Subject: A Study On The Factors Influencing Segregation Of Household Waste By The Residents Of Bengaluru City
Keywords: Solid waste, Segregation, Environmental consciousness, Awareness, Theory of planned behaviour
Abstract: The research is aimed at finding out the various factors that are responsible with the intention to segregate solid waste in the household before disposal and the influence of the same to actually segregate solid waste. Theory of planned behaviour (TPB) was used as the base model to study the relationship between different variables of interest. Environmental consciousness and awareness were introduced in the TPB model as the independent variable affecting segregation intention and extended theory of planned behaviour was developed. As a part of the study, a sample of 140 respondents were chosen from the household of Bangalore and questions were asked related to the study. The data collected by field visit was analysed using SPSS and AMOS. The extended theory of TPB was tested by structured equation modelling using AMOS. It was observed that the variance in segregation intention is better explained by introducing environmental consciousness and awareness in TPB model, proving the model fit of the extended theory TPB.

Keywords: Effluent, Son river, Orient paper mill, Physico-chemical parameters
Abstract: Study of physico-chemical parameters of effluent from Orient paper mill (OPM), Amalai and Son River were selected for assessment of water quality variation. During the study of 10 sampling stations were selected, out which 6 sampling stations were downstream of effluents running toward Son River and 4 sampling stations were in Son River nearby village area. The study was carried out during January to June, 2015. The colours were milky colloidal at sampling station SS-01 (Near first paper mill) and SS-02(Near first boiler tunnel). Effluent was found acidic in nature at sampling stations SS-01 and 02 near OPM. The higher mean values of TSS were 183.8±19.0 and 143.8±1.5mg/L at sampling stations SS-01and SS-02, respectively. The high mean value of alkalinity 239.5±20.7 mg/L was observed at sampling station SS-05. The higher mean values of total dissolve solids (TDS) were 1823±141.7, 1652.7±2.1 and 1086.8±149.7 mg/L at sampling stations SS-04, SS-05 and SS-01 respectively in effluents of OPM. The high mean value of potassium 45±7.3 mg/L was observed at sampling station SS-05. It was observed that the values of total dissolved solid, hardness, calcium and sodium were fluctuated widely from station to stations which were an indication of pollution in paper mill effluent. Water sample of Son river was yellowish in colour at the sampling station SS-07. The higher mean turbidity was found at sampling station SS-01 and SS-02, in effluents of OPM, Amalai during the study.

Abstract: Ambient concentrations of nitrogen oxides (NO2), sulphur dioxide (SO2) and respirable suspended particulate matter (RSPM) were measured from March 2010 to November 2018 in the centers of six sites (Ajmeri gate, Chandpole, Board office Jhalana Dungri, MIA RIICO Office, RO Vidhyadhar Nagar, VKIA) Jaipur, Rajasthan, India. The data consist of monthly average of NO2, SO2 and RSPM. The measurement were made in an effort to characterize air pollution in the urban environment of Jaipur and assist in the development of an air quality index. The yearly average of NO2, SO2 and RSPM concentrated were taken to find out the trend. It is observed that the maximum NO2, SO2 and RSPM was occurred during winter and minimum values were occurred in summer which is due to the combination of metrological conditions and photochemical activities in the region. The ratio of SO2/NO2 (~0.19) indicates that point sources are contributing to SO2 pollution in the city. Further all measured concentration of RSPM exceeded the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) execept for NO2 and SO2. Yearwise trend of NO2, SO2 and RSPM of different station are obtained by using the least square method.

Subject: Water Quality Investigation Of Yamuna River For Assessing Its Impact On Durability Of Concrete Structures Alongwith The Yamuna River Bed
Keywords: Water quality, River pollution, Durability of concrete, Domestic and industrial effluent, Aggressivity
Abstract: Due to rapid industrialization and urbanization, the surface water resources get severely polluted. All the major rivers flowing through the big cities receive heavy flux of sewage and industrial effluent. The river Yamuna is among the most polluted rivers which originate from Yamunotri glaciers (elevation 6300 m) in the Himalayas. The discharge of untreated domestic and industrial effluents has affected the quality of the Yamuna River. The poor water quality makes river water unfit for any purposes. The river water quality also affects the durability aspects of concrete structures along with the river bed. The dual hazards, that is heath and construction, making a severe impact on large numbers of population and structures. Impurities in the form of sewage, dirt and other floating materials contributed to downgrading water quality. At the same time, due to rapid modernization, a large number of upcoming construction projects can be seen in the catchment area of the river. In this scenario, it is important to evaluate its water quality to envisage its effect on concrete durability. The study carried out by CSMRS was focused on the water quality of the Yamuna River and nallahs flowing in the NCR region from Wazirabad to Okhla barrage. The water samples were analysed for in-situ parameters such as pH, total dissolved solids, temperature, conductivity, etc. The samples then brought to the laboratory for conducting detailed chemical analysis as per IS codes procedures. The results of the analysis show that the water quality of the river is degrading with the downstream course. All-important parameters for health and construction point of view are almost above the permissible limits as per standard codes. The water is aggressive towards a durability point of view for concrete structures.

Subject: Cadmium Behaviour In Urban Soils Of Mashhad : Its Impact On Plants And Soil
Keywords: Rosemary, Grass, Soil, Cd toxicity, Urban environment
Abstract: To investigate cadmium (Cd) behaviour in soil due to vehicular traffic under rosemary and grass plants in three urban areas of Mashhad, this study was carried out in a completely randomized design (factorial). In the studied sites, the first 30 cm of upper soil was replaced with new superficial soil (along with compost and cow manure) as control, prior to soil contamination. In four seasons, sampling from soil, shoots and roots of rosemary and grass plants was taken and Cd concentrations were measured. The results showed that the average Cd concentration in control soil (without cultivation) in two sites: 100 m (Mosalla complex) sites and Imam Reza bus terminal during the experiment period increased significantly from spring to winter season, while on the third site: Botanical Garden, soil Cd was almost constant. The highest soil Cd concentration was noted in winter,while in three sites, the soil Cd concentration decreased. The Cd concentration of aerial parts of each plant was significantly different during the seasons. The plant Cd concentration decreased during the spring and summer, while it increased in the autumn and winter season. It is concluded that rosemary cultivation in urban parks is a good candidate for Cd phytostabilization.

Keywords: Hexabromocyclododecane, Aquatic environment, Biomarkers, Fish, Toxicity
Abstract: Aquatic toxicology is considered as an investigation of the effects of toxic substances on living organisms, especially population, culture, environment and biosphere scales. Especially, brominated flame retardants (BFRs) are the type of chemicals typically used to minimize consumer goods flammability and are considered as contaminants as they have become widely detached throughout the atmosphere and have also been shown to bioaccumulate within animals and humans. Moreover, hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD) has been commonly used in interior textiles, car cushions, electrical and electronic equipment, polyvinyl chloride wire, as a flame retardant and is omnipresent in all types of environmental media. Previous studies clearly documented that, these brominated flame retardants are highly toxic not only to fish but also to the other species that form the food chain. Through altering their operational status, the aquatic pollutions cause various deleterious effects on the non-target organism fish predominantly in an aquatic environment. HBCD produces lethal effects on biochemical and haematological, enzyme profile and levels of protein status. In this review, by analysing toxicity levels of toxicants, we have attempted to demonstrate the toxic effects of commonly used brominated flame retardants on uncommon fish species.

Subject: Status Of Municipal Solid Waste Management And Potential Of Waste To Energy In Alwar, Rajasthan
Keywords: Municipal solid waste, Seasonal variation, Calorific value, Waste to energy
Abstract: The municipal solid waste generated in urban areas is creating a severe environmental problem in absence of its proper handling and management. This paper is based on a study related to municipal solid waste management, seasonal variation in waste generation from residential households, total waste generated per day, constituents of solid waste and the potential of waste to energy in Alwar city of Rajasthan. The study has been conducted for more than one year period from May 2018 to May 2019 so as to study the effect of seasonal variation in waste generation including all the seasons of a year. The study area consisted of the whole urban area of Alwar city comprising municipal corporation boundary and it was divided into four zones for the ease of investigation. Each zone of the study area comprised of residential areas. From each zone, 30 samples were collected in a period of three months. The samples were analyzed for their composition and seasonal variation. During the study, the calorific values of the waste material have also been calculated after segregation of reusable and recyclable material and on the same way, analysis of the potential of waste to energy has been carried out. The study indicates that there is an immediate need for proper monitoring at the level of the government to take steps towards segregation, collection, transportation, treatment and disposal of solid waste as per the latest municipal solid waste (management and handling) rules, 2016. Alwar city has a good potential of waste to energy as much as 2.27 Mw and the electricity generated can be utilized either for revenue realization or for electrification in the city by the local body administration of the city.

Keywords: Spring waters, Talssint, Principal component analysis, major elements of pollution
Abstract: For the purpose of the management and conservation of the aquatic environment of spring waters in the Tykomyine-Talssint region of eastern Morocco, principal component analysis (PCA) of physico-chemical parameters and major elements were studied during the low-water period (May of the year 2011). The visualization of the results allowed us to show that the pH, T°, SO42-, Ca2+, Mg2+, K+, Na+ and conductivity are positively correlated with the F1 axis, contrary to the ions: NO3–, Cl– which is associated negatively on the two main axes F1 and F2. Thus the application of the principal component analysis on these results shows that we have two groups of stations: the first group of stations in the positive part of the F1 axis, characterized by waters with high concentrations in pH, T°, SO42-, Ca2+, Mg2+, K+, Na+ and conductivity at the S1 and S5 stations. The second group of stations in the negative part of the F1 axis, characterized by waters with a high concentration of Cl–, NO3– at the station S2. This enrichment in major elements is to be related to the geological context of the studied region.

Keywords: COVID-19, Lockdown, Wildlife protection, Environmental conservation, Impacts of COVID-19
Abstract: This research aims to show the positive and negative impacts of COVID-19 lockdown on wildlife. The study shows that since the lockdown came into effect, there have been improvements in environmental conditions, the resurgence of marine life in coastal waters and privacy for wildlife. On the other hand, the lockdown has also bought some negative impacts, such as increasing in poaching activities, human-wildlife conflicts, hunger issues for urban wildlife and the reopening of wet markets. The study also provides solutions to keep the wildlife safe during and after the lockdown period, such as the use of technology to monitor unauthorized human movements in wildlife parks, providing economic assistance to keep villagers away from wildlife poaching and use of carbon credits to ensure the continued flow of revenue during a time like these. There is a chance that once the lockdown is lifted, all global activities will return and people will go back to their old ways and all the positive impacts of the lockdown will disappear. Hopefully, the current situation will facilitate us to reconsider our way of life and our relationship with nature and encourage us to make the necessary changes that are long pending.

Keywords: Groundwater, physico-chemical parameters, hydrochemical facies, hydrolysis, salinity hazard
Abstract: Groundwaters undergo changes in their chemistry and quality as they pass through rocks, soils and human settlement areas. The modification is manifested in variations in their cation and anion constituents. Attempt has been made to classify groundwater on the basis of their chemistry, the sources of the major ions and to categorize quality of groundwater for irrigation purposes. The physical parameters, such as pH (7.5 average 8.5), EC (400-3268 mmhos/cm) and TDS (1166-2451.25 mg/L) found to be higher in groundwater samples near the sugar factories. Average values of cations and anions were in the order of Ca (107.04 mg/L), Na (67.46 mg/L), Mg (61.31 mg/L), K (11.44 mg/L) and Cl (245.38 mg/L), HCO3 (192.50 mg/L), SO4 (59.51 mg/L), respectively. Average sodium adsorption ratio (SAR) was 1.35. Calcium – magnesium, cation hydrochemical facies is most dominant with 92% followed by 8% of sodium – calcium facies. Anion hydrochemical facies is dominated by chloride – sulphate – bicarbonate facies (65.39%), bicarbonate – chloride – sulphate facies (19.23%) and chloride – sulphate facies (15.38%). The dominance of calcium – sodium facies can be attributed to the leaching or ion-exchange reactions. Because of medium to high salinity hazard ground water is by and large suitable to moderate to high salt tolerant crops demanding for reclamation of soil for better agriculture yield.

Subject: Impact Of Pre-monsoon Cyclonic Storm Fani Along The Coastal Tract Of Odisha : A Geospatial Assessment
Keywords: Cyclone, Fani, Odisha, Chilika, Shoreline, Pre-monsoon
Abstract: The coastal tract of Odisha along the Indian east coast witnessed a rare pre-monsoon severe cyclonic storm Fani on 3rd May 2019. The storm was unique with respect to its timing, strength and trajectory wherein contrary to normal observations, it intensified to a category – 4 cyclones from a tropical depression as it approached the Indian subcontinent. Current research findings portray the impact being catastrophic taking away 64 lives and opening up 4 new mouths along the largest lagoon of Asia, the Chilika. The study indicates noteworthy erosional and accretion activity along the shoreline. These changes are going to affect the sensitive coastal ecosystem of Chilika lagoon due to saline water transgression. Hence, it is suggested that better preparedness, adequate beefed-up infrastructure as well as eco-sensitive measures, such as cyclone-resistant plantations should be given a thrust for sustainable management of this susceptible coastal tract.

Subject: Topographical, Pedological And Physico-Chemical Analysis Of Various Soil Samples For Wheat, Barley And Mustard Production At Dehradun
Keywords: Topography, Pedology, Soil, Minerals, Physico-chemical parameters
Abstract: Soil study was carried out at two sites of the Sahasthdhara region of Dehradun in order to know the exact relation between the soil minerals and the type of crop which could be cultivated here. The concerned region was analyzed for the topographical, pedological and physico-chemical analysis. In the study, it had been found that the concerned region is suitable for the cultivation of wheat and barley. The whole region of Dehradun has a temperate climate and the selected sites were found in a good condition for the cultivation of wheat and barley. The two sites have an appropriate soil particle size, particle density, particle porosity, pH, conducting salts, mineral composition and other factors. The Sahasthdhara region is well fertile and multiple crop cultivation especially wheat and barley could be carried out very easily.

Subject: Assessment Of Physico-Chemical Quality Of Groundwater In The Plain Of Bahira (Basin Oum Errabia)
Keywords: Scholler, Facies, Major chemical elements, Alkalization, Groundwater, Bahira
Abstract: The present work aims to evaluate the physical and chemical quality of groundwater in the plain of Bahira pouring in Oum Errabia and on the other hand prevent the risk of alkalization and salinization in the study area. 11 water points were sampled with 22 samples distributed as follows: 11 samples in the period of February 2017 and 11 samples during the period of August 2017 for pH, conductivity, eight major chemical elements (NO3–, Cl-, Na+, HCO3–, Ca2+, Mg2+, K+ and SO42-). Also, Piper, Scholler and Wilcox diagrams were used. The results show the water wells P1, P2, P4, P5, P8 and P10 are characterized by geochemical facies sodium chloride and potassium or calcium sulphate and chloride-facies and calcium and magnesium sulphate to the wells P3, P6, P7, P9 and P11. According to the Wilcox diagram waters are good, acceptable for agriculture according to the distribution of wells in the area. The analysis of the overall water quality revealed that contents of bicarbonates, calcium and sodium exceed the standards.
