not coughing i don't have a head beer i feel like i'm ready comfortable here and i don't get tired very fast . this google did activist an entrepreneur. before installing the purifiers.

after his lungs collapsed a few years ago group 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. it's a huge huge business board and now we're talking about years of my last 10 years people going belly. lifespan is going to be shortened by 10 years you know if i don't have my mask on for 10 minutes and i'm outdoors i start using and i'm back on them every one needs a quality of life i highly highly dependent on the solutions and my business is thriving which is which also does mean that there are others that are depending on the solutions. book does knowledge is that purifying. apart from his business he organizes a campaign to tackle air pollution in north india. started with citizens movement called why have i complained for 5 years now i have been working with

a team of people who create awareness about it. schoolchildren are an important part of the campaign and they want to make their voices heard to the authorities. for the 1st time now on the very latest and that is coming up air pollution be a good of you was the aam aadmi party to make use of an election agenda and hopefully other parties will have to follow. the city and region ald ready 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 they're still learning how important the environment is. singing songs about planting trees and making their city green again.

recovering every year the stubble bombing by farmers in. india is a major cause for air pollution affecting some of the biggest cities in india it's 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. at the end of the paddy harvest every year farmers in the northern states of job often burn the crops that is left behind. by hand and it will take around 8 to 10 hours and they would be high labor costs

the process is very time consuming. $20000000.00 tons of agricultural waste is burnt during this period causing a severe of equality in the region. are. there are problems in building. and there was a lot of noise around us noisier than a lot of people were going aboard. so report really really is going to be. really really how we're going to mars and. why you cannot and will lose something when the crop stubble reds radio actually born in. korea labs was set up. and. in 2014.

incubated at the indian institute of technology in delhi korea labs is working with farmers in how the honor and punjab to make crop residues 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. and then it will be. treated as the main where it will be washed all the doctors that comes along with it will be was there it. is so far the founders are doing most of the work on their own to clean the rice straw the use the normal washing machine. some chemicals added in

order to loosen the fibers. then the rice straw esteemed and turned into a pieced. the founders called the beast. this is what gets processed into table where. it. is working on another innovation to decentralize operations and manufacturing and put the onus on farmers to recycle the crop rest. our model is basically that. machine will sell those small manufacturing owners who aren't interested on top knows so there are people who have medium to large scale farms and they're willing enough to spend money. so the business model. which will

provide to them and what they were out of the. we'll 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 bottle now if. you can. read the market on the supply side of it so our technology. will actually connect the. dots of you. and provide wanted to be compensation to the farmers as well. if the technology is adopted on a large scale 20000000 tons of rescue 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 here more frequently some of them are almost

artistic and some get inspired by nature. bubbling currents of water with micro our spirulina swirling around in it. this was the out before the at expo in milan 2015 designed by the italian architects marco paoletti and cloudier past squared off. 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 just doing the work of 20 large trees dirty city air enters at the bottom and comes in contact with alki that store c o 2 molecules and air pollutants freshly photosynthesize the oxygen is released at the top of the facade into the air. researchers at oxford. diversity have

discovered that spider's web covered in the 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 allowed 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 $30000.00 cubic metres 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 quality in most cities the expansion of the whole system has not quite kept up with the growing amount of traffic in the city of hamburg in germany smog beat arctic knowledge is now being used to veg you eat 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 their digital this brand new software is helping hamburg to improve the coordination of its construction sites. we're very pleased we've had some astonishing results. the program is very intuitive it's very

similar to a smartphone or tablet. anyone can use it it's very own problematic and when i was seeing a big improvement in coordination at c.s. . 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 with other projects. beefed up for a lesson. in how bad 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 control centers 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 as well frighted. to me it. is a pioneer in the field of smart mobility in 2021 the city will be hosting the

intelligent transport systems world congress over the next few years the local authorities will be taking action to ensure residents spend as little time as possible stuck in traffic is also a bit of your fertility 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 across roads. so that approaching cars don't have to stop and start in france with. the most dependable way to avoid traffic jams is by rail. those who don't have a station on their doorstep can travel to and from one with 4 wheels. hamburg's overhead rail system is also linked up to car sharing schemes. it's a good moment and i there's an app for hamburg that shows what public transport

options are available where the nearest carsharing station is the nearest underground station overground station and the distances between them. have been and outsourcing ensue constantly want to create a platform where the entire process is seen to from leasing on to registering and paying. long complex begun. to. 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 . to 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 we collaborate with companies in other research institute who also have an interest

in public places working well and attracting people to university got a dog and often. building contractors can therefore see 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 ping the would be talking about our planet being unlivable because of bad it after all one of the biggest reasons the earth is habitable is because we have just the right ingredients to make up in the most fear that can sustain life i would put a bill to keep a duck weak for a long long time with that thought it's a good bite may be back next week thank you for watching.
