In this paper, the contamination level of fourteen elements (Al, Ca, Mg, V, Ti, Na, Mn, As, Br, La, Sm, Sc, U, Yb) from different soil samples of the nuclear reactor surrounding areas in Savar, Bangladesh was investigated with instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA) method. Generally, neutron activation is most …
The absence of any systematic study by Indian or foreign scientists has left sufficient room for wide and wild speculation on the probable causes of high incidence of cancer in parts of Punjab The scourge of Malwa It is well known in Punjab that the Malwa region shows a very …
SP Sharma Tribune News Service FARIDKOT: Armed with the report of the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC) declaring the gamma radiation and radioactivity levels in the soil samples within the permissible levels here, the medical fraternity has put a question mark on the claim of a local NGO that high …
Yudhvir Rana | TNN Amritsar: Had the government acted on a Guru Nanak Dev University (GNDU) report released in 1995, confirming presence of uranium and other heavy metals beyond permissible limits in water samples collected from Bathinda, preventive measures could have been put in place. This is what a GNDU …
Sample Of Nullah Opening Into Satluj Tests Positive For High Uranium Content: German Lab I P Singh | TNN Faridkot: In the wake of discovery of high level of uranium and other heavy metals in hair samples of 80% of 149 neurologically-disabled children, samples of five children from worst-affected village …
Chemical, Radiation & Biological Toxicity Rampant, Says Study Balwant Garg | TNN Bathinda: After discovery of high levels of uranium in hair samples of a large number of mentally retarded children in Punjab
DR Dogra For any large developing economy, the state of its metals and mining industry is of great significance, given the immense positive externalities the industry holds for infrastructure, engineering and other core sectors. As economic growth follows an S-curve, the initial stage of this growth needs to be led …
Although the toxic effects of metals, such as arsenic, cadmium, lead, and mercury, have been well established for higher level exposures, the demonstration of population-wide harmful effects at lower concentrations has been more difficult. One possible reason for this is that at comparatively lower levels of exposure, only some people …
Removal of Cd(II), Pb(II), Hg(II), Mn(II), Ni(II) and Zn(II) by chemically (Na2S) treated granular activated carbon (GAC)has been found to be concentration, pH, contact time, adsorbent dose and temperature dependent. Adsorption isotherm studiesindicated that adsorptive behaviour of metal ions on chemically treated GAC satisfies Langmuir assumptions. Proposed methodhad potential application …
A green-house experiment on three sub-tropical semi-arid soils was conducted to investigate the effect of different sludge types of coca-cola soft drink industry viz. water treatment plant sludge (WTS), effluent treatment plant sludge (ETPS) and filter cake sludge (FCS) applied @1.0, 2.0 and 4.0 per cent on dry matter yield …
Effect of long-term irrigation with treated sewage water was studied on changes in soil pH, electrical conductivity, cation exchange capacity, organic carbon, available macro and micro nutrients and the contents of toxic heavy metals. The soils receiving treated sewage water for irrigation had lower pH than the adjacent control soils …
Water has an overwhelming impact on all aspects of Kerala's life. Being one of the most densely populated states, a balanced use of water, without jeopardizing long-term sustainability is imperative. Monitoring qualitative changes and identifying factors leading to such changes thus becomes extremely important. Science and technology plays an important …
In vitro bioaccessibility (IVBA) studies were carried out on samples of mercury (Hg) mine-waste calcine (roasted Hg ore) by leaching with simulated human body fluids. The objective was to estimate potential human exposure to Hg due to inhalation of airborne calcine particulates and hand-to-mouth ingestion of Hg-bearing calcines. Mine waste …
soil and rock layer composition is governed by human activities such as disposal of factory and domestic wastes, construction and vehicular pollution. These change the magnetic properties of the soil particles. A recent study by geologists from the University of Pune measured the soil’s magnetism in the Pune metropolitan region …
