Climate Change And Environmental SecurityJosh Gellers
This document discusses reconciling realism with environmental security by expanding the causal linkages between climate change and security issues. It argues that realism can accommodate environmental security by treating climate change as a threat multiplier that increases risks like civil unrest, economic downturns, and reduced crop yields. The document also analyzes existing typologies of direct versus indirect threats and territorial versus extraterritorial risks from climate change impacts. Finally, it proposes a comprehensive policy approach to conceptualizing the environment-security relationship and provides an example of how drought in West Africa caused by climate change could indirectly and extraterritorially impact U.S. security through foreign destabilization.

CAG is happy to present the Cartoon book "Do you know?"!! The book aims to demystify and educate communities and general public on the administrative and environmental regulations and laws on the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Process, with specific reference to Thermal Power Plants (TPPs). The people can learn while they read the comics with their family!
This document provides an overview of environmental impact assessment processes and requirements. It discusses the types of natural and man-made resources that are considered in EIAs, as well as the desired products, undesired wastes, and life cycle analysis involved. It also outlines the steps in the EIA process, requirements for EIA organizations, methodology, sector categorization including for thermal power projects, and some potential procedural violations.
The document summarizes India's environmental regulations and policies. It discusses the importance of environmental protection being enshrined in the Indian constitution. It then outlines several key acts and regulations related to general environmental protection, forests and wildlife, water, air and more. These acts establish agencies like the Central Pollution Control Board and National Green Tribunal to oversee environmental compliance. The document also discusses policies like the National Water Policy and Forest Policy and how they aim to integrate environmental concerns into development planning.
The document announces a training program for trainers on the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) process that will take place at the Madras School of Economics in Chennai on March 27, 2015 and is organized by the Citizen consumer and civic Action Group.
This document outlines the public consultation process for projects in India. It discusses who can participate, which includes local residents, welfare groups, and environmental groups near the project site. The public consultation process has three main steps: 1) the proponent requests a public hearing, 2) the pollution control board announces the hearing details, and 3) the board completes the consultation and submits a report. The public hearing allows the proponent to present the project and address questions, comments, and concerns from participants. Following the hearing, a report is produced summarizing the issues raised, responses, and ensuring the process was adequately publicized.
The document summarizes key areas for strengthening electricity regulations in Tamil Nadu to improve service quality for domestic consumers. It identifies issues with access to services, metering and billing practices, distribution standards and compensation, reliability of supply, and consumer grievance redressal. There is a lack of awareness among both electricity board officials and consumers about existing regulations and procedures. Monitoring of compliance is also inadequate. Strengthening regulations in these areas could help enhance service quality for domestic electricity users.
The Tamil Nadu electricity sector faces major challenges including a shortage of 4000 MW of generation capacity due to delays in projects obtaining clearances and facing land acquisition and fuel issues. Transmission is inadequate with 18.5% projected transmission and distribution losses. Distribution faces high operational costs due to subsidies, theft, and a large number of non-functional meters. Institutional factors like manpower shortages and a lack of technical knowledge also hamper the sector. Ultimately, significant changes may only occur if consumers demand better service and the political system improves accountability of utilities and independence of the regulator.
Consumers perception on service quality in electricity sectorconsumeractiongroup
This document summarizes a study on consumers' perceptions of service quality in the electricity sector in Tamil Nadu. A survey found that while most had metered connections, many faced issues getting connections due to lack of transparency on requirements. Most were satisfied with meter quality but many complained of frequent power cuts, low voltage, and fluctuations. Few were aware of complaint redress mechanisms like the Consumer Grievance Redress Forums (CGRFs). RTI responses showed CGRFs had few members and complaints. Recommendations included improving connection documentation, maintenance standards, awareness of redress options, and regular CGRF sittings.
The document summarizes key facts about electricity planning and gaps in Tamil Nadu. It finds that:
1) There is a large gap between electricity demand and supply in TN, with demand at 12,000 MW but supply only at 8,000 MW and projected T&D losses of 18.5%.
2) TN's state utility TANGEDCO plans energy based on its own projections of annual growth rate rather than those of the Central Electricity Authority, and it is unclear which projections are more reliable.
3) TANGEDCO has consistently failed to deliver on its promised capacity additions, installing only 127.5 MW of the 4,640 MW proposed for 2011-2012. This is

As a result, a field pilot study has commenced with results expected in nine-twelve months. With the results of the hydraulic study, field pilot studies and an updated risk assessment leading site monitoring optimization cost lifecycle savings upwards of $15MM towards an alternatively evolved best available technology remediation closure strategy.
Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.
Kinetic studies on malachite green dye adsorption from aqueous solutions by A...Open Access Research Paper
Water polluted by dyestuffs compounds is a global threat to health and the environment; accordingly, we prepared a green novel sorbent chemical and Physical system from an algae, chitosan and chitosan nanoparticle and impregnated with algae with chitosan nanocomposite for the sorption of Malachite green dye from water. The algae with chitosan nanocomposite by a simple method and used as a recyclable and effective adsorbent for the removal of malachite green dye from aqueous solutions. Algae, chitosan, chitosan nanoparticle and algae with chitosan nanocomposite were characterized using different physicochemical methods. The functional groups and chemical compounds found in algae, chitosan, chitosan algae, chitosan nanoparticle, and chitosan nanoparticle with algae were identified using FTIR, SEM, and TGADTA/DTG techniques. The optimal adsorption conditions, different dosages, pH and Temperature the amount of algae with chitosan nanocomposite were determined. At optimized conditions and the batch equilibrium studies more than 99% of the dye was removed. The adsorption process data matched well kinetics showed that the reaction order for dye varied with pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order. Furthermore, the maximum adsorption capacity of the algae with chitosan nanocomposite toward malachite green dye reached as high as 15.5mg/g, respectively. Finally, multiple times reusing of algae with chitosan nanocomposite and removing dye from a real wastewater has made it a promising and attractive option for further practical applications.
Optimizing Post Remediation Groundwater Performance with Enhanced Microbiolog...Joshua Orris
Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.
Microbial characterisation and identification, and potability of River Kuywa ...Open Access Research Paper
Water contamination is one of the major causes of water borne diseases worldwide. In Kenya, approximately 43% of people lack access to potable water due to human contamination. River Kuywa water is currently experiencing contamination due to human activities. Its water is widely used for domestic, agricultural, industrial and recreational purposes. This study aimed at characterizing bacteria and fungi in river Kuywa water. Water samples were randomly collected from four sites of the river: site A (Matisi), site B (Ngwelo), site C (Nzoia water pump) and site D (Chalicha), during the dry season (January-March 2018) and wet season (April-July 2018) and were transported to Maseno University Microbiology and plant pathology laboratory for analysis. The characterization and identification of bacteria and fungi were carried out using standard microbiological techniques. Nine bacterial genera and three fungi were identified from Kuywa river water. Clostridium spp., Staphylococcus spp., Enterobacter spp., Streptococcus spp., E. coli, Klebsiella spp., Shigella spp., Proteus spp. and Salmonella spp. Fungi were Fusarium oxysporum, Aspergillus flavus complex and Penicillium species. Wet season recorded highest bacterial and fungal counts (6.61-7.66 and 3.83-6.75cfu/ml) respectively. The results indicated that the river Kuywa water is polluted and therefore unsafe for human consumption before treatment. It is therefore recommended that the communities to ensure that they boil water especially for drinking.
