Prepared products of stabilized/solidified waste with three different contents 12 wt. %, 20 wt. % and 30 wt. %, respectively, of Portland slag cement were evaluated in accordance with valid waste legislation,, mobility of monitored elements and from the aspect of development of mechanical strength after 2, 7 and 28 days of hydration. Leaching tests including procedures of sequential extraction and X-ray diffraction were the main techniques and evaluaton methods used in the research. Obtained results of sequential extraction providing information about mobility potential and bioavailability of studied metals revealed that the Zn content of untreated sample in the most accessible ionto-exchange and carbonate fraction reached 8 x higher concentration than the appropriate concentration limit for hazardous waste. Results of determined compressive strengths of the S/S products indicated increasing of compressive strength with time and amount of added Portland slag cement. After 28 days of hydration the products contained phase of gismondine, independently on a quantity of the added binder. Immobilization of metals monitored by procedure used occurred already within two days in the process of solidification of the wastes and binder mixture and it was even more distinct with higher amount of added binder. <#LINE#> @ @ Makkonen H.T., Heino J., Laitila L., Hiltunen A., Pöyliö E. and Härkki J., Optimisation of steel plant recycling in Finland: dusts, scales and sludge, Resources, Conservation and Recycling, 35 (1-2), 77-84, (2002) @No $ @ @ Das B., Prakash S., Reddy P.S.R. and Misra V.N., An overview of utilization of slag and sludge from steel industries, Resources, Conservation and Recycling, 50 (1), 40-57, (2007) @No $ @ @ Elgersma F., Kamst G.F., Witkamp G.J. and Van Rosmalen G.M., Acidic dissolution of zinc ferrite, Hydrometallurgy, 29 (1-3), 173–189, (1992) @No $ @ @ Youcai Z., Stanforth R., Integrated hydrometallurgical process for production of zinc electric arc furnace dust in alkaline medium, Journal of Hazardous Materials, 80 (1-3), 223–240, (2000) @No $ @ @ Vyhláška 294/2005 Sb. o podmínkách ukládání odpadna skládky a jejich vyuívání na povrchu terénu a zmvyhlášky . 383/2001 Sb., o podrobnostech nakládání s odpady, Praha: MP, (2005) @No $ @ @ Skvara F., Kastanek F., Pavelkova I., Solcova O., Maleterova Y. and Schneider P., Solidification of waste steel foundry dust with Portland cement, Journal of Hazardous Materials, 89 (1), 67–81, (2002) @No $ @ @ Qian G., Cao Y., Chui P. and Tay J., Utilization of MSWI fly ash for stabilization/solidification of industrial waste sludge, Journal of Hazardous Materials, 129 (1-3), 274-281, (2006) @No $ @ @ Salihoglu G. and Pinarli V., Steel foundry electric arc furnace dust management: Stabilization by using lime and Portland cement, Journal of Hazardous Materials, 153 (3), 1110-1116, (2008) @No $ @ @ Luz C.A., Rocha J.C., Cheriaf M. and Pera J., Use of sulfoaluminate cement and bottom ash in the solidification/stabilization of galvanic sludge, Journal Hazardous Materials, 136 (3), 837–845, (2006) @No $ @ @ Salihoglu G., Pinarli V., Salihoglu K.N. and Karaca G., Properties of steel foundry electric arc furnace dust solidified/stabilized with Portland cement, Journal of environmental management, 85 (1), 190-197, (2007) @No $ @ @ Ruiz M.C. and Irabien A., Environmental behavior of cement-based stabilized foundry sludge products incorporating additives, Journal of Hazardous Materials, 109 (1-3), 45–52, (2004) @No $ @ @ Vyhláška 376/2005 Sb. o hodnocení nebezpených vlastností odpad, Praha: MP, (2005) @No $ @ @ Tessier A., Campbell P.

The concentrations of eight heavy metals; lead (Pb), copper (Cu),cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), nickel (Ni), manganese (Mn), zinc (Zn), and iron (Fe) were determined using a flame atomic absorption spectrophotometer (FAAS). The mean levels and standard deviation of heavy metals in the moss samples were found to be: Pb (0.575±0.74 µg/g); Cu (2.034±3.59 µg/g); Cr (0.296±0.22 µg/g); Fe (18.955±12.61 µg/g); Cd (0.001±0.007 µg/g); Ni (0.002±0.003 µg/g); Zn (2.362±1.49 µg/g); Mn (0.287±0.39 µg/g). Iron had the highest average concentration of 18.955µg/g while Cd had the least average concentration of 0.001µg/g. The amount of these metals were observed to follow the trend Fe> Zn>Cu>Pb>Cr>Mn>Ni>Cd. Statistical analysis showed a significant correlation (r = 0.988; p < 0.01) in the samples collected at commercial and industrial areas. Also, there was a significant correlation in metal levels collected at residential and industrial areas (r = 0.996; p < 0.01). In a similar way, a positive correlation existed between the levels of metals in commercial and residential areas (r = 0.997; p < 0.01). There was a strong correlation at 0.05 significance between Cd, Cr, Mn, Ni and Cu while the correlation of Fe, Pb and Zn was insignificant in all the studied locations. From the results, iron (Fe) was found to be the most abundant metal in the study area. Heavy metals pollution load in the analyzed samples was in the order; industrial> commercial> residential. The results showed that Makurdi atmosphere is not polluted with respect to these heavy metals based on NESREA (National Environmental Standards and Regulations Enforcement Agency) standards.<#LINE#> @ @ Baeva K., Stafilov T., Šajn, R. and Tselia C., Moss biomonitoring of air pollution with heavy metals in the vicinity of a ferronickel smelter plant, Journal of Environmental Science and Health.

In the present study, ambient temperature, water temperature, Dissolved Oxygen, pH, and carbonate alkalinity were found to increase during day hours which decreased during night hours. Free carbon dioxide (CO) was completely absent throughout the study period i.e. for 24 hours. Water temperature showed a positive correlation with air temperature and pH, whereas dissolved oxygen showed positive relationship with carbonate, bicarbonate and total alkalinity during the day and night hours. Moreover, a complex interaction of various environmental factors also plays an important role to decide the fate of diel variation of abiotic factors.<#LINE#> @ @ Joshi S.

In water samples, the mean concentrations of Pb, Hg, Cd and As where 0.0174, 0.011, 0.00046 and 0.001respectively while the standard values are 0.05, 0.001, 0.005, and 0.05 respectively. As for fishes specimens, the observed mean concentrations for Pb, Hg and Cd were 0.039, 0.032 and 0.003 compared to 0.30, 0.50 and 0.050 mg/kg respectively as standard values. Here As were insignificant in analysed fishes. Results also show that concentrations in fish’s specimen do not correlate with those in water. According to the background knowledge about contaminants, a part of metals carried from the catchment is adsorbed onto suspended particles and settles to the sediment. Also, the presence of metals in fishes confirms that metals were available in aquatic ecosystem. This is not surprising when we know that no system of management of solid and liquid waste in the watershed exit. Indeed, the study catchment belongs to farm area with chemical use and a quick urbanization zone. Okpara dam is vital for human health and environmental well-being in the basin. Overall results indicate that fish and freshwater from Okpara dam were slightly contaminated by toxic metals but concentrations did not exceed standers. However, intensive and regular studies are required for monitoring. Also, iinformation, education and communicationeducation are very important for behaviour change by reparians in order to prevent levels of contaminations that would not be easy to address.<#LINE#> @ @ D'Anjou R.M., Bradley R.S., Balascio N.

The level of nickel toxicity on root, shoot length and dry biomass of maize was studied, compared to control. A pot (60days) and solution culture experiment (20 days)were conducted to study the effect of nickel concentration on maize plants. Seeds of maize were exposed to a range of nickel levels (0, 10, 20, 30 and 40 mg L-1) prepared in Hoagland nutrient solution and in pot experiments black soil were spiked with the (0, 50, 100, 150, 500 and 600 mg kg-1) metal solution of different concentrations of nickel. The study revealed that dry matter yield of maize was decreased at 10 mg L-1 nickel in solution culture, while in pot culture study, 50 mg kg-1 nickel concentration recorded reduced dry matter weight and also chlorosis symptom was observed at nickel dose above 100 mg kg-1The aim of this study was to determine how to nickel reduces maize growth. We examined Ni accumulation and distribution in maize plants and the effects of toxic concentrations on growth and biomass.<#LINE#> @ @ McIlveen W.D. and Negusanti J.J., Nickel in the terrestrial environment, Sci.

The rising prevalence of DM-II 194 million (2003) and expected 333 million (2025) to be of overweight and obesity, that also increasing the prevalence of coexisted hypertension. Hypertension is about 6 times more frequent in obese subjects than in lean men and women. These increases translate into as estimate 12% increase risk for CHD and 24% increase risk of stroke. As prevalent comorbid association amongst Indian has risen over few decades. This may be also attributed to the changing life style trend that increasing number of the patients of diabesity-hypertension. The importance of nutritional recommendation with life style management for better control attracts attention to the researcher to carry out this paper. The objective of the paper was to analyse the status of Diabesity-Hypertension and its non-clinical management in different Nutritional status. The validation cohertsn=60. The main finding of the paper it was observed that among nutritional status of first order to fifth order the prevalence of diabesity hypertension were 12%,26%,24%,18% and 22% respectively.

The samples were collected from an industrial and a rural site using a high volume sampler. The samples were extracted with n-hexane and analysis was carried out with HPLC/ UV-VIS detector. The annual total PAHs concentrations in PM10 at industrial site ranged from 19.4 – 95.5 ngm-3 whereas at a rural site, it ranged from 7.8-36.8 ngm-3. The average total PAHs concentration at industrial site was about 2.4 times higher than that of the rural site. The monthly concentrations of total PAHs in PM10 at industrial site ranged between 20.9 – 90.1 ngm-3 and it ranged from 9.4 - 35.8 ngm-3 at rural site. The dominating PAHs at the industrial site were the high molecular weights PAHs while at rural site, the low molecular weight PAHs were dominant. The spatial variation in concentration of PAHs at two sites was mainly due to local emission sources. Significant correlation among comparative ring size PAHs showed their origin from similar sources. Potential sources of PAHs in PM10 were determined using the method of diagnostic ratios. The main sources contributing to PAHs at Industrial site were fossil fuel combustion and vehicular emission. At Rural site the potent sources contributing to PAHs were grass and wood combustion and vehicular emission, especially diesel and gasoline powered vehicles. Carcinogenicity of PAHs in terms of B(a)P equivalent concentration was found to be 3.1 ngm-3 and 1.1 ngm-3 for industrial and rural site, respectively.<#LINE#> @ @ Singh A.K., Tomer Neetu and Jain C.L., Monitoring, Assessment and Status of Benzene, Toluene and Xylene Pollution in the Urban Atmosphere of Delhi, India, Res.J.chem.sci.,2(4), 45-49 (2012) @No $ @ @ Nair Abhilash T., Pharmaceuticals in Environment: Areview on its effect, Res.J.chem.sci.,2(1), 103-105(2012) @No $ @ @ Nwajei G.E., Okwagi P., Nwajei R.I. and Obi-Iyeke G.E., Analytical Assessment of Trace Elements in Soils, Tomato Leaves and Fruits in the Vicinity of Paint Industry, Nigeria, Res.J.Recent Sci.,1(4), 22-26 (2012) @No $ @ @ Nwajei G.E., Obi-Iyeke G.E. and Okwagi P., Distribution of Selected Trace Metal in Fish Parts from the River Nigeria, Res.J.Recent Sci.,1(1), 81-84 (2012) @No $ @ @ Lee M.L., Novotny M. and Bartle K.D., Analytical chemistry of polycyclic aromatic compounds New York, Academic Press, (1981) @No $ @ @ Rogge W.F., Hildemman L.M., Mazukek M.A., Cass G.R. and Simoneit BRT., Sources of fine organic aerosol, 5, Natural gas home appliances, Environ Sci Technol, 27(13), 2736 –2744 (1993) @No $ @ @ Dickhut R.M., and Gustafson K.E., Atmospheric washout of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in the southern Chesapeake Bay region, Environ Sci Technol,29(6), 1518 –1525 (1995) @No $ @ @ Masih A., Saini R., Singhvi R. and Taneja, A., Concentrations, sources, and exposure profiles of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in particulate matter (PM10) in the north central part of India, Environ Monit Assess.,163, 421–431(2010) @No $ @ @ Raiyani C.

The synthesized ligand was investigated using different physical techniques such as infrared, Raman spectroscopy, H, 13C NMR and UV-Visible. Transition metal complexes [ML(HO)];M= Zn2+, Cd2+, Ni2+, Cu2+, Co2+, Mn2+, Fe2+ and the mixed ligand complexes [M(LH)(caf)]; M= Zn2+, Cd2+ for n=1 and M= Ni2+, Cu2+, Co2+, Mn2+,Fe2+ for n=2 derived from the ligand have been widely studied. The infrared, Raman and UV-Visible data of the metal complexes show that the ligand is coordinated to the metal ions in a tridentate manner, with NOO donor sites of the azine. It is also found that the geometrical structures of these complexes are tetrahedral. Based on the obtained infrared, Raman, NMR spectroscopy, UV-Visible and literature indications, the ligand is coordinated to the metal in bidentate manner through NO donor sites of the azine and with N9 imidazol of the caffeine. Thus, the mixed ligand complexes [M(LH)(caf)] exhibit a distorted pentahedral geometry for n=1; M=Zn2+, Cd2+ and a distorted octahedral geometry for n=2; M= Ni2+, Cu2+, Co2+, Mn2+ , Fe2+.<#LINE#> @ @ Kolb V.M., Kuffel A.
