All are sandy and highly alkaline with deficient in moisture. Red soil is very much deficient in macronutrient such as phosphorus (0.36%) and total organic carbon (TOC) (0.75%). Light brown and dark brown soils are also deficient in macronutrients contents. Micronutrients like manganese, copper and zinc are present in sufficient quantity in all three types of soils, although red soil has toxic level of manganese and copper.  Presence of toxic element like chromium and arsenic are also found in soils. Quantitative assessment of LUCs have drawn picture of degraded quality of soil, so there is immense need for the rehabilitation of damaged  soil and hence recommendations are proposed.<#LINE#>Salvati L (2013) Agriculture land -use changes and soil quality: Evaluating long term trends in rural Mediterranean Region.

<#LINE#>Attitude versus practices of the local community of Los Banos, Laguna, Philippines toward ecotourism<#LINE#>Mark Gabriel Wagan @Aguilar <#LINE#>7-13<#LINE#>2.ISCA-IRJEvS-2020-021.pdf<#LINE#>ABE International Business College-Quezon City, Philippines<#LINE#>27/4/2020<#LINE#>27/8/2020<#LINE#>The Tourism Industry plays a vital role in the global economy. In fact, it has been coined by the World Travel and Tourism Council as one of the largest employers and biggest contributors to the Global Gross Domestic Product. Alongside with this is the intensive promotion of responsible travel as the United Nations World Tourism Organization had geared towards sustainable tourism development. This study focused on ecotourism by determining the attitude and practices of the residents of the Special Science and Nature City of the Philippines, Los Banos, Laguna. The inconsistency of the peoples attitude with their practices towards ecotourism was also determined, thus, led to a conclusion on what is the reason why air and water pollution have been major problems in the Philippines. Results show that awareness towards ecotourism is evident as people were able to identify the right terms that describe ecotourism, and were able to determine the cause and effects of environmental issues. However, it has been proven that the attitude of people towards ecotourism is inconsistent with their practices as results clearly show that despite having the right attitude; people are contributors to environmental issues with their wrong habits. Nevertheless, the community has high potential to safeguard the natural beauty of the place evident to their preference between mass tourism and ecotourism destinations.<#LINE#>Tsang, W.H.

The maximum of measured GSR of magnitude 15.9 MJ/m2/day was found in April while the minimum of magnitude 8.7 MJ/m2/day was found in January. Meteorological parameters such as the temperature and their relation with the GSR were utilized for this comparative study. Temperature-based multi-variable linear empirical models were used to perform regression analysis and determine the regression coefficients. The calculated regression coefficients from these models were utilized to predict the GSR values for subsequent year. The variation in the GSR estimated from these models were compared. Variation between measured GSR and estimated GSR for 2015 was also studied for each of these models. Performance comparison of these models was carried out by employing mean bias error (MBE), relative root mean square error (RRMSE) and adjusted coefficient of determination (R2). Such study is relevant in situations where reliable data for sunshine duration is not adequately available. The Falayi model has the highest adjusted R2 value of 0.61 but the largest MBE of 14.1%. The Garcia model has least adjusted R2 value of 0.55 but least MBE of 6.6%. Both the Garcia and Chen and Li model predict similar GSR value of 12.8 and 12.5 MJ/m2/day.<#LINE#>Karanth, V. (2007).

The current paper assesses the performance of Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor (MBBR) process for primary treated dairy wastewater. MBBR is an attached growth biological treatment process technique, where suspended plastic media is used as biofilm carriers. The experimental investigation includes the characterization of dairy wastewater for parameters pH, COD, BOD, TDS and TSS. It also includes an optimization of percentage fill of biofilm carrier media from 60% to 30% in MBBR process for dairy wastewater treatment to achieve the disposal standards. It was investigated that the reduction in percentage fill of carrier media resulted out in decrease in microbial content of reactor thereby decreasing the removal efficiencies with decreased percentage fill of carrier media. 50% fill of biofilm carrier media was observed to be optimum percentage fill for achieving disposal standards. The average removal efficiencies observed at HRT of 44 hours for 50% carrier fill for the parameters COD, BOD, TDS and TSS are 92.64%, 98.69%, 17.18% and 85.77% respectively.<#LINE#>Sutar, A.

Effort has been made using the obtained nanomaterial for environmental applications as bio sorbent. Characterization of the obtained nanoparticles was done ed using X-Ray Diffraction Spectrometer (XRD), Fourier Transform Infra-Red Spectrometer (FTIR) and Raman spectroscopy. The novel nanomaterial resulted from the synthesis had organic surface molecules due to the phyco-chemicals that was confirmed through FTIR. The incorporation of the phyco-chemicals was identified from the X-ray diffraction patterns of silver nano particles. The morphology of the nanoparticles as observed from SEM was found to be smooth, spherical,and homogeneously distributed of size around 20 nm, also confirmed through TEM.Adsorption studies using the nano sorbent showed significant dye reduction of 97.4% atoptimum conditions of 7.0 pH at 27°C with 300 mg of Silver nano particles. kinetic studies on adsorption were carried out, which showed pseudo second order kinetics fits well the adsorption studies with favourable adsorption of reactive dye used. The obtained nanomaterial can be instantly used for controlling the dye that is polluting the environment from textile industries.<#LINE#>Literathy P(1981)Industrial effluent treatment, vol. 1.

Various methods such as sun-drying, smoking and refrigeration as currently used to prevent such loses are either costly, unavailable to the intended users or ineffective. In addition, the anti-oxidants available in the market to mitigate loses occasioned by oxidation to the fish are mainly artificial and yet to be optimized for Oreochromis niloticus. This study quantified the interactive effects between the storage temperature and ambient humidity and the effectiveness of Citric acid, Vitamin E (tocopherol), Rosemarinic acid, Propyl gallate and Vitamin C in arresting fish tissue oxidation. This study observed the fish, starts to rot from the head and this spoilage could only be controlled by temperature  at low to medium humidity (< ca. 35 %) values. At high humidity, ca. 65%, the rate of spoilage was purely humidity controlled. The effectiveness order of Vitamin E &#8805; Rosmarinic acid > Propyl gallate >Citric acid > Vitamin C was realized and their molecular rotatable bond counts and the kinetic diameters were the most influential properties. Thus, for effective storage, separating the head from the rest of fish and doing the refrigeration in less humid environments is recommended.  The relative efficacy of the anti-oxidants could be predicted by evaluation of their relative rotatable bond counts and the kinetic diameters.<#LINE#>World Health Organization, (WHO) (2002).

These were checked at selected locations from their origin to Pune city. The nutrients play an important role in the growth of plants and maintenance of overall aquatic diversity. Even as it becomes very necessary to understand the extent of nutrient pollution levels in rivers as waste discharges are on the rise day by day. The study was based on the hypothesis that lower concentrations of inorganic nutrients are available in waters of Mula and Mutha at the origin places as watershed areas while nutrients are in high concentrations in the city plains. Changes in nutrients could also give ideas about sources of pollution levels alongside the rivers.  Overall, the purpose was to collect useful baseline data related to variations in nutrients for designing a river restoration plan.<#LINE#>Johnson, N. M.,  Likens, G. E.,  Bormann F. H., Fisher D.

In industrial applications, hot water is used in food processing or as a heat transfer fluid.  It is sometimes used to operate machines such as absorption refrigeration systems for the production of cold for the preservation of foodstuffs, etc.  Producing hot water from energy sources that are not harmful to the environment, such as solar energy, is a challenge to limit the negative impacts of the use of fossil fuels on nature. Despite the advantages of solar hot water production and the potential of solar energy in Africa, this technique remains little used in Sub-Saharan Africa due to the lack of equipment and its high price. The objective of the project is to help design, manufacture and test a local, efficient and affordable solar water heater for the African market.  The first experimental tests on the hot water production showed that the hot water storage temperature in the equipment\'s tank can reach 80°C, on sunny days under the test conditions in Benin. On non-sunny days, the completed collector should operate with an electric booster to reach the hot water storage temperature of 80°C required for some industrial applications (absorption machines). These first tests are conclusive and this low environmental impact device can be improved and popularised for industrial and domestic applications in sub-Saharan climatic conditions.<#LINE#>Alihonou A.

The average annual rainfall of the country is in between 1500-3000mm. However, water scarcity is a major problem in Kathmandu valley as well as in some major cities of the country. In this context, rainwater harvesting may serve as one of the promising ways of supplementary water supply system to meet water demand in the valley. This study is aimed to analyze the potential for rainwater harvesting, the rainfall pattern and rainwater quality at Dallu Awas area which lies within the central-western part of the Kathmandu valley. Potential rainwater harvesting was determined by the questionnaire survey method and using a mathematical formula. The rainfall pattern was determined by analyzing the rainfall data supplied by the Department of Hydrology and Metrology, Government of Nepal and, the quality of rainwater was determined by analyzing its physico-chemical and microbial parameters in the laboratory. The study showed 90.33m3 of rainwater harvesting capacity per household. Between 2006-2015 AD, the highest amount of rainfall (1829.4mm) was recorded in 2011 and the lowest (98.25mm) in 2009. For rainwater quality, a total of 81 rainwater samples were collected directly from atmospheric precipitation during rainy season from three different cluster zones viz., residential, school and hospital of the study area. The assessed physico-chemical, and microbial quality parameters were turbidity, electrical conductivity (EC), pH, biogenic compound, heavy metals (Fe, Mn, Pd and Zn) and total coliforms. Results revealed that the values of tested parameters were found within the guideline values set out by the NDWQS and WHO. Hence, the present study suggests that water scarcity in Kathmandu may be solved to some extent if proper rainwater harvesting system is adopted and collected rainwater may be used for multiple purposes following proper disinfection process.<#LINE#>Orli&#324;ska-Wo&#378;niak, P., Wilk, P. and G&#281;bala, J.

They were divided into five groups each containing five toothpastes. Samples were digested in fume hood by using the diacid method. Mineral samples (Na, Ca & P) were analyzed by using Multi-channel Flame photometer. While Samples of heavy metals were measured using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer. Fluoride was determined by spectrophotometer. The result showed that Ca, Zn, Fe, Cr, Ni and Mn was above than permissible limit while K and Pb were within permissible limit. Cu was not detected at all. Fluoride was present within permissible limit in three groups while in remaining groups its concentration was slightly higher than permissible limit.

The forest area of the Jungle Mahal (composed of four districts and part of two districts) once is in depleting status, which is now reviving as reported by the Forest Survey of India in 2019. The probable reasons for this increasing scenario of Jungle Mahalare the impact of climate change, change of soil chemical parameters and local peoples direct participation with the forest department for forest restoration. As the study of the impact of climate change is still continuing, a pilot survey has been taken up to review the physico-chemical parameters of soil in the selected areas of Joypur and Beliatore Forest Ranges of Bankura, Lodhasuli and Mayur Jharna Elephant Reserve in Jhargram, Arabari in Paschim Medinipur, Bundowan and Garh Panchakot of Purulia, Garh Jangal and Aduria forest in Paschim Bardhaman and 11 Mile forest in the Birbhum district.Result obtained from the soil chemical analysis of the sampled soils up to rooting depth of 30 cm show status quofor the forest stands of Jungle Mahal of West Bengal.<#LINE#>FSI.

Most of the Indian cities and metropolis are situated on the edge of health risk because of atmospheric contamination. Patna - the capital of Bihar - is notorious for air pollution. The main culprit of air pollution of this city is vehicular emission. The present study has been carried out to assess the air pollution load of Patna city that resulted mainly due to vehicular emission and to propose some remedial options to the planners and decision makers to solve this issue. It is a survey based study that has been carried out at different sampling locations of Patna city and necessary primary data were collected. The study revealed that the atmospheric condition of Patna city is deteriorating day by day due to vehicular emission and if this situation persists for long the inhabitants of the region will fall in great distress. Hence immediate and fruitful steps should be taken to remediate this situation.<#LINE#>CPCB (Central Pollution Control Board). (2008).

Their numerous commercial, residential, rural, health, and technical uses have contributed to their broad environmental dissemination. The following analysis addresses the findings of the various authors past work on Pollution of heavy metals in Buriganga River, together with heavy metals source and its effect of on plant, human and environment all over the world. Concentrations of 8 heavy metals in Buriganga River water and dregs are explored in the analysis to evaluate their levels and compare them with other major Bangladesh rivers. Indiscriminate disposal and redemption of toxic waste into rivers contribute to environmental pollution that might be viewed as a potential source of impendence to the biotic community. Although certain are important, a significant number of trace elements might be noxious to all embodied soul at a severe level because of the advancement of complex mixes inside the cell. Introduction to heavy metals is related to mental hindrance, kidney harm, numerous maladies, and even mortality in occurrences of extremely high exposure.<#LINE#>Miller, C.V., Foster, G.D. and Majedi, B.F.
