abstract

the sources of groundwater pollution such as, industrial effluents, sewage and extensive farming have lead to agrochemical pollution. mathematical modeling helps to analyze the existing situation, allows forecasting, and to evaluate the effects of changes in the surrounding water quality. the present research has been focused mainly towards understanding the various processes affecting the transport of chemicals in soils. dispersion coefficient for the sandy loam soil was found to be 0.247 m2/d, 0.150 m2/d and 0.01 m2/d for nitrates, phosphates and chlorpyriphos through column, and 0.337 m2/d, 0.217 m2/d and 0.077 m2/d for nitrates, phosphates and chlorpyriphos through channel studies, respectively. for similar analysis of the breakthrough curves, dispersion coefficient for the clay soil was found to be 0.0835 m2/d, 0.0632 m2/d and 0.008 m2/d for nitrates, phosphates and chlorpyriphos through column and 0.147 m2/d , 0.0848m2/d and 0.022 m2/d for nitrates, phosphates and chlorpyriphos through channel studies, respectively. the one-dimensional analytical model has been used and validated with the experimental data obtained from column and channel studies in sandy loam and clay soils and compared with model output (in which total elimination rate “k” is considered as zero). from this a variation of about 40-60 percent in the leaching characteristics of pollutants was being observed (nitrates, phosphates and chlorpyriphos).

Remediation of ozone pollution by ornamental plants in indoor environment

The indoor air quality is much more matter of concern as relative to ambient or outdoor air quality, especially in the context of human health.  However, very few studies have been reported for remediation of indoor ozone by plant species. The main objective of this study is to evaluate ozone deposition velocities and ozone removal effectiveness of three indoor ornamental plant species (Dra...

Migration of radionuclide in soil and plants in the Western Ghats environment

Background: A study on the migration characteristics of 238U, 210Po, 232Th and 40K within the soil to the wild plants in the Western Ghats were carried out. Materials and Methods: Concentrations of these radionuclides were measured in different depths of soil and from different species by employing gamma ray spectrometer and alpha counter. Results: The activity concentration of these r...
