Pollution of Environment is becoming a global concern in view of its far reaching consequences on living beings. As far as air pollution is concerned, emissions from fossil fuel based internal combustion engines are a major contributor. To address this concern, world over there is a movement to promote electric vehicles with many countries even incentivizing this transition. India has been a slow mover in this respect. For India, this paper assumes great relevance as major Indian cities have been classified as being among the topmost polluted urban centres and thereby affecting the health of its citizens. Diseases due to environmental pollution have also been on the increase. Taking note of these concerns, the Government of India has given a push for having Electric Vehicles only by 2030. This paper examines the different factors that could affect the transition to electric vehicles based on the literature available from previous studies globally and builds a conceptual model.Keywords

Arsenic album is frequently prescribed in homoeopathy for many diseases. However, its safety data is not available. Thus, the study’s purpose is to evaluate the oral toxicity of Arsenic album 6C, 30C, and 200C in rats. Arsenic album (6C, 30C, and 200C) was given at 2000 μl/kg for acute toxicity and observed for up to 14 days. For subacute toxicity, it was given for 28 days and observed for clinical signs, change in body weight and Mortality. Hematological, biochemical, organ weight and histopathological analyses were assessed. Results indicate no mortality of arsenic album in acute toxicity and LD50 is >2000 μl/kg. In the subacute toxicity study, arsenic album (200 μl/kg) did not show any significant changes in above parameters. It may be concluded that the arsenic album (6C, 30C, and 200C) is safe and produces no toxicity when administered orally for a prolonged duration at 200 μl/kg in rats.Keywords
