There is very little information available regarding polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), a persistent environmental pollutant in Lahore, Pakistan. This research was carried out by collecting atmospheric particulate matter with the help of high volume samplers from December 2013 to December 2014. From literature it was found that greater levels of PAH concentration were observed during winters due to changes in emission sources and the climatic effects. The sampling site was one of the busiest and heavy traffic areas named Yadgar Chowk, Lahore. PAH’s quantified with the help of Gas Chromatography. The average total concentration of PAH was found to be 239 ngm-3.  Among the determined polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons Benzo (a) Anthracene (BaA) was found to be in highest concentration i.e. 58 ngm-3. <#LINE#> @ @ Xue W.

The structure and phase identification of the prepared powder samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and microstructure by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The response of prepared spinel-type oxide materials to various reducing gases like ethanol, liquefied petroleum gas, hydrogen sulfide and ammonia was examined. The sensor response mainly depends on the operating temperature and the test gas species. The reasons for the sensing characteristics of spinel-type oxide based sensor elements were discussed. <#LINE#> @ @ Waitz T., Becker B., Wagner T., Sauerwald T, Kohl C.D. and Tiemann  M., Ordered nanoporous SnO gas sensors with high thermal stability, Sens.

The aim of this study is to establish any definite pattern between air quality in urban and semi urban. In order to do this the air pollution tolerance index (APTI) was used to evaluate the plants in these environments. This is an indirect monitoring of the environment. It was found that plant from the urban environment had consistently higher APTI than those from a similar ecological environment in a semi-urban setting. A definite gradient was then established between the urban and semi urban environment. <#LINE#> @ @ Randhi E D. and Reddy M.A., Evaluation of Tolerant Plant Species in Urban Environment: A Case Study from hyderbad, India, Uni.

The plants and soil samples used in this study were obtained from the places nearby Koradi Lake which is situated to the northern side of Nagpur and then analyzed for arsenic (As) and nickel (Ni) content. The metals accumulated were investigated using inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometer (ICPAES). The arsenic content in soil was 2.29 ppm and that of nickel was 58.344 ppm. The ability of plants to absorb metal from the soil was calculated by bioconcentration factor (BCF) whereas their ability to translocate metal from root to aboveground plant part was calculated by translocation factor (TF). On the basis of bioconcentration factor (BCF) and translocation factor (TF) values, Lantana camara and Polygonum glabrum were identified as potential plants for phytoextraction of nickel and arsenic contaminated soil respectively. <#LINE#> @ @ Lasat M.M., Phytoextraction of metals from contaminated soil: a review of plant/soil/metal interaction and assessment of pertinent agronomic issues, J.

The results show that all the extracts under study are good corrosion inhibitors, among which stem extract is the most effective. Corrosion inhibition efficiency increases with increasing concentration of inhibitor and it also increases with increasing concentration of HCl solution. Inhibition efficiency was found maximum up to 93.07% for mild steel with 0.8% stem extract.<#LINE#> @ @ Putilova I.N., Balizine S.A. and Baranmik V.P., Metallic corrosion inhibitor, Pergaman Press, London (1960) @No $ @ @ Chetopuani A. and Hammant B.

Plant essential oils are commonly used as a conventional source in several industries and show good antimicrobial property, these plant essential oils are also used as flavoring agent, essence, perfumes, dyes and paint industries and most importantly in the field of medical science. These essentialoils derive their antibacterial effect from their individual chemicalcomposition. Each single, pure essential oil consists of several chemicals and many of these have antimicrobial activities, and show synergistic effects. There are various essential oils acquires antibacterial, antifungal, insecticidal and antioxidant properties apart from these properties a number of essential oils were also being used in aromatherapy ,food preservation and fragrance industries and because of their numerous properties. There has been an enlarged concern on antimicrobial properties of extracts of various plants contains essential oils. Hence to analyse the antibacterial activity of essential oils from various plant species like Cinnamomum zeylanicum, Abutilon Indicum, Bothriochloa Pertusa and Mentha Spicata they are studied/treated  against Gram Positive bacteria and it was found that they will show commendable activity against Staphylococcus Aureus and Bacillus Subtilis. <#LINE#> @ @ Lattaoui N. and Tantaoui Elaraki A., Individual and combined antibacterial activity of three thyme essential oils, Rivista Italiana EPPOS, 13 (1994) @No $ @ @ Nychas G.J.E., Natural Antimicrobials from Plants.

According to the demand in international market 3000kt/year is being produced by a traditional autoxidation method which is known as 2-ethylanthraquinone process. The purpose of this research is to design a catalytic slurry reactor which give maximum efficiency of hydrogenation reaction for this purpose we perform a list of experiments inthe synthesis of 2-ethylhydroanthraquinone for the hydrogen peroxide production in a catalytic slurry reactor in the lab. Catalyst is available in the spherical form and some useful data is collected some from experiment and some from literature and a design of slurry type catalytic hydrogenator is present in this paper. <#LINE#> @ @ Jose M., Campose-Martin, Gema Blanco-Brieva and Jose L.G.
