Measurements of temperature (Ambient, surface, and bottom) depth, calcium, magnesium,  sodium, potassium, lithium,   and inorganic nutrients (nitrate, nitrite, phosphate, phosphorous and nitrogen) were carried out in surface and bottom waters at six stations on the Manakudy estuary during January 2013 to June 2013. High temperature was observed in June comparing other month. The average depth was increased from 1.10 m to 1.29 m due to extensive sand mining. Ca, Mg, Na, K, and Li were significantly correlated between stations. Nitrogen was positively correlated with nitrite and phosphate nutrient. Nutrient ratio, N:P and Nitratre:Phosphate ratio were low in all station this indicate potential nitrogen limitation. <#LINE#> @ @ Morris A.W., Allen J.I., Howland R.J.M. and Wood R.G., The estuary plume zone: source or sink for land-derived nutrient discharges?, Estuarine coastal and shelf science,40, 387-402 (1995) @No $ @ @ Thurman H.V., Introductory Oceanography 4th ed., Merrill publishing co.,Columbus,ohio,  503 (1985) @No $ @ @ Nixon S.W., Hunt C.D. and Nowicki B.L., The retention of nutrients (C,N,P), heavy metals (Mn, Cd, Pd,Cu) and petroleum hydrocarbons in Narraganselt Bay,, In J.M.Marin and P.Lasserre(eds.), Biogeo chemical processes at the land-sea boundary Elsevier Press, Amsterdam  99-122 (1986) @No $ @ @ Wollast R., Interactions in estuaries and coastal waters.

Kanya Mahavidyalaya, Kadegaon, Dist. Sangli, Maharashtra, INDIA <#LINE#>25/2/2014<#LINE#>19/3/2014<#LINE#>In countries like India insecticides play an important role in horticulture sector. Their importance in crop yield improvement, especially in Grape production, is understood and well accepted. But still they pose a threat to the environment due to their toxic nature and persistence in the food chain. Therefore, the study focuses on the development of a method to reduce the environmental burden of the insecticides by way of biodegradation. During this study, 7 different Bacillus strains isolated from grape rhizosphere soils were found to show significant tolerance ability towards an organophosphorus insecticide, Dichlorvas. Results indicated that out of 7 strains, only one strain could degrade the insecticide at the level of 10mg/L and 15mg/L. Also, the degradation of Dichlorvas was enhanced when medium was provided with glucose as an inducer for growth of bacteria. <#LINE#> @ @ Elsai O.G., Abdelbagi A.O. and E.A.E.

<#LINE#>Degradation in Water Quality due to Limestone Mining in East Jaintia Hills, Meghalaya, India<#LINE#>R. Eugene@Lamare,O.P.@Singh<#LINE#>13-20<#LINE#>3.ISCA-IRJEvS-2014-47.pdf<#LINE#>Department of Environmental Studies, North-Eastern Hill University, Umshing, Shillong -793022, Meghalaya, INDIA <#LINE#>5/3/2014<#LINE#>12/4/2014<#LINE#>Meghalaya possesses 9% of the country total limestone reserves. Of which, East Jaintia Hills district has the maximum deposits. Limestone rock mining in the district started about a decade ago to meet the requirements of the cement plants of the area. In recent years, number of cement plants and quantum of limestone mining have increased drastically leading to severe environmental problems ranging from deforestation and degradation of land to water pollution and water scarcity. This study reports the impact of limestone mining on water quality based on analyses of various physico-chemical parameters of water samples of the area and its comparison with the results of unaffected water body.  Analysis was done during the Pre-monsoon and Post-monsoon seasons of 2013, from five different locations in the vicinity of the mining area. The water samples from Myntdu river headwater were selected as a control. It was found that water samples analysed  from the vicinity of limestone quarry and cement plant showed an elevated levels of pH, EC, TDS, total hardness, alkalinity, calcium and sulphate concentrations etc. with reference to those of control samples. The study revealed that open cast mining of limestone rock’s and direct contact of wastewater from the cement plants into the water bodies does have a negative impact on the physico-chemical characteristics of the waters of the area. Thereby, indicating a serious problem on availability of clean water in the area.<#LINE#> @ @ DMR (Directorate of Mineral Resources), Technical report of the directorate of mineral resources, Government of Meghalaya, Shillong, Meghalaya (1985) @No $ @ @ IBM (Indian Bureau of Mines), Ministry of Mines, Government of India, Limestone and other calcareous material in Indian mineral yearbook 2011 (Part-II), 50thedition (2012) @No $ @ @ Makweba M.M. and Ndonde P.B., The mineral sector and the national environmental policy, In:Proceedings of the workshop on the national environmental policy for Tanzania (Dar es Salaam, Tanzania), pp. 164–173 (1996) @No $ @ @ Swer S. and Singh O.P., Status of Water quality in coal mining areas of Meghalaya, India, In:Proceeding of National Seminar on Environmental engineering with special reference on Mining Environment, Indian Institute of Mines, Dhanbad, 1-9 (2004a) @No $ @ @ Swer S. and Singh O.P., Coal mining impacting water quality and aquatic biodiversity in Jaintia Hills district of Meghalaya Himalayan Eco., 11(2), 29-36(2004b) @No $ @ @ SoE (State of the Environment Report),Department of Environment and Forests, Government of Meghalaya 2005) @No $ @ @ APHA., Standard methods of chemical analysis of water and wastewater, American Public Health Association, 21stedn, Washington DC (2005) @No $ @ @ Maiti S.K., Handbook of method in environmental studies, water and wastewater analysis, ABD Publish -ers Jaipur, Rajasthan (2001) @No $ @ @ Trivedy R.K. and Goel P.K., Chemical and biological methods for water pollution studies,Environmental Publication,Karad, India (1986) @No $ @ @ Mishra P.C., Sahu H.B. and Patel R.K., Environmental pollution status as a result of limestone and dolomite mining - A case study, Poll.

Phenomenon ofAllelopathy could be defined as involvement of phytochemicals in the growth and development of surrounding plants, which could be direct or indirect. Moreover the effects could be positive or negative. Plants release phyto-chemicals in the surrounding soil and environment. Allelochemicals are primarily phenolic compounds which are involved in causing number of problems, such as reduction in crop production due to changes in chemical as well as microbial composition of soil, changes in the structure of ecosystem and failure in regeneration of natural forests.  In the present study we demonstrate the toxic effects allelochemicals from Pinus needles on Wheat and Mustard seeds. The main aim of this study is to draw attention to the allelopathic potential of phenolic compounds present in pine needles in as the main cause of reduction in crop production. <#LINE#> @ @ Rizvi S.J.H., Haque H., Singh V.K.

The study area is located in the Brazzaville city and it is well known by strong anthropogenic action on it. This research has generated maps of natural and environmental vulnerabilities to soil erosion from base maps of soils, slope, occupation and land use. From these maps it is possible to recognize sensible areas from environmental problems, by allowing recommendation toward best advantage for control and environmental management. The maps elaboration aims to show the intensity and the distribution of vulnerability, mainly considering the stability related to topographic and soil aspects. The methodology consists of a logical integration and processing of different available data to create a georeferenced database in Arcgis 9.3.1 program.

Preparation of Environmental Sanitation Index for the state of Tamil Nadu, India, is part of the exercise. Methodology used under Human Development Index is taken as a model and customized the same to suit environmental sanitation index. Indices attempted in this paper will be a pointer to policy makers and administrators to take corrective measures for those districts which displayed dismal performance on the sanitation front. Still there is one more year to go as target period of MDG being 2015. Districts like Chennai and Kanniyakumari exemplified well by scoring first and second ranks also excelled better on literacy and income level. Access to toilet is crucial to sanitation and it is reckoned that about fifty per cent of Indian population is still using open air for defecation. This has to change and without which all development efforts will never be inclusive.  <#LINE#> @ @ Joint monitoring programme (JMP) for water supply and sanitation, progress on Drinking water and sanitation : 2012 update, United nations children’s fund and World Health Organization, New York and Geneva, 15 (2012) @No $ @ @ Sunita Nariain, Why the flush toilet is ecologically mindless and why we need a paradigm shift in sewage technology, 2nd International symposium on ecological sanitation, (2003) @No $ @ @ Corcoran and Emily, editors, Sick water?

The study of various water pollution parameters during the period 2011-2012 showed the vulnerability of the water of the river against the pollution from waste water. Results showed that physicochemical properties of the water were closely related with the distribution of coliforms. Principal component analysis (PCA) shows a strong correlation between the parameters of organic pollution (Pt, PO, NH, NO, COD and BOD 5) and fecal contamination (CT, CF, SF). Thus, it has highlighted on the one hand, the degradation of downstream water quality of the river with a strong organic pollution accompanied by fecal contamination caused by discharges of the industrial zone Lissassfa and Nassim agglomerations. On the other hand, the natural mineralization of the Oued Bouskoura waters was confirmed by high levels (EC, Sal, Cl, SO). The monitoring of the parameters of fecal contamination, total coliforms (TC), fecal coliforms (FC), fecal streptococci (FS) shows that the bacterial load of these germs largely exceeds water intended for irrigation guidelines of the World Health Organization's (WHO). <#LINE#> @ @ Rajiv P., Hasna Abdul Salam, Kamaraj M., Rajeshwari Sivaraj and Sankar A., Physico Chemical and Microbial Analysis of Different River Waters in Western Tamil Nadu, India, I.

Eight treatment options were set up. These include Natural process (positive control), poisoned and filtered sample (negative control), Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Bacillus subtilis,  Rhizopus stolonifer, Aspergillus niger, Chlorella vulgaris and a mixed culture of the above microorganisms. The experiment was conducted at ambient temperature (30 ± 2C and pH range of 6.8 to 8.9 and incubated for 60days. Physicochemicalanalyses of the effluent on day zero revealed the presence of Cadmium (0.041mg/l), Chromium (0.5mg/l) and Zinc (0.521mg/l) and were found to be relatively high in relation to the DPR standards for petroleum industries in Nigeria. At the end of 60 days, the various treatment options (Natural process(positive control), poisoned and filtered sample(negative control), Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Bacillus subtilis,  Rhizopus stolonifer, Aspergillus niger, Chlorella vulgaris and a mixed culture of the above microorganisms) were able to bioaccumulate 78%, 14.6%, 58.5%, 45%, 79.5%, 83% and 26.9% of Cadmium; 61.4%, 2.1%, 95.9%, 74.9%, 34%, 62% and 49% of Zinc and 61.4%, 13%, 50.6%, 84.8%, 87%, 87% and 38.2% of Chromium respectively. The mixed culture recovered 100% of Cadmium in 42days; 100% of Zinc and Chromium in 28days.  However, not all the heavy metals recovered from the sample were bioconcentrated. Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Bacillus subtilis,  Rhizopusstolonifer, Aspergillusniger, Chlorella vulgaris and the mixed culture bioconcentrated 61%, 31.7%, 53.7%, 73.1%, 22% and 70.7% of Cadmium; and 62.6%, 55.9%, 16.5%, 38.6%, 35.9% and 74.7% of Zinc. Besides, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Bacillus subtilis and the mixed culturebioconcentrated 32, 42.2 and 50% of Chromium. This study has demonstrated the great potential of the above listed microorganisms to clean-up the refinery effluent of certain heavy metals and can be employed in treatment of environments polluted with effluents containing high levels of Cadmium, Chromium and Zinc. <#LINE#> @ @ Onianwah F.I., Stanley H.O. and Stanley C.N., Bioremoval of cadmium, Mercury, Nickel and Zinc from leachate samples collected from refuse dump on Obiri/Ikwerre/Airport Link Road using living cells of Aspergellus Niger and Rhizopus Stolonifer, IRJEVS, 2(11),1-8, (2013) @No $ @ @ Volesky B., Bioremoval of heavy metals.

Temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, free carbon-di-oxide, alkalinity, chlorinity, salinity, total hardness, and phosphorus were measured simultaneously. We have identified 40 species of rotifers with various categories such as, eurythermal, stenothermal, alkalophilic and eutrophic indicators. Among these species, the genera Brachionus and Lecane were dominant in their presence. The physico-chemical parameters were recorded within the tolerance limit of rotifer species. The plenty of rotifer density was observed in February, 2008, while the lowest was recorded during August, 2007. The Diversity indices were recorded highest during February 2008 (1.9889) and lowest during October 2007 (1.1205) which showed a clear picture not only on the dynamics of the rotifer community but also on the nature of water body. <#LINE#> @ @ Rao S.V., Sastry P.G. and Ghorpade V.G., Reservoir Sedimentation and Concerns of Stakeholders, Res.

<#LINE#>Toxic Impacts of Sub-Chronic Inhalation of Mosquito Coil Smoke in Rabbits<#LINE#>Nadia@Ghani,Anum@Shahbaz<#LINE#>86-91<#LINE#>14.ISCA-IRJEvS-2014-83.pdf<#LINE#> Department of Environmental Sciences, Lahore College for Women University, Jail Road, Lahore, PAKISTAN<#LINE#>24/4/2014<#LINE#>1/5/2014<#LINE#>Various Asian countries including china, Thailand, India, Malaysia Korea and Japan commonly used mosquito coils as mosquito repellent. Mosquito coils are slow-burning product which release smoke containing one or more insecticides; it burns for several hours in confine places in order to provide protection to humans against malaria, which spread due to mosquitoes. Present study was intended to examine the toxic impacts of inhaling mosquito coil smoke on male rabbits. Mosquito coils are widely used to kill mosquitoes. A total of forty rabbits were used in this study. These rabbits were divided into two major groups i.e., Control Group and Experimental Group. Experimental group was further divided into 3 sub-groups i.e., E1, E2 and E3.Each group contain 10 rabbits as shown in figure 2.1. Control Group was not exposed to mosquito coil smoke while Experimental groups were exposed to mosquito coil smoke for 3 hours/day. Exposure time remain the same but exposure days vary with each Experimental group i.e., E1 was exposed for 5 days, E2 was exposed for 10 days and E3 was exposed for 15 days. After the completion of exposure day’s blood was collected from the ear pinna of rabbits for the analysis of Red Blood Cells, White Blood Cells and Platelets. Blood samples were analyzed by using Hematology Analyzer. Effect of mosquito coil smoke on weight of rabbits was also observed and morphological changes due to mosquito coil smoke was also evaluated. Results were analyzed by comparing the data of Experimental groups with Control group. According to results a significant decrease was observed in weight of Group E3 rabbits. Results also demonstrated that with the increase of exposure day’s number of White Blood Cells and Platelets were also increased while the numbers of Red Blood Cells become decreased. <#LINE#> @ @ Watson C., Trends in world urbanizationthe 1stInternational Conference on Insect Pests in the Urban Environment.
