Nirmal Singh 3C Warns People About Places Mosquitoes Can Breed




Mosquitoes and the diseases they bring cause a lot of deaths in India. They are one of the most troublesome menaces that monsoon and rains bring in the country. The problem is more severe in places that are greener and have the possibility of water getting stagnant.

Bengal, North East, Tamil Nadu and Maharashtra are considered to have an environment that is favorable for breeding of mosquitoes. Areas that have poor drainage system and where water can stay stagnant also allow the mosquitoes to multiply.

What most people do not know is that mosquitoes can also multiply and breed in our homes if we aren’t careful. There are many places in our own homes that can have mosquitoes multiplying rapidly which can eventually cause severe health issues.

Nirmal Singh 3C has revealed some lesser known places where mosquitoes can easily bread in our homes and the remedies and precautions we can take to minimize the breeding and health issues.

       Flower pots

Plotted plants in balconies are a source of fresh air and are also considered a good alternative for fresh, unpolluted air. But the excess water that trickles down the pots and gets accumulated in the trays can cause heavy mosquito breeding, especially if that water is left unattended for weeks and the tray is not replaced or drained properly.

Cleaning and draining the trays regularly or not using the trays at all can reduce mosquito breeding.

2    Air Coolers

Air coolers are a necessity, especially in rural and less developed areas and cities in India. Even after being used frequently during the summer, people ignore the fact that these coolers require regular cleaning. The unreachable and dark quarters of the coolers can accumulate water if you are not careful enough – perfect situation for mosquitoes to breed. - Nirmal Singh 3C

We can prevent female mosquitoes from laying eggs in air coolers by regularly cleaning the water, putting the mesh in the sun whenever possible, changing the water once every three or four days, adding camphor balls in the water, and by keeping the coolers dry during the winters or when they are not in use.

Nirmal Singh 3C finds an interesting study that says a child forms a strange dislike to the vegetables which indeed has nothing to do with their parents. According to a new study, due to genetic mutations, youngsters try new foods while many other are fussy eaters. Nirmal Singh 3C thinks that this study will help in paving way for children who are fighting with childhood obesity epidemic.  According to a new research in the US, DNA is linked with the kind of taste a toddler would develop which is why they are fussy about their eating habits which is why they develop a bitter taste at the age of four. Nirmal Singh 3C would like to get specific with the names, as TAS2R38 is associated with dietary variety other called CA6 that puts a child out of control during mealtimes. People generally blame parents for children being fussy about their food habits, however that is not the case, as it is a matter of nature and not nurture. This was further corroborated by Natasha Cole

As of now, we have had heard much about the physical problems caused by the pollution but no one really knows what wrong it is doing to the brains. Nirmal Singh 3C would like to enlighten the people about memory loss. Pollution clearly reduces our memory and exposes us to particulate matter, fine inhalable particles of diameters of 2.5 micrometres or less as well as carbon, the prime source of pollutant caused due to traffic. Nirmal Singh 3C prepares a list of reasons behind these adverse effects on the children: Because children have small lung capacity and higher respiratory rate, they are comparatively more vulnerable  According to a study published in the journal Environmental Pollution, as many as 1,200 children aged from 7 to 10, from 39 schools walked to school on a daily basis in Barcelona.
