Science : Silent Hypoxia

Silent Hypoxia

Hypoxia : Hypoxia is a condition in which the body or a region of the body is deprived of adequate oxygen supply at the tissue level. It can affect whole body or a part of body.

Silent Hypoxia : A person’s oxygen level in blood cells and tissue can drop without any initial warning. In cases of silent hypoxia of COVID-19 patients they did not experience shortness of breath or coughing until their oxygen levels had plummeted to such a degree that the patients risked acute respiratory distress (ARDS) and organ failure.

Normally partial pressure on Oxygen in arterial blood is around 75-100 mmHg.Measuring oxygen level in blood from Pulse oximeter normally reading comes to around 90-100%.

Detection of this type of Hypoxia is difficult therefore it is called Silent Hypoxia / Happy Hypoxia

[GS3][Env and Eco] World Culture Festival NGT order, defiance, outcome

Issues 

Violations  : Yamuna floodplains destruction

• NGT has set up a committee : Report submitted by committee (government officials) including Secretary of Water Resource Department ,IIT professor and other experts : recommended 100-120 Crores fines should be imposed.
• NGT fines 5 crore which should be paid in a week : Order on 10 Mar 2016 but event can continue.
• Prima facie : Due to fine it looks some violation has been made.

Army deployed to build bridge for private event

• Legal part : Army can be deployed in : 
• to maintain law and order 
• in case of natural calamities
• maintain of essential services
• any other type of assistant which may be needed by civil authority.Therefore civil authority should decide whether to include army or not.
• If work is demeaning ,army can refuse the request.
• But in this case , building bridges using indigenous equipment can help in training. 

Criticism : 

• Safety rules also violated : Fire , People , structural , general security , environmental etc
• With that type of mega event only 5 crore is fined and that too when not paid ,asked offender to pay 25 lakh and rest in 3 weeks : Big mockery to NGT .
• NGT showed lack of legal will in case of big offenders. 
• No one commented that how much ecology can be restored ?
• Wrong Message can be deciphered: Powerful people , people patronage to government can easily violate environmental laws.
• Promoting extravaganza in the name of culture.

Facts : 

• Kumbh Mela is government Event.
• Ministry of Culture granted 2.5 crore to this event
