Reduction of toxicity from aqueous solution by low cost adsorbent: RSM method...Premier Publishers
Heavy metal pollution of waste water is a common environmental hazard, since the toxic metal ions dissolved can ultimately reach the top of the food chain and thus become a risk factor for human health. Chromium is present in waste water as trivalent and hexavalent. Trivalent chromium is relatively less toxic and less mobile while hexavalent chromium is toxic, carcinogenic, and mutagenic to animals as well as humans. Therefore, the removal of Cr (VI) from industrial waste water has been a research topic of great interest. In the present study carried out the comparative study of removal of the chromium (VI) from waste water by adsorption method. The search for new technologies involving the removal of toxic metals from wastewaters has directed attention to adsorption, based on metal binding capacities of various materials.

Adsorption of surfactant on pyrite mineral and degradation of pyrene by pyrit...Meherunnesha (Nishat)
This thesis presentation summarizes research on using pyrite to remediate environmental contamination. Two scenarios were studied: 1) adsorption of surfactant on pyrite surfaces, and 2) degradation of pyrene by pyrite-Fenton reactions. For scenario 1, maximum surfactant adsorption occurred near pyrite's point of zero charge, and adsorption decreased with increasing or decreasing pH. For scenario 2, pyrene degradation by pyrite-Fenton reactions reached 100% within 90 minutes, while classic Fenton reactions only achieved 68% degradation. Pyrite is thus an effective mineral for remediating surfactant and pyrene contamination.

Soil samples were collected from sites with POME discharge (locations A) and without POME discharge (locations B). Physicochemical analysis found higher levels of COD, BOD, nutrients and lower pH in location A soils, indicating pollution from POME. Microbial analysis identified higher counts of Pseudomonas, Bacillus and fungi in location A soils. While POME increased soil nutrients, it also decreased microbial populations and made the soil dark, damp, and prevented vegetation growth due to pollution. The study concludes POME significantly impacts soil properties and quality.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
Temple of Asclepius in Thrace. Excavation resultsKrassimira Luka
The temple and the sanctuary around were dedicated to Asklepios Zmidrenus. This name has been known since 1875 when an inscription dedicated to him was discovered in Rome. The inscription is dated in 227 AD and was left by soldiers originating from the city of Philippopolis (modern Plovdiv).
