Abstract:The fluoride (F‾) concentration in ground water was determined in sixteen villages of Warora tehsil of Chandrapur district of Maharashtra state (India) where it is the only source of drinking water. Various other water quality parameters such as pH, electrical conductivity (EC), total dissolved salts (TDS), total hardness (TH), total alkalinityas well as sodium (Na+), potassium (K+), calcium (Ca2+), magnesium (Mg2+), carbonate, bicarbonate, chloride (Cl−), nitrate (NO3-) and sulphate (SO4−) concentrations were also measured....

Abstract:Rapid acceleration of urbanization and industrialization in Bangladesh has been coupled with increasing environmental degradation. The present study was carried out to investigate the air, water and sediment quality which are degraded due to pollution load at Turag River. Gastec technique (Japanese origin) is used to determine the CO, CO2, NOx and SO2 concentration and the concentration range for CO: 2425-7635 μg/m 3, 82-652 μg/m 3 for NOx, 151.93-553.56 μg/m 3 for PM10 and 395-510 μg/m 3 for CO2.Atomic absorption spectrophotometer technique is used for the determination of Cr, Pb, Zn, Cu and Cd because of their potential toxicity.......

Abstract:Different meals and dishes eaten every day can contribute differently to daily nutrient intakes and diet status. This research aims to examine the contribution of meals and dishes to the macronutrient and micronutrient daily intake of rural communities. A repeated (3-day) 24 hour food recall was carried out. Analysis of macronutrient and micronutrient intakes using the table of content and averages and frequencies were performed for the meals and dishes......

Abstract:Renewable energy resources have historically played a small role for electricity generation by Wind Power Technology in India. However, concerns such as security of energy supply, limitations and price fluctuations of fossil fuels, and threats of climate changes have encouraged Indian (MNRE-GOI) policy makers to think and debate about diversification strategy in the energy supply and promotion of renewables......

Abstract: Thorium is a radioactive element occurring naturally in low concentrations (about 10 ppm) in the earth's crust (HPS, 2014). Small amount of thorium found in soil is harmful when exposed to human. It is harmful to humans, who can be exposed to the small amounts found in the soil(EPA, 2014). Higher level of 232Th radionuclides are present in geological material such as monazite sand. Essentially all naturally occurring thoriums are presented as 232Th radionuclide and 230Th radionuclide. 230Th radionuclide is a radioactive decay product of 238U radionuclide which can be found at low concentration in uranium deposits and mill tailings (HPS, 2014).....
