Abstract: In the present paper, the effect of urban roadside air pollution on the epiphytic micro flora was studied on three most common plants of urban area i.e. Ficus religiosa, Ficus benghalensis and Anthocephalus cadamba at Kolkata. The increasing rate of vehicles day by day simultaneously increases the pollution level in air and the dust settled down on the phylloplane of those plants. In this study, samples were collected from Dunlop (direct roadside) and Rajarhat (from at least 500-750 meter away from direct roadside or non-roadside sites).Results showed a marked reduction of the microbial count on the roadside environment than the non-roadside environment............

Abstract: The construction of new roads, continuous rise in population and rural urban migration, has given rise to urban sprawl in cities, and such has happened to the Nairobi Metropolitan. This urban sprawl follows areas where there is a good communication network, among other factors, leading to the conversion of the initial land uses to settlement in the outskirts of urban centers where land is available. The same scenario obtains in this area of interest. Remote Sensing techniques and geographic information systems (GIS), were used in this study to track various land use changes over a period of fourteen years. This was done using Landsat 7 ETM+ images for year 2000 and 2009 and Landsat 8 OLIS-TIRS for year 2016............

Abstract: Hydrocarbons enter into environment mainly via waste disposal, accidental spillage and leakage tankers. Hydrocarbon toxicity is caused by low boiling point aromatic hydrocarbons including benzene, toluene, xylene, naphthalene etc. and the toxicity is spread in almost all compartment of environment e.g., plants by damaging protoplast, animals by causing various lung diseases and cancers and atmosphere by decomposing the ozone layer and it can be prevented also by using hydrocarbon degrading microorganisms. In this investigation, at first 6 hydrocarbon degrading bacterial strains were isolated from oil contaminated soil near a petrol pump of petrochemical industries at Budge Budge, Kolkata............

Abstract: Assessment of the influence of three processing methods [fermentation, roasting (dry heat treatment), and boiling (wet heat treatment)] of the seeds of Telfairia occidentalis (fluted pumpkin) and Treculia africana (African breadfruit) was carried out at varying durations. Fermentation for 36 hours led to increases in moisture, protein and carbohydrate of seeds of both plants. Ash, crude fat and fibre declined with increasing duration of fermentation. The levels of the anti-nutrients assessed were also lowered during fermentation. In T. occidentalis, tannins dropped from 221.01mg/100g to 143.29mg/100g; phytate, from 66.59mg/100g to 21.33mg/100g and alkaloid from 18.32mg/100g to 5.23mg/100g. Oxalates followed the same trend. In T. africana, tannins were not affected...........

Abstract: Burning tobacco is the main source of indoor pollution in the developed world. Tobacco smoke contains about 4,000 chemicals including carcinogens, irritants and toxic gases. Nicotine, benzene and benzo(a)pyrene. The gas phase includes carbon monoxide, ammonia, dimethylnitrosamine, formaldehyde, hydrogen cyanide and acrolein. Methyl bromide, an ozone-depleting chemical commonly used to fumigate the soil prior planting tobacco seedlings. Tobacco growers are susceptible to an occupational illness known as green tobacco sickness. This is caused by the absorption of nicotine through the skin from contact with wet tobacco leaves. Nicotine is a risk factor for oral cancer,adult periodontal diseases and congenital defects such as cleft lip and palate in children. Nicotine causes heart arteries to harden, tend to shrink , thickening of blood. increases chlorestrol deposistion..........

Abstract: The impact of soil types and characteristics on the growth rateofyam seedlings has been presented. Yam seedlings were planted in two columns consisting of six different soil types and soil electrical resistivity variations due to variabilities in soil properties were measured to monitor growth rates in the different soil types for a period of 8 weeks using 2D electrical resistivity tomography (ERT).Result shows high rate of growth for organic rich and well-structured soils than organic deficient and clayish soils. This is attributed to structure, moisture content and nutrient supply of the soil type to crop growth.2D resistivity inverse sections reveal that column 1 exhibit higher resistivity anomalies than column 2 in the study, which is attributed to varying water-holding capacity of the different soil types in each column............

Abstract: Wood, one of the most abundant raw materials in the world used by the human society for industrial products and energy, is the secondary xylem of vascular plants. Wood is typically composed of about 25% lignin, 70% cellulosic carbohydrates, with roughly 45% cellulose and 25% hemicelluloses. Lignin is a complex phenolic polymer that provides mechanical strength to the trees. Lignin's physical and chemical properties also serve as a barrier against the invasion of pests and pathogens. But some microorganisms are capable of lignin degradation, which comes as one of the biggest threats. These include bacteria as well as fungi. So methods of protecting wood from these microbes are being looked for..........

Abstract: Industrial evolution has generated unprecedented disturbances in the environment due to the introduction of anthropogenic pollutants such as organic, inorganic and xenobiotic chemicals in the form of untreated industrial waste water. The tannery effluent wastes are ranked as high pollutants among all other industrial wastes. Tannery industrial wastewater is a serious consequence from the pollution point of view of streams, freshwater and land used for agriculture. The lack of awareness in the modern industrial practice has resulted in the discharge of tannery effluents which exhibit very high value for chromium, sulphide and Chloride. Chromium is known to be one of the most common inorganic contaminants of groundwater at pollutant hazardous sites............
