  • Identification of Estrogenic Heavy Metals in Water Bodies Around Guwahati City, Assam, India Saptadeepa Roy*, Jogen Chandra Kalita
    International Journal of ChemTech Research CODEN( USA): IJCRGG ISSN : 0974-4290 Vol. 3, No.2, pp 699-702, April-June 2011 Identification of Estrogenic Heavy metals in Water Bodies Around Guwahati City, Assam, India Saptadeepa Roy*, Jogen Chandra Kalita Physiology & Biochemistry Research Laboratory, Department of Zoology, Gauhati University, Guwahati-781014. Assam, India. Phone Numbers: (+91) 9435084175, (+91) 9401673442 Abstract: Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDC) are linked to human health and diseases as they mimic or block the normal functioning of endogenous hormones. Heavy metals are also considered as endocrine disrupters. The present work dealt with the detection and identification of Heavy metals (Pb, Cd, Cr, Ni, Hg) having estrogenic properties from three different sites around Guwahati city, India, well known for its polluted water. Water samples were collected and analyzed using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer. The estrogenic heavy metal concentration in water was in the order Pb>Cr>Ni>Hg>Cd. Keywords: Heavy metal concentration, Estrogenic, EDC. Introduction & Experimental Many of the sediments in our rivers, lakes and oceans having estrogenic effects (2,4,5,6). All three metals are have been contaminated by pollutants. Some of these ubiquitous in the environment; however, the main pollutants are directly discharged by industrial plants sources of lead exposure are through lead-based paint, and municipal sewage treatment plants, others come and contaminated soil, dust and drinking water; from polluted runoff in urban and agricultural areas, cadmium exposure is primarily through cigarette and some are the result of historical contamination. smoke, air pollution and contaminated food and The inorganic minerals like sodium, potassium, mercury exposure through fish consumption, air calcium, magnesium and heavy metals like iron, pollution and dental amalgams (7).

Alarmed by the fall in numbers of this rare red deer, known scientifically as Cervus Elaphus Hanglu, and locally known as “Hangul”, the Government of Jammu and Kashmir is doing everything possible to save it from extinction. Battling for its survival, the Hangul are now scattered within the Dachigam National Park, which is located under the Zabarwan mountain range on the outskirts of Srinagar. The Dachigam National Park is the natural habitat of the Hangul, though in the summers, some of them cross the boundaries of the national park to graze in the higher mountain reaches. The state government has prepared a plan for Hangul conservation with the help of the Dehradun-based Wildlife Institute of India at a cost of Rs.220 million. The five-year plan has been submitted to the Union Ministry of Environment and Forests for approval. As part of the plan, the state government will buy field equipment, satellite images, GIS hardware and software. It would also build carnivore-proof enclosures, guard huts, watch towers and take steps to stop poachers.

    D.T.C.F. Kütüphanesi Ankara Üniversitesi DİL VE TARİH COĞRAFYA Fakültesi Dergisi Cilt XX Sayı: 3-4 Temmuz - Aralık 1962 KIBRIS MÜŞAHEDELERİ1 Prof. Dr. Cevat R. GÜRSOY Bundan seksenbeş yıl önce Osmanlı İmparatorluğunun bir parçası iken, padişahın hükümranlık hakkı mahfuz kalmak üzere fiilî idaresi İngiltere'ye terkedilen, fakat 16 Ağustos 1960 tarihinden beri müstakil bir devlet haline gelmiş bulunan Kıbrıs adası, bugünün en çok ilgi toplayan konularından birini teşkil etmektedir. Muhtelif meslekten insanların gittikçe daha yakından meşgul olduğu bu eski yurt parçasına, ötedenberi Akdeniz memleketleri üzerinde: çalış­ tığımız için hususî bir alâka duymakta idik. Bu sebeple 1959 ve 1960 yaz tatillerinde Kıbrıs'a giderek onu yakından tanımaya karar verdik ve bütün adayı dolaşarak coğrafî müşahedeler yaptık. Bu müşahedelere imkân veren seyahatlerin yapılmasında maddî ve manevî müzaherette bulunmuş olan Fakültemiz Dekanlığı ile Ülkeler Coğrafyası Kürsü Profesörlüğüne, Kıbrıs Türk Kurumları Federasyonu Başkanlığına, Kıbrıs Türk Maarif Dairesi Müdür ve elemanlarına, orada yakın ilgilerini gördüğümüz eski ve yeni öğrencilerimize ve nihayet misafirperver Kıbrıslı Türk kardeşlerimize teşekkürü, yerine getirilmesi icabeden bir vazife sayarız. Kıbrıs hakkında yazılmış birçok eser ve makale vardır. Bunlar arasında seyahatnamelerle tarihi, siyasi, arkeolojik ve jeolojik çalışmalar zikredilmeye değer. 1929 senesinden evvel neşredilmiş olan 1500 den fazla eser, makale, 1) Türk Coğrafya Kurumu tarafından Konya'da tertip edilmiş olan XIII.

In Madhya Pradesh, out of 313 blocks, 23 blocks extended to over exploited category, 09 blocks are in critical stage and 57 blocks are in semi critical stage (MP Dynamic Ground Water Assessment, 2015). As per rules of CGWB, the areas where the water level could not recuperated upto 3m depth after the monsoon K e yw or ds season, will essential artificial recharge. The solution lies in harvesting rainwater in farmers‟ field which are kept or left fallow for one reason or another. Though, all Groundwater these fields may not be good enough to recharge groundwater like percolation tanks recharge, Kharif but transfer water well below at least @4 mm/day even in clayey soils. So, to decide fallow, Priority which area is to be taken first in present study a method of identification of priority is Article Info proposed. Four basic criteria to decide the priority namely, amount of annual rainfall, the soil type, stage of ground water development stage and extent of kharif fallow.
