β They improve occupant well-being and enhance property values.
πGovernment Initiatives :
β Governments worldwide are promoting HPBs through policies and financing mechanisms.
β India has made significant progress under the National Action Plan on Climate Change.
Initiatives like ECBC, GRIHA, and IGBC have encouraged sustainable construction practices.
πFinancial Incentives :
β Carbon credits and green bonds provide financial incentives for HPBs.
β These mechanisms help offset the higher upfront costs of HPBs.
β Carbon pricing in regions like the EU and China creates additional incentives.
πBenefits of HPBs :
β HPBs reduce emissions, save energy, and improve indoor air quality.

π Lake Erie
β It is the fourth largest of the five Great Lakes of North America.
β It forms the boundary between Canada(Ontario) to the north and the United States to the west, south, and east.
β The lakeβs principal tributary rivers are the Detroit (carrying the discharge of Lake Huron), Huron, and Raisin rivers of Michigan etc.
β The lake discharges at its eastern end through the Niagara River.
β It is an important link in the Lawrence Seaway.
πMicrocystin?
β It is a single-celled freshwater cyanobacterium that forms colonies surrounded by mucilage.
β The genus Microcystis contains several species which often form massive blooms and which produce toxins.
β Microcystin is a potent liver toxin and possible human carcinogen.
β It inhibits the activities of protein phosphatase-1 and protein phosphatase-2A, which leads to disruption of the cytoskeleton network and subsequent cell death.
