The study shows that the highest biosorption rate of metal concentration was recorded by Micrococcus varians with 95.1% for Chromium and 89.0% for Zinc and the highest rate of biosorption by Staphylococcus aureus was 84.0% for Chromium and 64.0% for Zinc both on the seventh day. These findings indicates that under favourable condition Staphylococcus aureus and Micrococcus varians can expel heavy metals (Chromium and Zinc) from the earth, with Micrococcus varians having the highest potential.<#LINE#>Han F.X., Su Yi., Monts David L., Plodinec John M., Kingery William L., Triplett Glover E. and Banin A.

In order to ascertain green leafy vegetable for human consumption major toxic metals were evaluated and standard methods were used for determining of toxic metals in leafy vegetable by Atomic Absorption spectrometry (AAS). Toxic metals in vegetables, food, water is one of the main routes through which these elements enter the human body; however toxic metals can cause disease. Concentration for each toxic metal in the samples was calculated and compared with the permissible levels set by the FSSAI, Food & Agriculture Organization and World Health Organization. The toxic metal intake in the human diet was estimated and to calculate the risk of human health. In our research work the presence of toxic metals in leafy vegetable in the order Fe > Mn > Zn > Cu > Pb > Ni > Cd.  Based on these research, we conclude that the hazard for human consumption.<#LINE#>Akota O., Bruce T.N. and Darko D.

Collected samples were analyzed according to APHA (1998) for different physicochemical parameters and such as water temperature, pH, turbidity, alkalinity, total dissolved solids, total hardness, chlorides, phosphate, nitrates, dissolved oxygen and biological oxygen demand for a period of three year from January 2013 to December 2016. The results indicated that physicochemical parameters of the water were within the permissible limits and can be used for domestic, irrigation and pisciculture. The present study revealed the presence of 35 species of phytoplankton’s, in which 5 species of cyanophycee and 20 species of chlorophyceae and 10 species of bacillariophyceae. The high relative abundance of chlorophyta is an indicator of productive water ecosystem.<#LINE#>Buckton S.

Most significant parameters which contributed in annual and seasonal variations were assessed by Principal Components/Factor Analysis (PCA/FA) which identified three factors with86.11% and 80.56% of the total variance of the sampled data at TIR and JIR respectively.

In forest stratum although plant species richness is higher in herbaceous layer it experiences higher natural extinction rates than plant species in other strata. Global biodiversity loss is occurring at an ever-increasing rate. Thus, threats to herbaceous layer speciesare most often a function of threats to forest biodiversity. This work has done much to increase our understanding of functional roles of herbaceous plants in forest ecosystems. The study investigated a total of 47 herbaceous plants of 23 families within 30 quadrats of 1×1 m2.The results of the study showed that Ageratum conyzoides (Family Asteraceae) ranked the first in IVI (13.44), followed by Cyrtocuccum patens (Family Poaceae) which ranked second in the IVI (12.87) with the highest number of individuals of 53 species and Polygoniumpunctuatum (Family Polygonaceae) in the third ranked in the IVI (11.82). Lycopodiumcernuum (Family Lycopodaceae) is the recessive species and consequently ranked the lowest in the IVI. However, more in-depth knowledge of herbaceous diversity can serve as a measure for future monitoring of management facilities. It is, therefore,necessaryto conserve the herbaceous vegetation.<#LINE#>F.S. (2007).@The ecological significance of the herbaceous layer in temperate forest ecosystems.@J.

Twenty four groundwater samples from the study area randomly collected and  analyzed for important chemical parameters such as EC (Electrical conductivity), Ca (Calcium), Mg (Magnesium), Na(sodium), CO3 (carbonate), HCO3 (bicarbonate), SO4 (sulphate), and Cl (chloride). To evaluate the groundwater quality for irrigation purpose, the important water quality criteria such as  SAR (Sodium Absorption ratio) EC (Salinity Hazard), SSP (Sodium soluble Percentage), KR (Kelley Ratio), MR (Magnesium ratio), Na (Sodium Percentage), and RSC (Residual Sodium Carbonate) value have been computed from the chemical parameters. The computed result showed that based on SAR and MR ratio the quality of groundwater is excellent for irrigation purpose in the study area. In respect of other criteria the quality ranged from excellent to unsuitable category for agricultural purposes.<#LINE#>Jain C.K., Bandyopadhyay A.  and Bard A.

These environmental problems are due to the human activity. Hence there is a need to find out the solution to reduce the burden on natural systems and its resources. In order to bring solutions to environmental problems a shift in social values, attitudes and behaviours of human population is needed. The values motivates to act and influence behaviour, hence various actions can be taken environment sustainability. The various religious environmental movements can play a positive role in tackling environmental problems. These movements have ability to activate the actions needed to attain environmental sustainability and swift hundreds of millions of their followers around the world to pursue pro-environment attitudes and behaviours. Hence, a study was conducted to find out the relationship between human and environment, perception regarding environmental problems and willingness to sacrifice for environment. The data were collected through questionnaire on a sample of 120 respondents (25 each from respective religion viz. hindu, muslim, sikh, parsi, Christian and Jainism) of Vadodara City through random sampling. Descriptive and relational statistics was used for presenting results. The findings of the study revealed that majority of the respondents were middle aged, graduate and self employed belonging to middle income group and joint family. Majority of the respondents believed that there exists a relationship between human and environment and god too. Majority of the respondents perceive that all kinds of pollution and other problems are extremely dangerous for the environment. Majority of the respondents were very willing to sacrifice for the environment. It was also found that no relationship existed between relationship between human and environment, perception regarding environmental problems, willingness to sacrifice for environment and religion. A positive relationship was found between relationship between human and environment, perception regarding environmental problems and willingness to sacrifice for environment.<#LINE#>Gottlieb R.

Of late, with rapid pace of industrial development in our country, the concern for environment has become more pronounced. Air pollution is one of the main factors affecting environment. In view of injurious effects of various air pollutants on health of human beings and other living creatures, and their detrimental effects on plants, property and human environment, considerable attention is now being focussed in our country on air quality management to achieve sustainable economic development with the minimum environmental degradation.<#LINE#>Harold J.P., Hoecker W.H. and Herbert H.J.
