Founder & Editorial Lead, GreenGlobe25
Soumen Chakraborty is the founder and editorial lead of GreenGlobe25, an independent educational platform focused on explaining air pollution systems, environmental monitoring, and regulatory frameworks in India.
His work centers on translating complex environmental data—such as Air Quality Index (AQI) systems, CPCB monitoring networks, and publicly available pollution datasets—into structured, accessible explanations for general readers.
His objective is to help readers understand not only what environmental data shows, but also how it is generated, interpreted, and applied in the Indian context.

Founder & Editorial Lead, GreenGlobe25
Background
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.
Research Focus
- CPCB monitoring frameworks and AQI methodology
- Continuous Ambient Air Quality Monitoring Systems (CAAQMS)
- Criteria pollutants including PM₂.₅, PM₁₀, NO₂, SO₂, O₃, and CO
- Pollution sources, emission trends, and environmental datasets
- Scientific communication and environmental interpretation
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 published on GreenGlobe25 is developed through a structured editorial process that prioritizes scientific accuracy, contextual relevance, and responsible environmental communication. Educational content is prepared 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 literature
Where appropriate, individual articles include direct references to government publications, scientific literature, and technical guidance used during content development.
Every article is editorially reviewed before publication to improve factual consistency, clarity, and the accurate interpretation of environmental information.
The objective of this editorial process is to present complex environmental concepts in a manner that is accurate, understandable, and educational for a broad audience.
