Climate change makes people to be aware about the environmental pollutions in aspect of Air, Water and Soil components. The environmentally aware countries have forced the other countries to implement the stringent effluent standards for disposal into water stream / water bodies. Hence, modern technology like the application of membrane separation (Micro or Ultra filtration) technique with biol...

The choice of management practices for the treatment of piggery effluent prior to its disposal to waterways or land is governed by the desire to simultaneously minimise the cost of treatment whilst minimising pollution of the environment. Laboratory experiments were conducted to compare the removal of total and total filterable phosphorus (P) (<0.45 microm) from ortho-phosphate solutions or pig...

Fish were collected from Nath Sagar, Paithan 50 kms away from Aurangabad and were brought to the laboratory and exposed to industrial effluent (tannery effluent). Behavioral changes and responses of the fish to the tannery effluent were observed. Control fish showed normal behaviour and swimming in contrast the effluent exposed fish showed abnormal swimming, loss of equilibrium, fading of colou...

abstract to study the effects of sewage sludge on tomato seedling growth, a series of pot experiments, each pot containing 17 kg soil, were conducted in a randomized complete design with eight replications. treatments used were: 5 levels of sewage sludge (5, 10, 20, 30 and 40 tons/ha) and two control treatments (t1, without sewage sludge and t2, sewage sludge + complete fertilizers). analysis o...

The aim of the study was to investigate distribution, enrichment and accumulation of heavy metals in soil and Trigonella foenum-graecum (var. Pusa Early Bunching) after fertigation with paper mill effluent. Doses of paper mill effluent viz. 5%, 10%, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% were used for fertigation of T. foenum-graecum along with bore well water (control). The results revealed that paper mill ef...

In the present study effect of fertilizer factory effluent on seed germination, seedling growth and chlorophyll content of gram (Cicer aeritenum) has been carried out, at different concentration of the effluent and time intervals. The effluent is alkaline in nature with strong ammonia odour. The germination percentage of seed, seedling growth and chlorophyll content showed a gradual decline wit...

C. 2. c. EFFLUENT VERSUS ABSORPTION AREA WATER QUALITY DURING THE RESEARCH STUDY Hydrogen ion concentrations (pH), EC values, and chloride ion concentrations remained consistent between effluent and subsystems samples each year. Effluent nitrate-N concentrations were lower and ammonium-N concentrations higher than those concentrations found within either subsystem in the absorption area. This w...

Worldwide, wild fish living in rivers receiving municipal and industrial discharges may experience endocrine disruption as a result of exposure to anthropogenic pollutants. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the hormonal status of wild fish in a U.S. river receiving unbleached kraft and recycled pulp mill effluent (Pearl River at Bogalusa, LA). We evaluated two alternative hypotheses: th...
