The aim is to find if there is any association between the presence of carcinogens in Palar-Thenpennai river basin, Tamil Nadu, and increasing spurts of cancer cases in the Palar-Thenpennai supplying northern parts of Tamil Nadu namely Chennai, Thiruvallur, Kancheepuram, Thiruvannamalai, Ranipet and Cuddalore districts. The "Lists of carcinogens with cancer site" published by the International Agency for Research on Cancer were used to identify carcinogens. The cross-sectional studies included in the study are from the year 2007 to 2022. The levels of potential carcinogens, including phosphates, nickel, lead, arsenic, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, and nitrite/nitrate, are tracked. Their levels were compared with the WHO standard limit for drinking water. The percentage of cancer cases was determined using data from the Tamil Nadu Cancer Registry Project Report 2021. The results show a strong association between contamination level and cancer prevalence in Chennai, Thiruvallur, and Kancheepuram districts. Evidence shows the presence of carcinogens in the fish samples collected in the Gadilam River in Cuddalore district meaning that the contamination has already entered into the human food chain.<#LINE#>Sydney Evans, Chris Campbell and Olga, V.

Fungi of this family are known for their diverse roles, from causing diseases in trees to possessing medicinal and nutritional significance. The research, conducted through meticulous field collection and laboratory examinations, focuses on four key species: Phellinus rimosus, Phellinus torulosus, Ganoderma applanatum, and Ganoderma lucidum. The morphological descriptions of these fungi encompass macroscopic features such as basidiocarp characteristics, color variations, and structural details, as well as microscopic elements including hyphal systems, basidia, and basidiospores. The findings highlight the adaptability and ecological versatility of these fungi, thriving on both living and dead hardwood trees. The study emphasizes the need for continued research to uncover the intricate ecological roles of these fungi and their broader impact on forest ecosystems. Additionally, the documentation of medicinal and nutritional importance adds a layer of complexity to the understanding of these fungal species. Overall, this research contributes valuable insights into fungal diversity, serving as a resource for mycologists, ecologists, and conservationists working towards a comprehensive understanding and preservation of fungal ecosystems.<#LINE#>Singh, A.

Results of physical properties revealed that the thousand-kernel weight (g), thousand kernel volume (ml), bulk density (g/cc) and hydration capacity (g) of barnyard millet varieties were 3.18, 4.07, 0.80 and 0.50 for PRJ-1 variety and 2.75, 3.93, 0.68 and 0.52 for local cultivar. For rice varieties, the above-mentioned properties were 13.75, 9.53, 1.43 and 1.31 for Swarna variety and 11.38, 7.96, 1.42 and 1.23 for Mahsuri variety. The results on cooking quality of grains reveal that swelling power (g/g), water uptake ratio, increase in weight after cooking (%), solid loss (%), cooking time (minutes), amylose content (%) and gelatinization temperature (oC) of barnyard millet samples PRJ-1 variety and local cultivar were 2.82, 2.19, 119.6, 4.0, 13, 20.63, 75.43 and 2.81, 2.15, 115, 4.60, 13, 19.48 and 73.29, respectively. Except swelling power (g/g), water uptake ratio and cooking time, all cooking characteristics of barnyard millet samples differed significantly. The above cooking quality parameters for rice varieties Swarna and Mahsuri were 3.23, 2.26, 123.3, 3.16, 18, 21.38, 76.30 and 3.10, 2.22, 121.6, 1.85, 17, 20.03 and 75.6, respectively.<#LINE#>Singh R.K and Prasad M.

It is also grown in various other tropical areas for its ornamental and medicinal properties. The tree belongs to the family Lecythidaceae and has various regional names such as shivlingam, kailashpati, and ayahuma. The tree is characterized by its large, spherical fruits that resemble cannonballs, and its fragrant, colourful flowers that are borne in long racemes. The tree has been used in traditional medicine systems such as Ayurveda, Siddha, and Unani for treating various ailments such as gastritis, scabies, bleeding, piles, dysentery, scorpion poison, toothache, and cancer. The tree is also a source of timber, dye, and perfume. The cannonball tree is considered sacred by Hindus and Buddhists, who use its flowers for religious ceremonies and offerings. The cannonball tree has many unique features that make it stand out among other plants.<#LINE#>Narsipur Char (2023).@Did you know that Nagalinga Pushpa or Canon Ball Tree Flower, though of Amazon Valley origin, is widely grown in India and offered in Hindu worship of Shiva as its five leafed petals resemble Naga, sacred snake, protecting a Shiva Lingam.@@No$Sharma, S.

As more individuals look for cures and health approaches free from negative effects brought on by industrial medicines, from being used seldom, medicinal mushrooms are becoming more widely used. Three hundred of the approximately 38000 distinct species of mushrooms are edible, and pharmacological studies are being conducted to explore the possible health advantages. The goal of this paper is to give a thorough overview of Volvariella volvacea's culinary and therapeutic uses. A member of the Pluteaceae family, Volvariella volvacea is a common edible fungus that grows in temperate, tropical, and subtropical climates in both the eastern and western hemispheres. It has anti-tumor, immunosuppressive, and immunomodulatory actions and is commonly utilized in India's traditional medical system. It is widely recognized as a good source of Protein, Fibre (Chitin) Vitamins (including a significant amount of Vitamin C and all water soluble vitamins like Riboflavin, Biotin and Thiamine), Fats (5.7%), Carbohydrates (56.18%), unsaturated fatty acids and minerals such as Potassium, Sodium and Phosphorus. V. volvaceais a remarkable medicinal fungus, as evidenced by the myriad therapeutic benefits it possesses and by phytochemical studies.<#LINE#>Chang, S. T., & Miles, P. G.

Traditional plastic waste management methods, such as land-filling and incineration, are associated with numerous environmental issues. Therefore, alternative strategies for plastic remediation are urgently needed. Bio-remediation, is a sustainable approach that utilizes microorganisms to degrade pollutants, has gained considerable attention for plastic waste treatment. Fungi, with their diverse metabolic capabilities, have shown promising potential in the bio-remediation of plastic. This paper provides an overview of the bio-remediation process, explores the unique attributes of fungi for plastic degradation, and discusses recent advancements in fungal-mediated plastic bio-remediation.<#LINE#>Avio, C.
