The effluent generated by cement factory ACC Jamul, near light industrial area, Bhilai Dist. Durg is highly organic in nature. The samples were collected in winter season from different sites near the factory.

Gagan river water at ten different sites in and around Moradabad were collected and analysed quantitatively following standard methods for twenty two physcio-chemical parameters. The estimated values were compared with water quality standards. The river water is found to be severely polluted with reference to these analysed parameters.

Biomedical waste in India is a serious health and environmental hazard. Despite having a separate legislation for last ten years to handle this kind of waste, it is surprising to note that most medical facilities have failed to manage their waste in a safe

In the present study the pollution of a major North Bihar lake, the Kawar Wetland was studied with special reference to their effects on flora, fauna and local human population. The water of the lake is turbid, acidic and is having higher conductivity. The dissolved oxygen level was estimated as 7.6 mg/L, free CO2 6.3 mg/L, bicarbonate 80 mg/L, hardness 90 mg/L, chloride 17.0 mg/L.

This paper suggests that the contribution of cities to global anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions is often overstated. Many sources suggest that cities are responsible for 75

This study reveals detailed geochemical investigation of inorganic constituents including heavy metals in the ground water surrounding the dumpsite area at Muzaffarpur. The pH was found to be increased in some cases. Few water samples showed the total hardness and alkalinity value beyond the standard limit. COD value was found to be maximum in nearest points to dump sites.
