Study warns of chemical pollution threat to endangered Gangetic dolphins

Study warns of chemical pollution threat to endangered Gangetic dolphins

Published by Webster

A recent study published in the journal ‘Heliyon’ by the Wildlife Institute of India reveals that Gangetic dolphins are being exposed to harmful endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) through their diet. Researchers assessed the dietary risk from 39 EDCs present in fish species commonly consumed by these freshwater mammals. The study found significant bioaccumulation of industrial chemicals like di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) and di-n-butyl phthalate (DnBP) in the dolphins’ prey. Additionally, traces of banned pesticides such as DDT and Lindane (γ-HCH) were detected, highlighting weak enforcement of environmental laws in the Ganga basin. The Gangetic dolphin population has dropped by over 50 per cent since 1957, and their habitat range has decreased by nearly 25 per cent, despite their status as India’s national aquatic animal. With only five species of river dolphins remaining worldwide, the study warned that India could risk a repeat of the Yangtze River tragedy, where a similar species went extinct due to unchecked human activities. The study identifies multiple sources of chemical contamination affecting Gangetic dolphins, including agricultural runoff, untreated effluents from the textile …

Dolphins Bar Gets a New Lease on Life

Published by Webster

Kabir Husain, a physics professor currently living in London, and previously a Cooke Town resident, was a Dolphins regular. He remembers taking the railway overpass to reach Dolphins’ for endless plates of black pepper pork dry, washed down with mugs of chilled beer. He recalls a particularly riveting evening with beer-brewer buddies watching a bewildered cow trying to navigate the flyover at night. Hollis Coats, a brewer, simplifies it. “It’s closest to home.” But this brevity belies his regular attendance and love for the silverfish fry. “I’ve spent glorious days there, drinking white rum and eating prawn chilli fry. In those days, it was a dark, unpretentious dive; only men, noisy but nice. It was super cheap, great for end-of-the-month activities when I had no auto fare but drinkages were calling,” says Arul Mani, quizzer and English professor, who discovered Dolphins in the 90s. And then, in the 2000s, it changed. “There were more family units, very uncomfortable furniture, brightly-lit but straitlaced,” and he never went back. “We approached this place as patrons. We wanted …
