Speaking to ANI, Professor Sachchida Nand Tripathi, Dean of the Kotak School of Sustainability at the Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur, said, «The effect of froth on the Yamuna River is dangerous. The frequent occurrence of froth is primarily due to the large amounts of surfactants from soap, detergents, and other pollutants in untreated wastewater flowing into the river.» «After the monsoon, the stable atmosphere and rising temperatures create ideal conditions for froth formation. Later, in October, when temperatures drop, it helps stabilise the froth. However, this froth contains harmful organic matter that releases volatile gases directly into the atmosphere. The partitioning of froth also releases volatile organic gases and semi-volatile organic compounds. These organic gases become precursors to secondary organic particulate matter,» he added.
