Harun-ur-Rashid, M. Enamur Rashid and M. Atiqur Rahman* Department of Botany, University of Chittagong Chittagong 4331, Bangladesh *Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract The study aimed at inventorying of threatened plant species of Bangladesh to determine their status of occurrence for emphasizing the setting-up of national conservation strategies and sustainable management. Complete inventory of two families, the Apocynaceae and Vitaceae, has been made and recognized 28 threatened species facing environmental threats, and need sustainable conservation management. The study was based on long-term field investigation, survey of relevant floristic literature and examination of herbarium specimens. An enumeration of threatened taxa is prepared with updated field data on conservation status to include into Red Data Book of Bangladesh. Key words: Inventory, threatened plant species, conservation, management, Bangladesh. Introduction Global biodiversity is depleting at an alarming rate due to human interferences and environmental degradation, causing high risk of extinction. Human impact on nature has reached at such a high proportion that the world is today witnessing an unprecedented rate of species loss. Many more species are disappearing from the nature before their discovery and determination. The 1997 IUCN Red List of Threatened Plants revealed that 12.5% or c.34,000 of the world’s vascular plant species are at risk of extinction, including 7% of family International Journal of Environment ISSN 2091-2854 141 | P a g e Apocynaceae and 5% of Vitaceae (Walter & Gillett, 1998).

  • Study of Water Quality of Sylhet City and Its Restaurants: Health Associated Risk Assessment
    Iran. J. Environ. Health. Sci. Eng., 2006, Vol. 3, No. 1, pp. 9-18 STUDY OF WATER QUALITY OF SYLHET CITY AND ITS RESTAURANTS: HEALTH ASSOCIATED RISK ASSESSMENT *1R. Alam, 1J. B. Alam, 2M. M. Hasan, 1 S. R. Das, 1K. Rahman, 1B. K. Banik 1Civil and Environmental Engineering Department, Shahjalal University of Science and Technology, Sylhet, Bangladesh 2Industrial and Production Engineering Department, Shahjalal University of Science and Technology, Sylhet, Bangladesh Received 13 July 2005; revised 20 August 2005; accepted 25 November 2005 ABSTRACT A study of the water quality conditions of Sylhet city of Bangladesh and its restaurants was carried out to assess risks to human health. The investigation was based on questionnaire survey of restaurants and laboratory tests on water samples obtained from the restaurants, tube wells of the city and Surma River the two main sources of water supply to the city. The test parameters were dissolved oxygen; conductance, hardness, pH, temperature, turbidity, essential and trace elements, dissolved and suspended solids and coliform bacteria. The quality of sanitary facilities and handling of food in the restaurants were also examined. It was found that the drinking water of each restaurant was contaminated with fecal coliforms and 25% restaurants had unsafe levels of iron in the water supply. Improper solid waste dumping was found as one of the reasons of groundwater pollution. Statistical analysis based on Pearson’s correlation coefficient revealed significant correlation between the extent of groundwater pollution and dumping of solid waste effluents in the immediate vicinity of ground water (tube wells). It was observed that 75.69% (coefficient of determination r2= 0.7569) variation in the value of groundwater near the dumping place showed association with variation in the value of water quality within the dumping place.

Shofiqul Islam1* and Mohammad Moinul Hossain2 ,Md Aminul Islam3 1Department of Petroleum and Mining Engineering, Shahjalal University of Science and Technology, Sylhet 3114 Bangladesh 2Geophysical Division, Bangladesh Petroleum Exploration and Production Company (BAPEX), Dhaka, Bangladesh 3Department of Petroleum Geoscience, Faculty of Science Universiti Brunei Darussalam Jalan Tungku Link Gadong BE1410, Negara Brunei Darussalam Abstract Fenchuganj Gas Field is located in the Surma Basin of Bangladesh and characterized by water-drive gas field. In the reservoir condition, water saturation increases as gas production rise. The fluid properties of the four individual gas zones of this reservoir at the present condition and at the gas depleted condition should be addressed with proper prediction. In this paper, we characterize the total reservoir with special emphasis on Upper Gas Zone and New Gas Zone I which are compared with other two gas zones (New Gas Zone III and New Gas Zone II) representing some modeling results (has done before by these authors) which evidences that the pore fluids have a significant effect on the acoustic impedance and the Poisson’s ratio of the reservoir rock which is directly correlated with seismic amplitudes at constant pressure with Batzle-Wang model and Gassman-Boit models.

Corresponding Author: Sumon Chowdhury Abstract: Fenchuganj gas field is located at Surma Basin and 40 km south of Sylhet town. This field is operated by Bangladesh Petroleum Exploration and Production Company Limited (BAPEX). Gas properties analysis is essential for gas production designing, gas processing, gas transportation and gas handling systems. This study covers the mathematical and graphical calculation to analyze several properties of gas such as molecular weight, gas gravity, gas compressibility factor, gas formation volume factor, gas expansion factor, gas density and gas viscosity of Fenchuganj gas well, FG-2 and FG-3. The gas molecular weight is 16.2979 and 16.395 respectively for FG-2 and FG-3. Specific gas gravity is found 0.5625 for FG-2 and 0.5659 for FG-3. The gas compressibility factor is also determined for FG-2 which is 0.84 for Upper Gas Sand(UGS), 0.91 for Middle Gas Sand(MGS) and 0.92 for Lower Gas Sand(LGS). Similarly for FG-3, gas compressibility is 0.83 for New Gas Sand (NGS-ii) and 0.84 for Upper Gas Sand (UGS). Gas formation volume factor, gas expansion factor and gas density for FG-2 range from 4.73×10-3 to 4.01×10-3 res.ft3 /scf, 211.416 to 249.376 and 9.18 to 10.70 lb/ft3 respectively.
