Hence, it is essential to analyze the connection between different textures and geochemical parameters. In the present study, numbers of shallow cores of soil samples were taken along the river Mini flowing in the northern part of Vadodara district of Gujarat, India. Ground water samples were also acquired from the same region. Parameters like iron and nitrite were analysed both in different layers of the shallow cores and groundwater. It was inferred from the analysis that location of industries and the path of river Mini had important contribution in the pattern of the concentration of parameters both horizontally and vertically. <#LINE#> @ @ Parizanganeh A., Grain size effect on trace metals in contaminated sediments along the Iranian coast of the Caspian Sea, In Proceedings of Taal 2007: The 12th World Lake Conference,329, 336 (2008) @No $ @ @ Huang J., Wu P. and Zhao X., Effects of rainfall intensity, underlying surface and slope gradient on soil infiltration under simulated rainfall experiments, Catena, 104, 93-102 (2013) @No $ @ @ Mazaheri M.R. and Mahmoodabadi M., Study on infiltration rate based on primary particle size distribution data in arid and semiarid region soils, Arab J Geosci.,5(5), 1039-1046 (2012) @No $ @ @ Pekey H., The distribution and sources of heavy metals in Izmit Bay surface sediments affected by a polluted stream, Mar.

The enzyme activities play an important role in soil fertility and productivity. It indicates extremely sensitive changes in the soil health. The need for the survey of radiation effect in these sites is important for vegetation and health assessment of those people who are staying near these areas. Monitoring and sampling of soil were done in seven sampling locations of Bastacola, Rajapura, Lodna and Kustor from August 2009 to April 2010. All sampling locations lie between latitude 23° 39' to 23° 48' N and longitude86° 11' to 86° 27' E. Variations of physico-chemical parameters were studied in summer and winter season. Effect of radiation on two types of enzymes activity like dehydrogenase (DHA) and catalase (CTA) were studied. A two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) showed that twelve soil quality parameters had a significant difference (p 0.05) in two seasons. Enzyme activity in fire zones was found zero in spite of having high N, P, K and organic carbon. While grassland and natural vegetation showed high enzyme activity due to lesser radiation effect. The damage of microorganisms was increased due to the increase of Gamma rays. Available N, P, K and organic carbon found maximum with respect to Bastacola. Effect of Gamma radiation was found to be strongly negatively correlated with dehydrogenase activity (DHA) and catalase activity (CTA). <#LINE#> @ @ Rao K.V., Reddy P.Y., Ramchander R.B. and Reddy K.R., Airborne radon and its progeny levels in the coal mines of Godavarikhani, Andhra Pradesh, India.

Reactions were carried out by using about 200 grams of PP waste. The nitrogen gas was purged in required quantity in the reactor to create pyrolytic condition. The maximum temperature in a reactor was kept about 450C. Reactions were carried out with and without using natural zeolite (NZ) as a catalyst. It was found that, time required for completion of the pyrolysis process was 90 minutes without catalyst and 65 minutes with natural zeolite. Results showed that in absence of catalyst, process gives about 80.82% of liquid fuel and in presence of 10 % natural zeolite, about 86.40 % yield is obtained. It is observed that by using natural zeolite, oil percent can be enhanced and one can obtain high calorific value fuel than that of oil without catalyst. GC-MS results of oil samples showed presence of petroleum fractions (C-C20) with some high molecular weight fractions from C20-C30. <#LINE#> @ @ http://www.cleanup.org.au/PDF/au/cua_plastic_recycling_fact_sheet.pdf 2, (2015) @No $ @ @ Kumari, N.A., Kumari, P., Murthy, N.S., A Novel, Mathematical Approach for Optimization of Plastic Degradation, Int.

Data revealed that there is positive correlation among these variables. It is evident that as the temperature decreases humidity increases which favors the arrival of aphids. At the same time, rainfall and wind velocity exhibit negligible effect on the population of aphid. The observations further revealed that the emergence of Endaphis aphidimyza was maximum during 3 to 4 p.m. The female midges started egg laying 30 to 40 minutes after mating, preferably on the lower surface of leaves and around the stem. At the time of egg laying, the color of egg was yellowish. The process of egg laying started at 4.15 p.m. and continued up-to 6.30 p.m. The mating give rise to eggs, eventually hatching takes place and produces the larvae. The larva enter in to the stomach of the aphid and completes three stages namely first, second, third and consequently tears off the stomach of the aphid and penetrate in to the soil. Then it makes a cover for its protection to survive in the unfavorable conditions in the soil. When conditions become favorable, it comes out of the cover and mate again to produce the eggs that hatch into larvae and attack the aphids, and thus the life cycle goes on. These revelations of the lifecycle of the midge are useful in protection of the crop plants from the aphid population and thus have better harvest. In absence of Zoophagous Cecidomyiids and absence of ppm, this indicates the climatic conditions when the midges would attack and reduce the host aphid population to have aphid free crop. In the light of this fact, Zoophagous cecidomyiids is eco-friendly and crop protections insect. <#LINE#> @ @ Tripathi S.K., Ecological studies on Zoophagous Cecidomyiids (Cecidomyiidae: Diptera) A Ph.D Thesis, Mahatma Gandhi Chitrakoot Gramodaya Vishwavidyalay Chitrakoot Satna, M.P., India, (2012) @No $ @ @ Tripathi S.K. and Chandra R., An evaluation of abiotic factors in the life cycle of endaphis aphidimyza(zoophagous cecidomyiids) in ecological parameters, International Journal of Scientific Engineering and Technology Speciel Issue,(2014) @No $ @ @ Grover P. and Kashyap V., Biology of Endaphis aphidimyza (Shivpuje et.al) Cecid, Internationale, (IX), , (1988) @No $ @ @ Bade B.A. and Kadam J.R., Studies on bionomics and population density of safflower aphid in relation to different dates of showing, J.

The effect of various operating variables such as amount of activated carbon, pH, liquid flow rate, temperature, Ocontent, and sulfitebisulfiteon the absorption of NO and SO by Fe (II) EDTA solution was examined. Fe (II) EDTA was regenerated by catalytic reduction of Fe (III) EDTA by sulfiteionsin the presence of activated carbon. SO2 is almost 100% absorbed in the scrubbing solution during all the experiments. The rate of NO absorption increased with the amount of activated carbon. Absorption of NO increased with pH and reached to the maximum value at a pH of ~7.5 and decreased thereafter. The rate of NO absorption increased with the liquid flow rate and decreased with increasing O2 content. However, NO absorption decreased with theincreasing temperature in the absence of activated carbon and increased in the presence of activated carbon. Further, the rate of NO Absorption improved with the sulfitebisulfite concentration. <#LINE#> @ @ Baveja K., Subba Rao D. and Sarkar M.K., Kinetics of absorption of nitric oxide in hydrogen peroxide solutions, J.

In the present study, 8 selected gaseous phase PAHs were determined in ambient air representing rural environment. The gaseous phase PAHs samples were investigated for quantification of selected PAHs in various seasons and possible sources of gaseous phase PAHs in rural environment. The samples were collected using a cartridge containing XAD-2 resin placed between layers of polyurethane foam (PUF) and analyzed by fluorescence technique. The seasonal variation in selected gaseous phase individual PAHs varied between 28-496.9 ng m-3 during winter, summer and post-monsoon season respectively. The concentration of gaseous phase PAHs was dominated by Phen, Anth and Flt. The gaseous phase concentration of PAHs were 3.9 and 5.1 times higher in winter as compared to summer and post-monsoon season respectively. The higher concentration winter may be due to higher emission from biomass burning, fuel used for cooking such as coal and kerosene and other heating activities to protect from cold winter. The three ring gaseous phase PAHs were predominant than four and five membered ring PAHs and contribution varied between74.9-93.9 % of selected PAHs. The ratio analysis studies showed that traditional fuel used for cooking purposes mainly wood, kerosene, coal and biomass burning are the major contributors in rural environment. <#LINE#> @ @ Hashmi I., Kim J.G., Kim K.S. andPolyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) levels from two industrial zones (Sihwa and Banwal) located in Ancity of the Korean Peninsula and their influence on lake,J. of Appl Sci. and Environ Mgmt.,Sharma A., Tyagi S.K., Kulshrestha D.Source Apportionment Study of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) in New Delhi, India,Environ Sci., 4(6), 1140-1149Ravindra K., Sokhi R., and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbonsemission factor and regulation,2895-2921 (2008) @No $ @ @ Ho K.F., Ho S.S.H., Lee S.C., Cheng Y., Chow J.C.,Watson J.G., Louie P.K.K.gas- and particle-phase polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the ShingMun Tunnel, Hong Kong,Environ., 43, 6343-6351 (2009) @No $ @ @   \n  \r  \r\n  \r\r_______________________________ ISSN 2319–1414 Int.

Vegetable wastes are perishable and are responsible for great amount of environmental pollution. Biomethanation is an attractive option for vegetable waste treatment. Several studies have been reported on the biomethanation of mixture of vegetable wastes by different researchers using anaerobic digesters of different designs and capacities. There are very few reports on biomethanation potential of individual vegetable waste types. Thus, the purpose of this study was to determine the biogas yield and volatile solids removal efficiency using individual vegetable waste types and combination of these individual vegetable wastes in equal proportions using floating dome design type of reactor of 1 liter capacity. The daily biogas yield in terms of gm VS/l.d added from individual vegetable waste ranged from 0.483 L/gm VS to 0.674 L/gm VS. Potato waste and Onion waste exhibited highest and lowest biogas yield respectively. Mixture of vegetable waste exhibited the biogas yield of 0.654 L/gm VS. Maximum VS and BOD reduction was associated with the tomato waste whereas cauliflower waste exhibited minimum VS and BOD reduction. <#LINE#> @ @ Kumar D., Khare M. and Alappat B.J., Leachate generation from municipal landfills in New Delhi, India. 27th WEDC Conference on People and Systems for Water, Sanitation and Health, Lusaka, Zambia (2001) @No $ @ @ Baffi C., Dell Abate M.T., Silva S., Beneditti A., Nassisi A., Genevini P.L. and Adani F., A comparison of chemical, thermal and biological approach to evaluate compost stability, By Geophysical Research Abstracts, 7: 09116.

A number of interventions have already been formulated so far and few are under extensive research and scrutinization. Certain serious limitations of the strategies have eventually leaded to designing highly efficient prevention measures. This review chiefly focuses on the natural or plant derived products used as anti-Vibrio agents, for instance, catechin present in blackberry, tea, magnolol present in magnolia species plants and so on. This review also promotes the idea of using these plant derived materials in treating drinking water contaminated with cholera pathogen. Hopefully, this approach will certainly be able to eradicate the pathogen from water, in turn eradicating the diseases from occurring as well as from spreading. <#LINE#> @ @ Global epidemics and impact of cholera: Cholera: Health Topics.
