Subject: Effect of Nitrogen limitation on lipids accumulation in Scenedesmus dimorphus
Keywords: Scenedesmus dimorphus, Photo-bioreactor, lipid, nitrogen, algae, nutrient stress
Abstract: The lipid accumulating potential of Scendesmus dimorphus was investigated using modified Bold's basal medium (BBM) with NaNO3 serving as nitrogen source. The alga species Scenedesmus dimorphus showed a lipid content of 21.4% when grown under normal growth condition in continuous mode. The average lipid productivity during the log phase of cultivation was 0.0107 g/Ld. The photo-bioreactor was illuminated at a light intensity of 110 ±5 µmol/m2s with a light/dark cycle of 12:12 hr, respectively. The reactor temperature was maintained at 26± 1°C, while the pH ranged between 7.8 ±0.2 during the investigation. Scenedesmus dimorphus when stressed exhibited its ability to undergo tactical changes in photosynthetic carbon partitioning and thus altering its cellular composition leading to lipid accumulation. The effect of nitrogen limitation on Scenedesmus dimorphus was investigated in batch process. The optimum nitrogen dosage was found to be 3.53 mM/L as NaNO3-. Thus, a compromise has to be reached in obtaining between the algal lipid content and its growth pattern, in order to achieve a high lipid accumulation. With the manipulation of nitrogen availability, we demonstrated that highest yields of lipid 0.0325 g/Ld, is achievable in nitrogen limiting condition at 3.53 mM/L with a lipid content of 36%.

Subject: Use of chemical pesticides and its environmental occurrence in the soil, water and on health; a study on Hansqua tea estate area of West Bengal
Keywords: Chemical pesticides, physico-chemical parameters,soil,water, health hazard, Environment
Abstract: The entire North Bengal is famous for the 3t's-Tea, tourism and timber contributing extensively towards the socio-economic development of the region. Tea in this area is famous worldwide for its affluent essence, colour and taste. Here tea industry is the major one yielding high profit. Tea workers are directed to use chemical fertilizers and pesticides for the better profit in the tea gardens of this region which ultimately affects the soil, surrounding water, human health as well as whole environment. The local environment is gradually deteriorating continuously due to frequent use of chemical materials as pesticides are used for the high yield and pest control. The most popular chemical pesticides used are ethion, quinalphos, sulphur, fenazaquin,bifenthrin,propargite, fenvaerate, etc. Besides these simazine, paraquat, oxyfluorfen, emamectin benzoate, etc., are also sed by all the tea cultivators in different ratios. Most of the chemical pesticides are not easily degraded and remain in the soil for a long period causing soil pollution as well as the environment. Surrounding water was also found to be degraded to some extent due to frequent use of pesticides in the studied area. The present study also shows serious impact of chemical pesticides upon the health of tea workers.

Subject: Facile synthesis, characteization and appliation o magnetic nano composites in sequestration of textile dye
Keywords: Prosopis juliflora bark activated carbon, cobalt ferrite, magnetic nanocomposite, adsorption, direct brown 2, dye removal
Abstract: Prosopis juliflora bark activated carbon-cobalt ferrite magnetic composite (PJBAC-CFC) was synthesised by the auto-combustion method and employed for the removal of direct brown2 (DB2) from aqueous solutions. Th prepared composite was characterized by powder XRD, SEM, EDAX, AFM, N2 adsorption-desorption isotherm and magnetization measurement. Operating factors influencing the rate adsorption, namely initial dye concentrations, doses of sorbent materials, present time intervals, variable pH and temperature environments are substantiated by batch equilibration method. Adsorption is observed to be more pronounced at pH 2. The magnetized composite material exhibited enhanced sorption characteristics. The isothermal adsorption data fit well with Freundlich isotherms. Kinetic studies favour the system to follow the second order. The outcome of the present work indicates that Prosopis juliflora bark activated carbon-cobalt ferrite magnetic composite can be effectively used as cost-effective potential adsorbent for trapping the dye molecules.

Keywords: Stabilization, compaction, CBR, plastic strips, pollution
Abstract: Soil stabilization improves the physical properties, like shear strength, bearing capacity and stability of soil. This can be done by the use of waste material so that the waste material can be utilized in a good way with the use of some new techniques compaction and addition of suitable admixture, etc). This technique can be effectively used to meet certain challenges. In hilly regions, it is very important to stabilize the soil to reduce the chances of natural causes, like land sliding, soil erosion. Plastic is one of the waste materials which are non-biodegradable so that it can be used to stabilize the soil. It is helpful in both ways-To reduce pollution and to stabilize the soil. Plastic bag strips can be used to reinforce the soil by mixing it with the soil and compact it with a mechanical technique which increases the CBR value of the soil. The result of the CBR test shows that the use of plastic strips increases the strength of the soil effectively.

Subject: Torism influx apotential noise pollution threat: A case study of Udaipur
Keywords: Environmntal problems, Tourism, Noise pollution, equivalent noise level
Abstract: The rapid development in the tourism industry is directly or indirectly increasing environmental problems of increasing noise level. Noise is an important pollutant of Environemtal causing various health hazards. The paper discusses the noise pollution status of an important aesthetic, recreational and commercial tourist destination-Fateh Sagar Lake and Pichola Lake, in the district Udaipur of Rajasthan, in peak tourist season compared with lean tourist season in the year. It examines the noise levels caused due to various sources at the site and evaluates the conclusions drawn. The results of noise level monitoring revealed the fact that due to a higher amount of tourist in peak tourist season noise level monitoring revealed the fact that due to a higher amount of tourist in peak tourist season noise level was enhanced. The average equivalent noise level was increased from 65.2 dB to 79.7 dB (a) and 64.82 dB to 77.28 dB 9A) from lean to peak tourist season, at Fateh Sagar Lake and Pichola Lake, respectively. The highest equivalent noise levels during peak days at Fateh Sagar is79.7 dB at 20:00 hour which was 22.23 % higher in comparison with lan days and 44.90% higher than the standard of Central pollution Control Board (CPCB).Similarly, the highest equivalent noise levels in Pichola during peak days was 77.28 dB (A) at 20:00 hour which was 19% higher in comparison with lean days and 40% higher than the standard o Central Pollution Control Board (New Delhi) on comparing the noise levels of lean and peak seasons. The p value (2 tailed) is equivalent to 0.0007, through standard criteria, this variation is situated to be exceptionally statistically significant. This scientific pursuit clearly indicates that the noise pollution is directly proportional to the tourist influx at the two tourist destinations in Udaipur city.

Abstract: The quality of water is of vital concern for mankind since it is directly linked with human welfare. The tremendous increase in industrial activity during the last few decades and the release of obnoxius industrial wastes into the environment have been o considerable concern in recent years from the point of view of Environmental pollution. Environmental pollution on one hand and deforestation and population explosion on the other, are threatening the very existence of life on earth. At present, the menace of water-borne diseases and epidemics still looms at large on the horizons of developing countries. Polluted water is the culprit in all such cases. The major sources of water pollution ae domestic waste from urban and rural areas and industrial wastes which are discharged into natural water bodies. The physical condition of water (colour, taste and odour) might render it undrinkable.

Subject: Heavy metal concentrations in soils and sediments of Visakhapatnam mangroves with special references to pollution risk
Keywords: Mangrooves, tidal creek, sedimentquality, heavy metal pollution, ecological risk index.
Abstract: Distribution of metals in water bodies may consequently be accumulated in sediment and soil because of low solubility after that become sensitivity indicator for mangroves. Heavy metal pollution due to sewage and industrial effluents was recognized as a serious threat to mangrove ecosystems. Visakhapatnam intertidal creek, Vishakhapatnam Port entrance Channe (VEC), is one such area receiving huge quantities of city sewage and from the nearby industrial zone, which includes petrochemical and fertilizer industries. All these discharges reach the entrance channel through various branches of the Meghadri Gedda, a small river drain. The present study reports the heavy metals accumulated in the soils of the mangrove region and sediments of the drain beds associated with the Visakhapatnam Entrance Channel in an attempt to compare with the available guidelines related to soil and sediments of the coastal wetlands. About six heavy metal pollutants concentrations (Cd, Cr, Cu,Mn,Pb,Zn) were recorded from the Visakhapatnam Entrance Channel soils and sediments and the ecological risk of these metals was computed based on the risk indicators. Results of the study revealed that the accumulation of metals in the sediment was relatively high compared to that in soils. The ecological risk potential (Eir) recorded was in the order of Cd>Pb>Cr>Mn>Zn>Cu indicating that the ecological risk from Cd was high. The study suggests the need for the development of coastal and marine sediment quality guidelines for India.

Keywords: Plantations, carbon sequestration, Hevea brasiliensis, Kanyakumari, CO2 mitigation
Abstract: The effects of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations and mitigation of CO2 attracted attention and found a place in the budget of different states all over the world. Co2 mitigation gained prominenece from the second half of the 20 centuries with initiatives taken by the institutions of international importance. Biotic and abiotic sequestration techniques are validated with additionality, permanence and leakage and biotic carbon sequestration through terretrial ecosystems was identified as a viable option due to its low cost. In this context, the present paper attempted to estimate the carbon sequestration potential of Hevea brasiliensis plantations in Kanyakumari, the southern-most district of India. The development of market mechanism for sequestered carbon widened the investment opportunities and provides economics incentives to the plantares in counties enormous forest resources. The carbon flux of plantations will provide a time span for policy makers to arrive at a convincing solution for sustainable development.

Subject: An overview of vaious methods available for the removal of poly aromatic hydrocarbons -A review
Keywords: Overview, removal ofpoly aromatic hydrocarbons
Abstract: Poly-aromatic hydrocarbons, the structurally related chemicals consist of aromatic rings with no substitution. They are a very potent class of environmental pollutants causing harmful effects to the environment. The paper describes the removal of poly-aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) from wastewater and soil contaminants by using various techniques, such as physico-chemical methods, biological treatment, UV treatment, ozone treatment and photo catalytic degradation. The stuyd involves the evaluation of best technique employed for the removal of poly-aromatic hydrocarbons from the environment.
