Environmental Pollution In Bangladesh

October 02, 2025, Outskirts of Dhaka, Bangladesh: Birds swarm over a massive dumpyard on the outskirts of Dhaka, where mountains of waste and heavy machinery dominate the landscape. The landfill, a major source of environmental pollution, threatens nearby habitats and forces birds to forage dangerously close to toxic waste. To free up space, the city authorities often resort to burning solid waste, according to garbage collectors, releasing carbon dioxide (CO₂), nitrogen compounds, ammonia, sulfides, and other hazardous gases into the air, not to mention the foul smell that envelops an area of at least three-square kilometres. Environmental experts warn that CH₄ emissions significantly contribute to global warming by trapping atmospheric heat. Furthermore, the black smoke produced from burning waste exacerbates air pollution, posing serious health risks to residents. Photo by Suvra Kanti Das/ABACAPRESS.COM

NASA’s Juno Mission Captures Lightning On Jupiter

Handout - An incredible picture shows lightning on Jupiter. In a vortex near the planet’s north pole, NASA’s Juno space probe mission observed the glow from a bolt of lightning. NASA explain: "On Earth, lightning bolts originate from water clouds, and happen most frequently near the equator, while on Jupiter lightning likely also occurs in clouds containing an ammonia-water solution, and can be seen most often near the poles. In the coming months, Juno’s orbits will repeatedly take it close to Jupiter as the spacecraft passes over the giant planet’s night side, which will provide even more opportunities for Juno’s suite of science instruments to catch lightning in the act." Juno captured the view as it completed its 31st close flyby of Jupiter on Dec. 30, 2020. In this newly released picture, Kevin M. Gill, a software engineer at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, has processed raw data from the JunoCam instrument aboard the spacecraft. At the time the raw image was taken, Juno was about 19,900 miles (32,000 k

In Mazingarbe, a small town near Lens, Pas-de-Calais, the Madrid-based management of Maxam Tan, a Seveso-classified site, has deserted the company, which is located on a 160-hectare site, and abandoned its seventy-four employees. The latter, while awaiting the judicial liquidation decided by the commercial court of the European Metropolis of Lille on 13 April, are now the only ones to ensure the safety of the ammonitrate (nitrogen fertiliser) factory. This ammonia tank, still filled with 750 tonnes of product, must be emptied according to a strict protocol that only the Mazingarbe employees have mastered.

A sign reading "Seveso law" is seen in front of a part of Vynova factory, on April 1st, 2021, Mazingarbe, France. In Mazingarbe, a small town near Lens, Pas-de-Calais, the Madrid-based management of Maxam Tan, a Seveso-classified site, has deserted the company, which is located on a 160-hectare site, and abandoned its seventy-four employees. The latter, while awaiting the judicial liquidation decided by the commercial court of the European Metropolis of Lille on 13 April, are now the only ones to ensure the safety of the ammonitrate (nitrogen fertiliser) factory. This ammonia tank, still filled with 750 tonnes of product, must be emptied according to a strict protocol that only the Mazingarbe employees have mastered.
