Air Pollution: Layer Of Smog Starts To Envelop Kathmandu With Onset Of Winter
Smoke billows from a residential area in Kathmandu, Nepal, on October 17, 2025, as a thin layer of smog shrouds the atmosphere of the bowl-shaped valley, with the Air Quality Index measuring above 100. The average readings of Kathmandu's pollution exceed annual average concentrations of PM2.5 of 5 ug/m3, while 24-hour average exposures should not exceed 15 ug/m3 more than 3 to 4 days per year, as prescribed by the World Health Organization. PM2.5 refers to particulate matter (solid or liquid droplets) in the air less than 2.5 micrometres in diameter. It is among the most dangerous pollutants that can get past the nose and throat to penetrate the lungs and even the bloodstream. PM2.5 particles are small and are also likely to stay suspended in the air for long, increasing the chances of people inhaling them. According to Nepal's Environmental Protection Agency's air quality index, an air quality reading of 151-200 is considered unhealthy, causing everyone to experience problems and sensitive groups to feel more severe effects. When air quality reaches 201-300, it is considered a very unhealthy level, and health risks increase for everyone in the area. When it crosses 300, it becomes hazardous, meaning that the air is of extremely poor quality and poses serious health risks to everyone. (Photo by Subaas Shrestha/NurPhoto) -

Dangerous Business Of Burning Aluminum Foil
September 8, 2025, Dhaka, Bangladesh: Recycling workers endure hazardous conditions to extract reusable materials from aluminum foil. This process involves burning foil collected from industrial and domestic waste streams in makeshift chimneys. The practice, while providing a livelihood for the workers, poses significant risks to both human health and the environment due to toxic emissions and the absence of safety measures.

Un robot à roues équipé d'une intelligence artificielle prêt à accomplir des tâches dangereuses
Picture MUST credit: RoboForce A heavy duty AI-equipped robot designed to fill labour shortages and work in harsh outdoor conditions and hazardous tasks is set to be deployed this year. The heavy, all-terrain wheeled RF-04 has been created by US startup RoboForce which recently got $10 million funding. The US company says the robot, equipped with two manipulating arms, is capable of 1 mm-level accuracy in performing fine motor skills like picking, placing, pressing, twisting, and connecting. It is also said to offer all-terrain mobility, learning, communication, and safety compliance capabilities. The bot is able communicate, follow safety rules, and learn with its self-evolving spatial artificial intelligence copilot system, The company said it aims to begin deploying its system this year with early customers. Californian RoboForce’s target industries include solar power installations, space, manufacturing, and mining. These are sectors the U.S. Bureau of Labor said are among the most impacted by injuries and loss of labor partly because of high summer temperatures and “other work-related hazards.” Picture supplied by JLPPA

Icelandic surfers fear port development will ruin 'perfect point break'
Volcanoes, northern lights and midnight sun are all on offer at this haven, which locals want to preserve.
Despite air and water temperatures in the single digits, two surfers and a couple of seals delight in the conditions at Þorlákshöfn in south-west Iceland.
This spot, where surfers can enjoy either the midnight sun or the northern lights depending on the time of year, has in recent years become the heart of Iceland's rapidly growing surfing community.
As well as being one of Iceland's only accessible point breaks (when wave swell strikes a point of land), it boasts unique scenery - the backdrop features several volcanoes - and consistently good waves. With its close proximity to Reykjavík, it has become a destination for locals, professionals and tourists alike.
