Pesticide industry body loses defamation case against CSE, twice

How emissions-intensive are our industries?
A note on CSE’s latest report, Challenge of the New Balance
This book is based on the latest study of the six most energy/emissions-intensive sectors of India, undertaken by CSE's elite Green Rating Project team, to determine India's low carbon growth options. The sectors covered were: Power, Steel, Aluminium, Cement, Fertilizer and Paper & Pulp. These six sectors were covered as they accounted for an estimated 61.5% of total greenhouse gas emissions in India, excluding emissions from agriculture and waste. Their energy profile is no less intensive.

Hand to mouth |
Delhi NGO Centre for Science and Environment tested 24 toy samples of major brands for the presence of phthalates. In October 2008, it randomly purchased toy samples from markets in Delhi. Fifteen were soft toys and nine hard toys made in four countries. Tests showed all samples contained one or more phthalates— DEHP, DINP, DBP ( di-n-butyl phthalate) and BBP (benzyl butyl phthalate), all harmful—in varying concentrations.
