ABSTRACT

The methods used for toxic element analysis of coal and its ash have been categorized into two parts. There are certain methods which cannot be easily used for multi-elements analysis on an individual sample. Coal mine water is acidic in nature and dissolves the trace and toxic elements like Mn, Cu, Cd, Pb, and Al water from river pond and other sources have shown to be changing in quality parameters total dissolved solids, suspended solids, pH and conductivity have showed increasing trend. Mine discharged showed increasing concentration of trace and toxic elements in water discharged from mine. Pb and cd concentration in soil and water of Dipika coal are discharge have shown increasing trend. The most affected areas are the junction of river and mine water, caused by pollution due to heavy mining, and toxic elements like Cu, Pb and Cd which are found in high concentrations in soil of Dipika coal area. Cd is primary excreted through kidneys and Pb is known to have multiple hematotoxic effects. Coal dust from Dipika coal fuel is integrated to water resources it affects, the ecosystem of the water and its base. Keywords: coal mine, Dipika coal, pollution, trace elements INTRODUCTION Water flows through forest land, crop land and density populated rural areas. Mining of coal also causes pollution; coal mine water is acidic in nature and dissolves the trace and toxic elements were Mn, Cu, Cd, Pb, and Al. The map of Dipika coal field area shows that coal mine effluent mixed with water. Dipika coal field mining effluents consist of mixture of mineral traces other wastes of plants and the characteristics of effect discharge depends upon the types of discharging plants so the physical chemical characteristics of industrial effluent and water depends upon a number of factors including time of sampling conc. of pollutants types of pollutant with confluence in the water in the present

investigation many polluting parameters have been taken up to study the physico-chemical characteristics of mining effluent in Dipika coal field mining water.[1–8] METHODS FOR WATER SAMPLE COLLECTION The sampling points were already fixed for water collection i.e., industrial wastes which are discharged into the water. The sampling was done once in middle of every month. 2.5 l of water and effluent sample were collected in a clear washed plastic jerry cane for physical chemical test of which 300 ml. water sample of collected in sterilized BOD bottle for biological test. The samples were analysed within 0–24 hour.

ABSTRACT

Water is one of the abundantly available substances in nature. Laxmi Taal is one of the oldest fresh water lakes in Jhansi. The water of the lake has been considerably depleted in quality. For the investigation five sampling sites were chosen along the periphery of the lake. Water samples are collecting twice one representing pre monsoon and another representing monsoon. Physico-chemical parameter undertaken during study were color and odor, temperature, pH, electrical conductance, total hardness, total alkalinity, total suspended solids (TSS), total dissolved solids (TDS), dissolved oxygen (DO), biological oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD), iron (Fe) and phosphorous (P). The value of water quality parameters were analyses using standard methods (APHA, 1992). The study concluded that oxygen content of the water is gradually low. Laxmi Taal is suffered from Sedimentation, Eutrophication and treat of loss of biodiversity. The study recommends checking discharge of waste in the lake from domestic and municipality is required to improved water quality. INTRODUCTION Water is one of the most essential constituents of human environment. It is one of the most important compounds that profoundly influence life (Gorde 2013). The quality of water is a vital concern for mankind since it is directly linked with human welfare. But today, clean water has become a precious commodity and its quality is threatened by numerous sources of pollutants including fertilizers, soil particles, waste chemical and sewage from city and rural area. In the past, though the environment had an infinite capacity to devour, man’s health and welfare are being affected by environmental pollution. The world health organization (WHO) estimates that more than 20% of the world population (around 1.3 billion peoples) has no safe drinking water and that more than 40% of all populations lack adequate sanitation (Oastrige and Trent, 1999).[1–5]

Water can be polluted by substances that dissolve in it or by the solid particles and insoluble liquid droplets that becomes suspended in it (Plant et al 2001). Surface water also contains a lot of organic matter and mineral nutrients which feed algae and large bacteria populations. The quantity of water is a vital concern for mankind since it is directly linked with human welfare. A lake is a low lying part of the earth’s surface in which rain water, surface water runoff, outflow from a river and water from other sources accumulates. India has a large number of lakes spread all over the country. Almost half of the world’s lake are degraded, depleted and contaminated mainly by human activities. The main causes are inflow of domestic sewage, agriculture runoff, discharge of industrial effluents, over fishing, habitat degradation from population growth and expansion of cities.

ABSTRACT

The membrane of Detarium microcarpum seeds (DMM) was developed. The bio-sorbent was used for the removal of Pb2+, Cd2+, Fe3+, Cu2+, Cr3+ and Mn2+ in aqueous solution. Membrane sorption capacities were found to be : 96.80%, 96.63%, 94.04%, 91.45%, 87.82% and 87.29% for Cd2+, Cr3+, Mn2+, Fe3+, Pb2+ and Cu2+, respectively. The sorption behavior with respect to pH, contact time, ionic strength and initial metal ion concentration were investigated so as to determine the optimum sorption conditions. The result showed that metal ion sorption by the membrane increased with increasing initial metal ion concentration, pH values and contact time while metal ion sorption decreased with increasing ionic strength. Maximum sorption was found to occur at pH 5 for all the six metal ions studied. The study reveals that the ability of the membrane to remove some heavy metal ions from aqueous solution is encouraging and may be used in bioremediation of wastewater. Keywords: Detarium microcarpum seeds, membrane, sorption, metal ions INTRODUCTION In recent years, heavy metal pollution has become one of the most serious environmental problems. Presence of heavy metals even in traces can be toxic and detrimental to both flora and fauna. With the rapid development of industries such as mining, surface finishing, energy and fuel, fertilizer, pesticide, electroplating, electrolysis, electro-osmosis, leather, photography and electric appliances; many by-products or unwanted waste materials are directly or indirectly being discharged into the environment causing serious environmental pollution and even threatening human life. Contamination of water with substances which have adverse effect on human beings, animals and plants is called water pollution. Water pollution is a global problem and its control has become

increasingly important in recent years. The conventional methods for the removal of these heavy metals from wastewater include chemical precipitation, membrane separation, ion exchange, dialysis, etc.[1] These conventional methods have the following problems: incomplete metal removal, high reagent and energy requirements, generation of toxic sludge or other waste products that require careful disposal has made it imperative for a cost effective treatment method that is capable of removing heavy metals from aqueous effluents. Bio-sorption is a physiochemical process occurring naturally in certain biomass that allows it to passively concentrate and bind contaminants onto its cellular structure.[1] The use of biomass in environmental clean-up has already been in practice for a while; still the scientists and engineers

Air Pollution in India: Trend and Magnitude

Aruna Singh Department of Engineering and Technology, Indira Gandhi National Open University, New Delhi, India

Pollution is a serious problem across the world. Pollution is the contamination of the Earth’s environment with substances that interferes with human life in terms of health and natural functioning of the ecosystem. Of all types of pollution, air pollution is a serious health problem in urban cities. It is one of the most aggravating factors responsible for respiratory ailments and cardiovascular diseases. Several diseases such as asthma, chronic bronchitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease are commonly occurring diseases because of air pollution. Among the world’s top 20 most polluted cities, 13 have been reported from India. The worst being Delhi, the densely populated capital territory of India.[1] Air pollution in Delhi has increased steadily by 20% since 2000.[2] The Centre for Science and Environment’s (CSE) analysis of government data and the Global Burden of Disease report's data on India has also identified air pollution as the fifth leading cause of death in India after high blood pressure, indoor air pollution, tobacco smoking and poor nutrition.[3] In a Lancet study in 2012, air pollution was ranked as the sixth biggest killer in India with an estimated toll of 66 million.[2] The Ganga and Yamuna are ranked among the world’s 10 most polluted rivers. Experts suggests that the pollutants in Delhi’s air in winter months can reach up to three times the safe limits on some days. Air pollution slashes life expectancy by 3.2 years for the 660 million Indians who live in cities, including nation’s capital Delhi.[1] The major causes have been the fumes coming from diesel vehicles that have

caused the increasingly polluted air in India’s cities. Officials also blame smoke and dust from industrial and building activity. According to the Environment Pollution (Prevention & Control) Authority for the National Capital Region (EPCA) report, from 2002 to 2012 particulate matter in Delhi has increased by 75% and numbers of vehicles on the roads have increased 97%, contributing enormously to pollution load and direct exposure to toxic fume. In the winter of 2013–2014 Delhi’s air pollution increased to dangerous levels. PM 2.5 particles have remained 2–3 times the national standard and have reached 8–10 times the standards in high smog episodes.[4] The WHO estimates show that the Indian cities are death traps on account of severely high air pollution levels. WHO’s urban air quality database covers 1600 cities across 91 countries. It has shown that Indian cities have highest levels of particulate matter PM10 and PM2.5 (particles with diameter of 10 and 2.5 microns) when compared to other cities.[5] Analysis of this database indicates that all Indian cities exceed the WHO guideline of 20 µg/cum for PM10, in case of PM2.5 except one city (Pathanamthitta in Kerala is at the WHO guideline limit of 10), all exceed the WHO guideline of 10 µg/cum. The PM2.5 levels are worst in Delhi and Patna, exceeding the WHO guideline by about 15 times, followed by Gwalior, Raipur, Ahmedabad, Lucknow and Ferozabad, all exceeding the safe levels by 9–14 times. Cities such as Kanpur, Amritsar, Ludhiana, Allahabad, Agra,

Industrial Chemical Pollution: Types and Effects

Shalu Singh* Department of Engineering and Technology, Indira Gandhi National Open University, New Delhi, India

ABSTRACT

Water pollution is becoming a serious problem all over the world. Water being an essential element is required for survival of life on Earth. Chemical discharge from industries is a major reason for causing water pollution. Herein, some of the main chemical discharge from industries and their harmful effects have been described. Keywords: chemicals, industrial chemical discharge, water pollution

BACKGROUND Water is an essential chemical for life on Earth. Today, the quality of water is getting affected due to pollution caused by foreign bodies and chemicals. The agents that disrupt the water quality making it unfit for usage by living organisms or cause harm in one or the other way are referred as pollutants and this phenomenon is called water pollution. Water pollution can be of two types viz., point source or diffuse. In the former type, pollutants enter the water body and pollute it at a particular site such as the discharge pipe. In diffuse pollution, the pollutants enter the water over a wide area such as run-off from agricultural land and urban areas. The source of pollution in the former type can be easily identified and rectified while in the latter, it is difficult to identify and control. There is a wide range of sources of water pollution. These include agricultural crops and livestock, forestry, atmospheric acid rain, industrial discharge, sewage, domestic wastes, mines etc. industrial discharge contributes majorly in causing water pollution. The main pollutants from the industries are the metals, chemicals,

and petroleum that are released into the water bodies illegally, causing long-run dreadful effects on the living organisms.[1] Metals and solvents released from industries pollute rivers and lakes. They can be poisonous to several aquatic life forms or can disrupt their normal physiology such as lower down the pace of body development, make them infertile.[1,2] Crude oil or petroleum products such as gasoline, diesel fuel, kerosene, lubricating oil etc., contaminate the water bodies through oil spills. The oil spills usually have an immediate effect causing the death of localized fish, but it can spread for miles. It can also get stick to feathers of seabirds making them to lose the ability to fly. Many organic solvents used in industries like benzene, xylene, toluene, acetone or the chlorinated solvents used in degreasing processes like PCE, TCE, 1,1,1-TCA, 1,2-DCA, 1,1,2-TCA; also cause severe water pollution. Other industrial pollutants include polyaromatic hydrocarbons from coal power plants and manufacturing gas
