The testing of textile products is an expensive business. A laboratory has to be set up and furnished with a range of test equipment. Trained operatives have to be employed whose salaries have to be paid throughout the year, not just when results are required. Moreover all these costs are nonproductive and therefore add to the final cost of the product. Therefore it is important that testing is not undertaken without adding some benefit to the final product. There are a number of points in the production cycle where testing may be carried out to improve the product or to prevent sub-standard merchandise progressing further in the cycle.
Anthropogenic activities involving risks of adverse impacts on mental health ...Ranveer Singh Mahwar
The impact of some of the environmental contaminants on mental health specially in children and elders are well established and documented. The most studied environmental contaminants in this context are lead, mercury and persistent organic pollutants (POPs). It is also observed that the adverse impacts of environmental contaminants on stress related ailments get attention of the patients only after their having gone through the non stress related consultations/treatments for the symptoms with no recovery. The lack of awareness in regard to the primary sources concerning the adverse impacts on the brain’s functioning often deprives or delays treatments of stress related ailments. In –fact the gap between the availability of the information on the actual environmental exposure sources and taking of decisions on the mental health care is expected to be larger in developing countries like India which have extensive industrial and other anthropogenic activities involving toxic contaminants.
India has a large number of metallic waste recycling activities including the used lead-acid batteries and electronic waste processing industries. The risk of exposure to mercury cover a very wide band of activities ranging from use of mercury containing lamps, button cells, cosmetics, pesticides, dental amalgams, thermometers, sphygmomanometers to mercury emissions from coal power plants, metallurgical industries and waste incinerators. The concern for the proper management of Mercury has already got the attention to the extent that an international convention called “Minamata Convention on Mercury” has come into force with effect from the August 16, 2017. The risks of exposure to carcinogenic pollutants like PCBs also cover almost all activities involving combustion of wastes containing halogenated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. There are 28 POPs indentified under the Stockholm Convention as of June 2017.
The anthropogenic activities involving lead, mercury, PCBs etc prevailing in the country have been reviewed and compiled and presented at the World Congress of Mental Health (World Federation for Mental health), November 2-5, 2017 held at New Delhi.

Tobacco smoke contains mutagenic chemicals that are in the “probably carcinogenic” or “possibly carcinogenic” categories. In addition to free radicals, cigarette smoke is also rich in combustion toxic gases that can reach a very high concentration and become involved in more radical formation. Tobacco smoke contains a mixture of chemicals, including a host of reactive oxygen species (ROS), among others, that can damage cellular and sub-cellular targets, such as lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids. A growing body of evidence supports a key role for smoking-induced ROS and the resulting oxidative stress in inflammation and carcinogenesis. Smoking is one of the causes of the incidence and mortality of cancer in the world. This study aimed to review the relationship between smoking and especially the use of cigarettes with common cancers of various organs of the body. In addition to free radicals, cigarette smoke is also rich in combustion toxic gases that can reach a very high concentration and become involved in more radical formation. Smoking increases the risk of cancers of the lungs, bladder, cervix, kidney, larynx (voice box), pharynx (upper throat), nose, mouth, oesophagus (foodpipe), pancreas, stomach, liver and some types of leukaemia. Within this review article we will focus on the correlation between smoking and oxidative stress and the role of smoking in increasing the risk of cancer.

UNDERSTANDING WHAT GREEN WASHING IS!.pdfJulietMogola
Many companies today use green washing to lure the public into thinking they are conserving the environment but in real sense they are doing more harm. There have been such several cases from very big companies here in Kenya and also globally. This ranges from various sectors from manufacturing and goes to consumer products. Educating people on greenwashing will enable people to make better choices based on their analysis and not on what they see on marketing sites.
"Understanding the Carbon Cycle: Processes, Human Impacts, and Strategies for...MMariSelvam4
The carbon cycle is a critical component of Earth's environmental system, governing the movement and transformation of carbon through various reservoirs, including the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms. This complex cycle involves several key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and carbon sequestration, each contributing to the regulation of carbon levels on the planet.
Human activities, particularly fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, have significantly altered the natural carbon cycle, leading to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and driving climate change. Understanding the intricacies of the carbon cycle is essential for assessing the impacts of these changes and developing effective mitigation strategies.
By studying the carbon cycle, scientists can identify carbon sources and sinks, measure carbon fluxes, and predict future trends. This knowledge is crucial for crafting policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, enhancing carbon storage, and promoting sustainable practices. The carbon cycle's interplay with climate systems, ecosystems, and human activities underscores its importance in maintaining a stable and healthy planet.
In-depth exploration of the carbon cycle reveals the delicate balance required to sustain life and the urgent need to address anthropogenic influences. Through research, education, and policy, we can work towards restoring equilibrium in the carbon cycle and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.

Risk vs Hazard
Risk :
Concept mixing gravity of an adverse event (illness, accident) and
the probability of occurance.
Risk = Hazard x Probability
In toxicology, probability is linked to the exposure dose
Dosis sola facit venenum
(the dose make the poison)

Acute & Chronic Toxicity
All substances have two faces
Toxicities of substances
Acute toxicity
Short term effects after exposure (irritant, caustic, toxics)
Chronic toxicity
Delayed effects (sometimes years) after repeated sub-toxic
exposure (diseases, cancer, neuropathology, …)

Occupational exposure limits, definition
Occupationa Exposure Limit (OEL) is usully defined as :
Acceptable mean exposure concentration to prevent occurrence of
adverse health effects (according to the actual best knowledge) on
the vast majority of healhy exposed workers.
OEL are usually defined for long term exposure (8h) and short term (STEL 15 min)
