Shocking Discovery: Biochar Could Solve India’s Air Pollution & Soil C

In a groundbreaking study, researchers have unveiled the potential of biochar as a dual solution to two of India\'s most pressing environmental challenges: air pollution and soil degradation. Biochar, a carbon-rich material produced through the pyrolysis of organic matter, has been gaining attention for its ability to improve soil health while simultaneously sequestering carbon, thereby mitigating climate change. ### The Air Pollution Crisis India is grappling with severe air quality issues, with cities like Delhi often ranking among the most polluted in the world. The primary contributors to this crisis include vehicular emissions, industrial discharges, and agricultural practices like stubble burning. These activities release a cocktail of particulate matter and harmful gases, leading to serious health problems for millions of citizens.
