These wastes have a considerable impact on both human health and the environment. The HSW in Jeddah City was dominated by organics, paper, plastics and other small components. Generally, the production of solid waste has a direct relationship with density of population and economical developments. The charge of safety collecting and disposing of these wastes can be minimized and used in management of these wastes. The inhabitants themselves must be jointed in re-sorting processes of these household wasters in pre-transferring from houses. These wastes can be minimized by changing some of social and traditional feeding habits. The management of household solid waste can be created al lot of jobs and money thought reuse, recycle and recovery of these wastes. <#LINE#> @ @ Kipperberg G., A Comparison of Household Recycling Behaviors in Norway and the United States.

The area of the town is 26 sq. kms. The town is an important business centre. The study was carried out for one calendar year that is 2013. The work is a humble beginning to study the solid waste focusing on domestic waste or organic waste related to degradable products and non degradable recyclable wastes in commercial area or market yards. There are nearly 60 slums in the city. The solid wastes are collected on an average of 145 to 160 metric tons per day manually, and from where the degradable and non degradable material was separated, the degradable wastes are sent to the compost yard and the non degradable material will be sent to recycling industries. Urbanization leads to public health and environment concern not only in the developed countries but also in the underdeveloped countries. With regard to the underdeveloped countries there is no proper waste collection and disposable system. <#LINE#> @ @ Ashok V.

High radon levels were measured in dwellings of a number of countries including United States, Sweden and the United Kingdom. There is a concern that high levels of radon may contribute to an increased risk of lung cancer. These high indoor radon levels may exceed international guidelines and are associated with a number of factors including soil porosity, uranium content of the soil, building materials mode of construction, ventilation and metrological parameters. The variability of these factors accounts for the large range of the radon levels measured in dwellings. Recent epidemiological evidence suggests that inhalation of radon decay products in domestic environments could be a cause of lung cancer. The monitoring of radon, thoron and their progeny in different types of dwellings of Central Uttar Pradesh has been carried out using solid state nuclear track detector (SSNTD). The annual doses received due to radon and thoron by the inhabitants in the dwellings under study area has also been calculated. Based on the results it is found that the radon concentration in some selected parts of Central Uttar Pradesh varied from 21.17 Bq/m to 43.04 Bq/m with an average of (27.90 ± 1.03) Bq/m while the thoron concentration in same dwellings varied from 12.37 Bq/m to 22.79 Bq/m with an average of (16.75 ± 0.55Bq/m. The radon progeny levels in the dwellings under study area varied from 2.29 mWL to 4.65 mWL with an average of (3.02 ± 0.11) mWL while thoron progeny levels varied from 0.33 mWL  to 0.62 mWL with an average of (0.45 ± 0.01mWL. The annual dose received by the inhabitant in the dwellings under study area varied from 0.85 mSv to 1.6 mSv with an average of (1.12 ± 0.04) mSv.   <#LINE#> @ @ UNSCEAR, Sources, Effects and Risks of Ionizing Radiation, Report to the General Assembly United nations, New York, 151, (1988) @No $ @ @ ICRP, Lung Cancer Risk for Indoor Exposure to Radon Daughters.

Box 7062, Kampala, UGANDA <#LINE#>20/11/2014<#LINE#>3/12/2014<#LINE#>This study assessed the major threats to conservation of the shea butter tree (Vitellaria paradoxa) on farms in Buruli sub-region. Data were collected through a household survey, focused group and key informant interviews. Questionnaires data were coded, entered in Statistical Package for Social Scientists (SPSS) computer program and analyzed for major threats to conservation of the shea butter tree in Nakasongola District. Binary logistic regression analysis was used to show how socio- demographic characteristics influenced the willingness of the local people to protect shea butter trees on their farms. While the tree is a source of fruit, oil and charcoal to local communities, factors such as existing tree and land tenure system, termites, lack of planting materials and high poverty levels constrain on-farm shea tree growing. There was a significant association between marital status and willingness of the respondents to plant shea trees (R=6.614, P0.05). The existing shea tree populations are entirely wild with great economic potential that needs to be conserved. Regional research programs should aim at mobilizing local communities to carry out interventions such as shea tree germplasm multiplication, assisted tree regeneration and encouraging farmers to protect naturally regenerating trees. This will enhance tree based rehabilitation of the degraded resources, while ensuring environmental sustainability and improved livelihoods. National governments and local and international conservation bodies need to come up with appropriate incentives for promoting on-farm conservation of this very valuable species. Efforts are also needed to propagate shea tree vegetatively and using seed. Failure to intervene will otherwise culminate into complete degradation and loss of shea parkland benefits, leading to ‘the tragedy of the commons’ not only in Buruli sub region, but also other shea parklands areas in Lango, Teso and West Nile sub regions of Uganda.  <#LINE#> @ @ Hall J.B., Aebischer D.P., Tomlison H.F., Cosei-Amaning E. and Hindle J.R., Vitellaria paradoxa, a monograph, School of Agriculture and Food Sciences, Bangor, , 105 (1996) @No $ @ @ Okullo J.B.L., Hall J.B. and Obua J., Leafing, flowering and fruiting of Vitellaria paradoxa subsp. nilotica in savanna parklands in Uganda, kluwer Academic Publishers, Netherlands,14 (2004) @No $ @ @ Gwali S, Okullo JBL, Eilu G, Nakabonge G, Nyeko P, Vuzi P., Folk classification of Shea butter tree Vitellariaparadoxa subsp. nilotica) ethno-varieties in Uganda.

It is cost effective and has exquisite advantages and long term applicability. The present study suggests about the accumulation ability, mobility and plant growth response on exposure to heavy metals in soil. Experiments were carried out to find the accumulation ability of Cu and Zn in the Calendula officinalis. The selected metals were mixed at various concentrations ranging from 50, 100, 150, 200 and 250 mg/Kg for Cu and 150, 300, 450 and 600 mg/Kg for Zn separately in soil. The results showed that plants grown in Cu supplemented soil had shorter shoot and root length as compared to plants grown in control condition. This may be due to accumulation of Cu in shoot and root of Calendula officinalis. In comparison to Cu concentration accumulation, effect of Zn (150, 300, 450 and 600 mg/Kg) in soil reduced the length of shoots and roots of Calendula officinalis and accumulation potential of Zn was more. The results revealed that as the concentration of both metals (Cu and Zn) were increased in the soil; the overall length of Calendula officinalis decreased due to potential accumulation ability in shoot and root.  <#LINE#> @ @ Adriano D.C., Biogeochemistry of Trace Metals, CRC Press: Boca Raton, FA, 513, (1992) @No $ @ @ Kabata-Pendias A. and Pendias H., Trace Metals in Soils and Plants.

As coal is the major source of power generation, it also leads to the generation of huge amount of fly ash, which is disposed in ash dykes. Excessive water from these ash dykes are further collected into fly ash discharge water pond for further settlement. Present study was done in fly ash discharge water pond made for such purpose in Dhanras, Korba distritc, India. For study fly ash discharge water pond was divided into four stations and samples were collected respective stations. It was found that fly ash discharge water supports the growth of few rotifers at all stations except the point of entry of discharge water into the pond from ash dykes. Six different rotifers were isolated from the fly ash discharge water pond: Eosphora sp., Proalinopsis sp., Philodina sp., Keratella sp., Epiphanes sp., Lecane sp.. Philodina sp. was found to be the dominant one followed by Lecane sp., Prolinopsis sp. was the least abundant one. <#LINE#> @ @ Odgaard B.V., The sedimentary record of spheroidal carbonaceous fly ash particles in shallow Danish lakes,  Journal of Paleolimnology, ,171-187 (1993) @No $ @ @ Rowe C.L., Hopkins W.

Percentage adsorption of As (III) on FeOGAC was determined with respect to pH, contact time and adsorbent dose. The study revealed that the removal of As (III) was best achieved at pH range from 7.5 to 9.5. The initial As (III) concentration (100 µg/L) came down to less than 10 µg/L at contact time 90 min with adsorbent dose of 7.5g/50mL. The adsorption was studied for Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin and Dubinin-Radushkevich isotherms. The Langmuir isotherm model was found to be fitted well.  During the study the thermodynamic parameters like enthalpy change (H°), free energy change (G°), entropy change (S°) and activation energy (E) were determined for the better understanding of the adsorption process. The adsorption was found to be kinetically pseudo-second order controlled process. <#LINE#> @ @ Ranjan D., Talat M., Hasan S.H., Rice polish: an alternative to conventional adsorbents for treating arsenic bearing water by upflow column method.

To get rid of this, physical, chemical and biological methods are applied either alone or in combination. Use of microbes is one of the most popular methods among them. In this experiment, soil samples collected from the oil field to isolate potential microbes capable of crude oil degradation. Isolation of the crude oil degrading bacteria was followed by enriching the microbes by providing suitable growth conditions. The microbes those were capable of degrading the crude oil were identified as Bacillus cereus, Pseudoxanthomonas mexicana, Halomonas daqingensis and Parapusillimonas granuli, by 16s rRNA sequencing.  <#LINE#> @ @  Prabakaran, V.

This study has revealed that water quality was improved significantly with the reduction in values of BOD, COD, TDS, etc. All those sewage loaded aquatic bodies were  considerably polluted which were manifested by higher values of Pollution Load Index and water quality Index during the present study. Besides, toxic metals from this aquatic environment have also been found to be reduced to a considerable extent which was evident by the deduction of bio-concentration factor of toxic metals. These results have indicated that toxic metals were absorbed in this plant community to a great extent from its readily available form in the aquatic medium. Thus, water-hycinth as a most flourishing and abundant  macrophyte is being recommended as an important biotic agent for the bio-remediation and eco-restoration of pollution loaded aquatic systems. <#LINE#> @ @ Reynolds C.S., Swings and roundabouts: engineering the environment of algal growth.

Solid waste should be handled and disposed off properly or else it poses numerous risks. To reduce the effects of waste on human health and environment, Solid waste management should be undertaken. The project was taken up to assess the type and amount of waste generated in St. Pious X Degree and PG College for Women, Hyderabad and suggest the possible ways of managing the solid waste generated in the college campus. The waste was collected on a daily basis from various sources in the college and was separated into dry waste and wet waste. Dry waste was then segregated into recyclables (paper, plastic, glass, metals) and non recyclables and weighed. The results showed that out of the total waste generated, 24% was wet waste, 48.6% was dry non recyclable waste and remaining was dry recyclables- 14.7% paper; 8% plastic; 3.3% glass and 0.7% metals. It was suggested to employ colour coded dustbins for different types of wastes at main sources of waste generation in the college campus. <#LINE#> @ @ Waste Management, [Retrieved from http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article /pii/ S0956053 X14000269 "Editorial Board/Aims and Scopes", (2013) @No $ @ @ Astrid A. and Paul H.
