Losses due to bedbugs are estimated at 60% of the production during periods of strong outbreaks in certain regions. Variations in B. thalassina populations were assessed by sampling twice a month using the sheeting technique in six cocoa producing areas. This technique consisted of spreading tarpaulins over 24 feet of cocoa trees found in an area infested with B. thalassina. Spotted and stained cocoa trees are treated in high doses with an insecticide registered on the cocoa tree (Callifan Super 40 EC). The number of B. thalassina killed was counted on tarpaulins 5hours after treatment. The B. thalassina pullulation curves revealed two periods of strong outbreaks in the six production regions. The first period extends from June to November with a population peak ranging from 9,19 ± 2,00 to 14,56 ± 2,67 and the second from December to May with a population peak of 5,26 ± 1,99 and 9,80 ± 2,98. The B. thalassina outbreak starts during the rainy periods and gradually stops with the dry periods. These results will make it possible to make recommendations as to the periods favorable to phytosanitary interventions against this pest.<#LINE#>Braudeau J.

Both these pesticides have several health impacts which include Lindane being classed as a human carcinogen and Dieldrin as a probable human carcinogen. They have also been banned in numerous countries including India due to their negative effects. Therefore, these two organochlorine compounds pose a serious threat to the well being of those who are exposed to them. One of the possible routes of exposure to these pesticides is by ingesting food products which are contaminated by them. In order to ensure that food consumed is free from any harmful contamination levels regular testing for pesticide residues is essential. In this study, samples of nine food products were collected from Iewduh Market in Shillong City, India, and were analysed for any possible contamination by Lindane and Dieldrin using Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) following standard operating procedures. From the study performed it was observed that pesticide residue levels of both Lindane and Dieldrin were Below Detectable Limit (> 0.1mg/kg) in all food samples.<#LINE#>Singh Z., Kaur J., Kaur R. and Hundal S.S.

Quality of lipstick becomes major concern because of increasing consumer number per brand of lipstick. Lately cosmetics have engrossed attention as major sources of heavy metals. Heavy metals have tendency to accumulate in different organs leading to bioaccumulation, which creates various health complications. The present study encompasses determination of heavy metal concentration in lipsticks used by the women at VIVA College, Virar-Maharashtra. Five brands of lipsticks were shortlisted from survey done at College. The lipsticks purchased from market were analysed to detect presence of heavy metals such as Lead, Copper, Cadmium, Nickel, Chromium and Zinc. Lead and Cadmium were not detected in any Lipstick. Copper, Chromium, Zinc and Nickel were detected in all lipsticks but concentration levels were below the permissible limits. However, role of a consumer is most vital to keep check on the use of lipsticks on daily basis or choose product wisely to minimize exposure to heavy metals.<#LINE#>Reed S.
