“…Organic materials have the property of absorbing contaminations. Still, the efficiency and contact time may not be predictable [48], so we have to prepare the organic materials into an activated carbon source that can actively adsorb the contaminations in limited contact timings [49]. Hence, this study picks some selective natural materials which are plentily available as organic carbon source as a raw material with a small preparation in a controlled temperature to activate the carbon source as activated carbon; this activation accelerates the adsorbent capacity of the carbon source in short time duration so that contact time is comparably lesser than normal organic adsorbents [50].…”

Groundwater seems to be the most significant natural source of potable water for millions of individuals. Fluoride pollution in groundwater is a big problem in Tamil Nadu’s Dharmapuri area. According to a survey done in a school in the Dharmapuri area, dental and skeletal fluoroses afflict almost 75% of school kids. There is no proven or recommended cost-effective strategy for lowering fluoride levels in the home. This study proposes cost-effective and efficient natural treatment approaches for lowering fluoride levels. In this experiment, fluorides in groundwater are eliminated to a suitable extent utilizing natural adsorbents. Neem stem charcoal (activated carbon), neem leaves powder, dry coconut husk, coconut shell charcoal (activated carbon), and rice husk powder are natural adsorbents. The adsorbents were utilized at different concentrations until the best concentration was found. The ideal concentration removes the bulk of fluoride from groundwater and delivers adequate treatment. People could adopt this cost-effective procedure because just a few components are enough. As per the Bureau of Indian Standards, the concentration should not exceed 1.5 ppm, and it should not be lesser than 1 ppm; keeping this in mind, the neem stem charcoal which has higher efficiency in removing fluoride can be used in extensive environments, but in this selected place, it reduces the concentration even below 1 ppm, which relays below the standard level. As a result, adopting these procedures helps prevent dental and skeletal fluoroses, which is common among young people.

“…Studies on embodied carbon and carbon emission of construction materials in India are intensively taking place. The Indian infrastructure sector is associated with carbon emission, which is to be immensely optimized to control the carbon emission [7] (Naga Dheeraj Kumar Reddy Chukka, 2022). Despite the apparent simplicity of existing BIM-LCA tools, there is a lack of integration with the main BIM software, and the double-effort of design development and parallel simulations is a barrier to their implementation in the design process.…”

Building construction can result in carbon emissions that have a substantial negative influence on the environment. Studies show that 40% of global Co2 emissions each year are caused by the built environment and Cement is a widely utilized building ingredient in the construction industry, an essential part of the concrete mix. Approximately 7 % of the carbon emissions in the world are caused by cement. By substituting low-emission and sustainable building materials for those with higher carbon emissions, the building's carbon emissions can be decreased. Using materials that are long-lasting and have low embodied carbon when are sourced ethically. Reduced carbon emissions from construction materials can be achieved in large part by early decision making in AEC phases. In this paper an assessment of residential building materials impact on environment is carried by using BIM and LCA tools and difference in embodied energy is observed by optimizing the building plan

The increase of IoT devices and the emergence of smart cities have revolutionized urban development, offering numerous benefits while addressing environmental concerns. This has caused an increase in the usage of IoT frameworks, and the need for efficient architecture and standardized ontology is imminent. In this regard, we propose a distributed, multi-layered data platform architecture comprising the Data Monitoring Layer (DML), Data Storage Layer (DSL), Data Enhancement Layer (DEnL), and Data Exchange Layer (DEL). Our architecture achieves interoperability, facilitates data transfer between nodes, enables telemetry data retrieval, and ensures cross-platform and cross-device compatibility. It addresses the challenges of handling increased sensor data and user demands by providing high throughput and scalability support. We investigated Smart City Living Lab at IIIT Hyderabad an existing large-scale system deployed within a 66-acre campus. This system consists of 291 nodes. By studying this deployed system, we were able to gather valuable real-world data, allowing us to analyze the challenges and potential solutions related to data architecture. Our results show improvements of up to 41.23% in throughput and a decrease in latency by 29.19% for data insertion from the sensor nodes. The retrieval by the data client gives an increase of over 800% in both throughput and number of requests through DENL. These metrics are compared to a centralised data platform architecture. We conclude by discussing the implications of our findings and suggesting future work.
