CLEAN SEA PROGRAMME
• ‘Clean Sea Programme’ is a Sweden-led initiative to reduce littering of marine ecosystems.
New system to measure air quality
• India is tying up with the United States and Finland to develop a pollution-forecast system.
• It will help anticipate particulate matter (PM) levels at least two days in advance and at a greater resolution than what is possible now.
• At present, the Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology (IITM), Pune, serves as the apex forecaster of pollution trends in Delhi, Mumbai, Pune and Ahmedabad.
• It generates a likely air quality profile, a day in advance, for these cities.
• IITM is an organisation under the Ministry of Earth Sciences (MoES).
