Career

Dr.Sainudeen Pattazhy has got a special interest in environmental issues. He heads the Kerala Environmental Researchers Association (KERA). He discovered the cause of red rain and studied the health hazards of mobile phone towers; and soft drinks like colo, pepsi etc; eco-biology of sacred groves; and environmental effects of sand, rock, clay mining, plastic and pesticide pollution. He also invented a new biological method to control mosquitoes. His suggestions on health hazards are still pending with the Union Ministry of Environment, India. The telecommunication department in Kerala has constituted a committee to study health hazards and suggest measures in the light of his research works.

Sainudeen Pattazhy became popular for his study on the red rain phenomenon in Kerala in recent years, particularly 2001. His research proved that the red colour of the rains were due to a geological process and had nothing to do with alien life. "Regarding red rain, there was an argument that it was alien presence. But that’s just like science fiction. During 2001-02, peculiar geological situation was prevailing in Kerala like caving in of wells and landslides," he added.

He has got published 200 research papers in different national and international journals, including those in the USA, UK and Australia. He has been honoured by several Indian, British and American awards for his contributions to environmental science.

^ Minor planets represent material left over from the formation of solar system, most likely never coalesced into a planet because of Jupiter's gravitational influence. There are about 400,000 minor planets or asteroids in the solar system out of which 185,685 have already been numbered by the International Astronomical Union (IAU). Around 14,000 of them have been given names. The first minor planet was discovered in 1801 and named 'Ceres' the Roman Goddess. “5178 Pattazhy”, found in 1989 and named in 2008.
