MISSION EARTH, third episode of the NatPower Podcast

It may sound like something out of a science fiction novel, but experimenting with artificial rain to reduce air pollution is one of the latest initiatives taken by the Indian authorities to tackle this environmental emergency. 

The technique involves releasing chemicals into the atmosphere to create clouds and encourage precipitation, with the aim of cleaning the air of pollutants.

However, the long-term effectiveness of this technique remains uncertain, as Angelica De Vito reports. Artificial rain may temporarily reduce particulate matter and other pollutants in the air, but it does not address the main causes of pollution, such as emissions from vehicles, industry and other sources. 

Without action to reduce emissions at source, air pollution is bound to persist in India and the rest of the world. 

In the new episode of MISSIONE TERRA, Angelica De Vito and Luciano Canova take an in-depth look at the solutions that have been proposed around the world to combat air pollution, ranging from legislative measures to futuristic technologies. The episode is called ‘Air’ and, like the whole series, is produced in partnership with @natpower. The series is available for free on all listening apps, find the link in the bio to listen now!
