Founder & Editorial Lead, GreenGlobe25
Background and Area of Work
Soumen focuses on studying Indian air quality systems using publicly available datasets, institutional reports, and scientific literature. His work involves analyzing how air pollution is measured, reported, and interpreted across different cities and regions.
He regularly examines:
- CPCB monitoring frameworks and AQI reporting methodology
- Continuous Ambient Air Quality Monitoring Systems (CAAQMS)
- Criteria pollutants including PM₂.₅, PM₁₀, NO₂, SO₂, O₃, and CO
- Pollution sources and emission trends discussed in scientific studies
Purpose of GreenGlobe25
GreenGlobe25 was created to address a key gap in environmental communication. While large volumes of air quality data are publicly available in India, they are often difficult to interpret without technical context.
The platform aims to make this information clearer by focusing on structure, explanation, and real-world interpretation of environmental data systems.
Editorial Approach
Content on GreenGlobe25 is developed using institutionally verified and publicly accessible sources, including:
- Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), Government of India
- World Health Organization (WHO) air quality guidelines
- Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEFCC)
- Peer-reviewed environmental and epidemiological studies
All articles are written and reviewed with an emphasis on clarity, factual accuracy, and responsible interpretation of scientific information.
Scope of Content
The platform primarily publishes structured explainers on:
- Air Quality Index (AQI) calculation and interpretation
- Ambient air monitoring systems and reporting methods
- Pollution sources and environmental data trends
- Health-related findings reported in scientific literature
