“…Globally air pollution has been proven to be a major health risk responsible for 3.7 million premature deaths and fourth-ranked in terms of risk factors in premature mortality in 2019 according to the most recent Global Burden of Diseases Study (Jin et al 2022 ) and affecting human health at multiple levels (Ding et al 2019 ). Just like ambient air quality, indoor air quality is equally important; however, it is often neglected.…”

This study was commenced to evaluate the indoor and outdoor air quality concentrations of PM 2.5 , sub-micron particles (PM >2.5 , PM 1.0–2.5 , PM 0.50 –1.0 , PM 0.25–0.50 , and PM <0.25 ), heavy metals, and microbial contaminants along with their identification in three different hospitals of Lucknow City. The study was conducted from February 2022 to April 2022 in hospitals situated in the commercial, residential, and industrial belts of the city. The indoor concentration trend of particulate matter as observed during the study suggested that most of the highest concentrations belonged to the hospital situated in an industrial area. The highest obtained indoor and outdoor concentrations for PM 1.0–2.5 , PM 0.50–1.0 , PM 0.25–0.50 , and PM <0.25 are 40.44 µg/m 3 , 56.08 µg/m 3 , 67.20 µg/m 3 , 74.50 µg/m 3 , 61.9 µg/m 3 , 79.3 µg/m 3 , 82.0 µg/m 3 , and 93.9 µg/m 3 , respectively, which belonged to hospital C situated in the industrial belt. However, for PM >2.5 , the highest indoor concentration obtained belonged to hospital B, i.e., 30.7 µg/m 3 , which is situated in the residential belt of the city. Regarding PM 2.5 , the highest indoor and outdoor concentrations obtained are 149.41 µg/m 3 and 227.45 µg/m 3 , which were recorded at hospital A and hospital C, respectively. The present study also observed that a high bacterial load of 1389.21 CFU/m 3 is recorded in hospital B, and the fungi load was highest in hospital C with 786.34 CFU/m 3 . Henceforth, the present study offers thorough information on the various air pollutants in a crucial indoor setting, which will further aid the researchers in the field to identify and mitigate the same more precisely.

“…Qin et al found that PM 2.5 exposure increased HR and BP reversibly and evoked cardiac systolic dysfunction in aged mice . However, several experimental studies show different responses and biological mechanisms to PM 2.5 exposure, and the differences might be attributed to its complex components, the duration of exposure, and the different stages of disease progression . For example, Su and Hu et al found that PM 2.5 reduced SV and CO, , suggesting a different type of cardiac structural remodeling.…”

“…However, the natural CO 2 emitted into the atmosphere is naturally balanced by natural processes such as photosynthesis and the carbon cycle. In general, the natural process is disrupted as a result of anthropogenic CO 2 releases. , Recently fossil consumption has been the leading resource as fuel for transportation, coal-fired power plants, industries, and homes. The high rate of consumption of fossil fuels increases the atmospheric concentration of CO 2 …”

Global warming has emerged as a major problem for humanity in this anthropocentric period. The constantly rising amount of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) in the atmosphere has caused global warming, which has caused a series of changes in the Earth's climate and weather systems. Rapid anthropogenic activity such as industrialization and urbanization has led to increasing the CO 2 level in the environment. CO 2 is captured and utilized as the carbon source for synthesizing various value-added products through physical and chemical methods. However, the physical and chemical techniques do not provide an ecologically friendly or costeffective procedure. Some advanced innovative, environmentally friendly green methods based on photosynthesis, microbial electrosynthesis, and gas fermentation processes can help to clean the atmosphere by sequestering CO 2 and producing value-added products from CO 2 . This approach has the potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, increase productivity, and create new economic opportunities. In this review, we found that the photosynthetic process has a high capacity for CO 2 sequestration. In contrast, the microbial electrosynthesis and gas fermentation processes have a high efficiency of value-added product synthesis. These biological CO 2 sequestration technologies contribute to the sustainability of the global carbon process. However, each method has its own strengths and weaknesses, and the choice of method will depend on the specific goals and resources of a sequestration project. This report also defined the various influencing factors of photosynthetic, microbial electrosynthesis, and gas fermentation processes for optimized development of these technologies, while challenges and future directions are also discussed.
