All statements made by him shall be deemed to have been made in his personal capacity.” Office-bearers in the JD(U) are …

Most Delhi STPs fail pollution norms despite high treatment capacity, DPCC finds

Most Delhi STPs fail pollution norms despite high treatment capacity, DPCC finds

Published by Parlour News

The Delhi government maintains that its sewage treatment plants (STPs) are operating at more than 88% capacity, suggesting most wastewater is being processed. Yet, analysis by the Delhi Pollution Control Committee (DPCC) paints a different picture: water discharged from the city’s plants continues to fall short of national quality norms. Of 17 drains carrying treated effluent, 16 showed pollutant levels above permissible limits. Tests revealed breaches across key parameters — pH, total suspended solids (TSS), chemical oxygen demand (COD), and biological oxygen demand (BOD). Elevated BOD, for example, reflects organic waste that depletes dissolved oxygen, threatening aquatic life. DPCC’s October report recorded severe exceedances, with BOD reaching 145 mg/l in the Sahibabad drain, 110 mg/l in Shahdara, and 60 mg/l in Najafgarh. COD levels also overshot safe limits, peaking at 296 mg/l in Shahdara and 152 mg/l in Najafgarh, compared with 50 mg/l standards. “Such high values, especially in a non-lean month, indicate that large amounts of untreated or poorly treated sewage are entering these drains, carrying organic waste and chemicals that the treatment system …

Kuxiu’s solid-state power bank now has more capacity and faster wireless charging

Kuxiu’s solid-state power bank now has more capacity and faster wireless charging

Published by Webster

Seven months after launching its first semi-solid state battery that used a safer and longer-lasting solid-liquid mixed electrolyte, Kuxiu is introducing a new version with some welcome upgrades. The S3 has twice the capacity of the S2 at 10,000mAh – 5,000mAh at 7.7V (38.5Wh) – that the company says is enough to nearly double an iPhone’s battery life, but that will vary depending on the model. The Kuxiu S3 is also Qi2.2-compatible so it can wirelessly charge compatible devices at up to 25W. Its larger battery means it’s over 100g heavier than the 145g S2, but Kuxiu has increased the number of N52 magnets it uses from 16 to 18 to help reduce the risk of the power bank being accidentally knocked off your phone. There’s an integrated kickstand now on the back, a small display showing its remaining capacity and charging status, and a built-in cable for charging other devices through a USB-C port with power delivery rated at up to 35W. As with the previous model, the S3 is more expensive than traditional …
