Presentation on health hazards by em wavesRajat Soni
This presentation summarizes the health hazards posed by electromagnetic waves. It discusses how radiation is divided into ionizing and non-ionizing categories. The electromagnetic spectrum is shown ranging from gamma rays to radio waves. Biological hazards from radiation include burns and skin cancer from high levels. Extremely high power levels can induce electric currents strong enough to cause electric shocks or sparks. Different frequency ranges are known to have specific effects, such as microwaves causing heating, burning or blistering at high power levels. Population studies have found some associations between electromagnetic field exposure and general health issues or specific conditions like ALS. International safety standards are set by organizations like the WHO.
EMF (electromagnetic fields) come from both natural and man-made sources and can be categorized as either ionizing or non-ionizing radiation. Non-ionizing radiation is unlikely to cause cancer but can pose risks to eyes and skin with excessive exposure, while even low doses of ionizing radiation can damage living tissue and cause cancer or genetic mutations. Common sources of EMF include power lines, appliances, cell phones and towers, WiFi routers, medical devices, and certain building materials. To reduce health risks, the document recommends monitoring EMF levels and limiting daily exposure.

The document discusses the growing prevalence of RF radiation from wireless technologies and the health and safety challenges this poses. It notes that RF radiation transmitting antennas are now located in many places, and many workers must perform jobs near them without proper training. There are also no uniform national standards for mapping facilities, inspections, or ensuring all stakeholders participate in safety. The document outlines the differences between ionizing and non-ionizing radiation and some of the potential health effects of various types. It stresses the importance of RF radiation training for workers and implementing a national safety protocol to protect those who work near transmitting antennas.
Cell phones emit radiofrequency energy or electromagnetic radiation when in use. Around 50% of this radiation can be absorbed by the head and body. There are two forms of electromagnetic radiation - near field intensity radiation, which is absorbed within one wavelength of the source and is a major health concern, and far field intensity radiation, which is absorbed beyond one wavelength and is required for communication. While some studies show a concern for health risks from near field intensity exposure, the conclusion is that marginal cell phone use has not been shown to increase cancer risk.
The document discusses the electromagnetic spectrum. It describes how:
1) The electromagnetic spectrum includes all types of electromagnetic waves ranging from radio waves to gamma rays, ordered by increasing frequency.
2) Electromagnetic waves consist of oscillating electric and magnetic fields and all travel at the speed of light.
3) Properties like frequency and wavelength are inversely related, with higher frequency waves having shorter wavelengths and higher energy.

Mobile phone radiation can potentially affect human health. While some studies have found no adverse health effects from radio frequency emissions, others have raised questions that require further research. The amount of radiation exposure from a phone depends on factors like call duration and distance from cell towers. High doses of radiation have been linked to increased cancer risks and damage to eyes, thyroid, lungs, stomach, reproductive organs, skin, and bone marrow. Users can reduce their exposure by carrying phones away from the body, texting more, and using headsets or speakerphone.
Conference Paper - 'Biological effects of Cell Tower Radiation' - Neha Kumar,Prof Girish Kumar,International Symposium on Microwave and Optical Tehcnology (ISMOT 2009).
Cell Tower radiation has become of extreme concern as we are exposed to them 24x7, and one cannot do much if the tower antenna is mounted right on top of your home/school/office building etc. Radiation level measurements were carried out at various locations and the levels were found to be far above the recommended values.
This document summarizes a study on the radiation from mobile phone towers. It discusses the radiation patterns of tower antennas and how power density decreases with distance from the tower. It also addresses the theoretical and measured radiation levels, compliance distances recommended by international standards, and the biological effects of tower radiation on humans and the environment. While mobile companies deny health risks, the document concludes that long-term exposure can pose serious health hazards and stricter radiation norms should be enforced globally.
Radio waves are a type of electromagnetic radiation that have wavelengths longer than infrared light. They were discovered in 1897 by Heinrich Hertz, after whom the unit of frequency is named. Radio waves are produced by alternating current circuits attached to antennas and have frequencies ranging from 300 GHz to 3 kHz. They are used for transmitting information such as sound, television signals, and data without wires for purposes like communication, GPS, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth. While radio waves have enabled many modern technologies, prolonged exposure to high amounts may cause health issues like cancer, so it is best to limit direct exposure when possible.
Radio waves are electromagnetic waves that can range in length from millimeters to over 100,000 km, making them one of the largest types of waves. They are used to transmit signals for radio, television, mobile phones, and other technologies. Radio waves are transmitted through antennas and received by antennas, where a tuner selects the desired frequency. Mobile phones also emit low levels of radio frequency radiation when in use. Television has transitioned from using antennas to receive radio wave signals to digital transmission of signals through networks.
James Clerk Maxwell discovered that light had electrical and magnetic properties, like radio waves. The first radio signal was sent by Guglielmo Marconi in 1895 across the English Channel. By 1899, Marconi received the letter 'S' from England to Newfoundland, demonstrating innovations in radio wave technology. Radio waves allow wireless communication through modulation of electromagnetic waves between transmitters and receivers.
Radio waves are part of the electromagnetic spectrum and have the lowest frequency and longest wavelengths. They are used for Wi-Fi, TV, radio, and other wireless technologies. Ultra-high frequency (UHF) radio waves can penetrate buildings better than lower frequencies but have a shorter range; they allow for more channels by using a wider frequency band. Orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing splits signals to reduce interference. Super-high frequencies are used for mobile phones and satellites due to their small wavelengths enabling compact antennas and worldwide bandwidth. Radio waves continue to take on new uses and research may lead to improved wireless technologies.
The document summarizes information about communication connections between mobile phones and the effects of cell phone radiation. It contains the following key points:
1. When a call is made, the caller's phone transmits a signal to the nearest base station, which routes the signal to a switching center to authenticate the caller and receiver IDs before sending the signal to the base station nearest the receiver.
2. Cell phone radiation is transmitted in all directions from the antenna, with most energy lost in space but some received by base stations and incident on the human head.
3. Concerns about health hazards exist because mobile phones use microwave radiation, and studies show radiation can penetrate deeper into children's skulls than adults' due
This document summarizes some of the potential effects of cellphone radiation. It describes how cellphones work using radio frequencies to transmit signals and may absorb radiation into the human head. It discusses measures of absorbed radiation like SAR and notes that studies show cellphone radiation can slightly increase brain temperature during a call. The document also mentions that studies have not shown cellphone radiation to affect normal heart rhythm but that implanted medical devices like pacemakers may face issues if phones are not kept a sufficient distance away.
Radio waves are a form of electromagnetic radiation with the lowest frequency on the electromagnetic spectrum. They are used to transmit various forms of communication like TV, cell phones, radio stations, and more. Radio waves can be reflected by the ionosphere to travel long distances. There are different types of radio waves that are used for short, medium, and long-range transmissions. Radios and other devices receive radio waves through antennas and convert the signals into audio or video information to be played or displayed.
Radio waves transmit information such as television, internet, and music through invisible electromagnetic waves that are received by antennas and decoded into various media. Radios have a transmitter that encodes sound into sine waves and an antenna that receives the electromagnetic waves. The information is encoded in the wave pattern. Antennas receive thousands of signals at once, requiring tuners to select a particular frequency. Radio waves are used for wireless technologies, TV, phones, and some medical applications. They can travel long distances by following the Earth's curvature. Common radio frequencies include AM/FM and television bands.
Ultraviolet radiation has wavelengths between 400nm and 15nm, falling between violet light and X-rays on the electromagnetic spectrum. It is divided into UV-A from 400-320nm, UV-B from 320-280nm, and UV-C from 280-100nm, with shorter wavelengths being more energetic and potentially dangerous. UV-A passes through glass while UV-B induces vitamin D production but can cause harm from overexposure.
Cell towers contain antennas that receive and transmit radio signals to connect mobile phones to the cellular network. When a call is made, the mobile phone emits radio waves that are received by antennas on the nearest cell tower, which then transmits the signals to a switching center to connect the call. Cell towers can take different forms like lattice towers or disguised concealment designs, and their effective range depends on factors like antenna height and transmitter power. Current scientific evidence shows no health risks from exposure to the low radiofrequency levels emitted by cell towers and mobile devices.
The electromagnetic spectrum consists of all types of electromagnetic waves, ranging from radio waves to gamma rays. The properties of electromagnetic waves include speed, frequency, and wavelength, with speed being equal to frequency multiplied by wavelength. Shorter wavelengths have higher frequencies and energies, while longer wavelengths have lower frequencies and energies. The electromagnetic spectrum includes radio waves, microwaves, infrared waves, visible light, ultraviolet waves, X-rays, and gamma rays, which have various applications such as communication, heating, vision, sterilization, and medical imaging.

In particular, some studies have found a possible increased risk of leukemia in children exposed to magnetic fields over 0.4 microtesla for long periods. The document also notes that while thermal effects from high-frequency radiation are known, more research is still needed to understand potential non-thermal health impacts at lower exposure levels. Overall, the document aims to provide factual information on electrosmog and health risks while acknowledging existing uncertainties.
This document discusses radio waves and their uses. It defines radio waves as a type of electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths longer than infrared light that can transmit frequencies over long or short distances. Radio waves are used for technologies like mobile phones, Bluetooth, wireless networks, radio, television and more. The document describes how radio antennas receive signals and how radio waves are used in mobile devices and television transmission. It also discusses radio wave transmission methods and the importance of radio waves in modern society.

Evolving Lifecycles with High Resolution Site Characterization (HRSC) and 3-D...Joshua Orris
The incorporation of a 3DCSM and completion of HRSC provided a tool for enhanced, data-driven, decisions to support a change in remediation closure strategies. Currently, an approved pilot study has been obtained to shut-down the remediation systems (ISCO, P&T) and conduct a hydraulic study under non-pumping conditions. A separate micro-biological bench scale treatability study was competed that yielded positive results for an emerging innovative technology. 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.
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.
Climate Change All over the World .pptxsairaanwer024
Climate change refers to significant and lasting changes in the average weather patterns over periods ranging from decades to millions of years. It encompasses both global warming driven by human emissions of greenhouse gases and the resulting large-scale shifts in weather patterns. While climate change is a natural phenomenon, human activities, particularly since the Industrial Revolution, have accelerated its pace and intensity

Recycling and Disposal on SWM Raymond Einyu pptxRayLetai1
Increasing urbanization, rural–urban migration, rising standards of living, and rapid development associated with population growth have resulted in increased solid waste generation by industrial, domestic and other activities in Nairobi City. It has been noted in other contexts too that increasing population, changing consumption patterns, economic development, changing income, urbanization and industrialization all contribute to the increased generation of waste.
With the increasing urban population in Kenya, which is estimated to be growing at a rate higher than that of the country’s general population, waste generation and management is already a major challenge. The industrialization and urbanization process in the country, dominated by one major city – Nairobi, which has around four times the population of the next largest urban centre (Mombasa) – has witnessed an exponential increase in the generation of solid waste. It is projected that by 2030, about 50 per cent of the Kenyan population will be urban.
Aim:
A healthy, safe, secure and sustainable solid waste management system fit for a world – class city.
Improve and protect the public health of Nairobi residents and visitors.
Ecological health, diversity and productivity and maximize resource recovery through the participatory approach.
Goals:
Build awareness and capacity for source separation as essential components of sustainable waste management.
Build new environmentally sound infrastructure and systems for safe disposal of residual waste and replacing current dumpsites which should be commissioned.
Current solid waste management situation:
The status.
Solid waste generation rate is at 2240 tones / day
collection efficiently is at about 50%.
Actors i.e. city authorities, CBO’s , private firms and self-disposal
Current SWM Situation in Nairobi City:
Solid waste generation – collection – dumping
Good Practices:
• Separation – recycling – marketing.
• Open dumpsite dandora dump site through public education on source separation of waste, of which the situation can be reversed.
• Nairobi is one of the C40 cities in this respect , various actors in the solid waste management space have adopted a variety of technologies to reduce short lived climate pollutants including source separation , recycling , marketing of the recycled products.
• Through the network, it should expect to benefit from expertise of the different actors in the network in terms of applicable technologies and practices in reducing the short-lived climate pollutants.
Good practices:
Despite the dismal collection of solid waste in Nairobi city, there are practices and activities of informal actors (CBOs, CBO-SACCOs and yard shop operators) and other formal industrial actors on solid waste collection, recycling and waste reduction.
Practices and activities of these actor groups are viewed as innovations with the potential to change the way solid waste is handled.
CHALLENGES:
• Resource Allocation.
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.
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.
