Physicochemical parameters like Temperature, Transparency, pH, Electrical Conductivity (EC), Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), Dissolved Oxygen (DO), Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD), and Alkalinity of samples were analyzed collected from selected sampling stations. Concentration of heavy metals (Pb, Cr, Cd, Cu, Ni, and Zn) in water and selected fish samples (Mystus aor, Ompok pabda, Mystus vittatus and Pseudeutropius atherinoides) were also analyzed. The experiment revealed that the mean values for some physicochemical parameters like TDS, EC, BOD and alkalinity (62.00 mg/l, 368.67µS/cm, 28.67mg/l, 8400mg/l, respectively) were beyond the acceptable limit and others such as Transparency and DO (10.67cm and 2.63mg/l respectively) were under the standard limit whereas average Temperature and pH value for haor water samples were 28.200C and 7.43, respectively. The concentration of some heavy metals (Pb, Cr, Cd and Ni) in water samples was higher than the standard whereas some (Zn and Cu) remain under permissible limit. In case of fish samples, the concentration of all heavy metals (Pb, Cr, Cd, Ni, Zn and Cu) was remaining under the permissible limit. The experimental results highlights the quality of water and metal concentration in fish samples in regards to its suitability for different use.<#LINE#>Razo, I., Carrizales, L., Castro, J., Diaz, B.F. and Moroy, M.

In caterpillar stage the yield of crop is reduced as they defoliate leaves. Eradication of this pest by using synthetic insecticide is creating serious health hazards to non-target organisms and severe environmental pollution. In such a scenario, use of Botanical insecticides are effective, ecologically acceptable and safe instead of uncontrolled used of insecticide. As a result, the purpose of this study was to see how methanolic leaf extracts of Clerodendrum infortunatum and Chromolaena odorata affected protein content and protein profile in haemolymph of the sixth instar larval stage of Orthaga exvinacea under laboratory circumstances. Sixth instar larvae of the pest were fed with the 1-5 different concentrations of both leaf extracts treated mango leaves. The larvae were sacrificed after 48 hours to collect haemolymph and bioassay was carried out. The quantitative study of protein showed that there was some considerable decrease in the amount of protein with the increase in concentration of botanicals. In addition to this, electrophoretic analysis of haemolymph protein showed some alterations in protein profile of botanical treated samples compared to control. Both appearances of new protein bands and disappearances of some protein bands were noticed in protein profile of treated larvae with increase in botanical concentrations. The study discovered that C. odorata had a higher efficacy than C. infortunatum in altering the physiology of larvae, and that both botanicals have the potential to be utilized as new natural Biopesticides.<#LINE#>Srivastava, R.

Momin Women’s College, Bhiwandi, Dist Thane, Maharashtra, India<#LINE#>10/10/2021<#LINE#>6/5/2022<#LINE#>There are different textile and dyeing industries in the Bhiwandi city, District Thane, Maharashtra. The Bhiwandi city is famous for fabrication, dyeing and bleaching, printing, finishing of cloths and fabrics due to which textile and dyeing industries are very famous in this city. Textile industries consume large quantity of water and in turn generate huge amount of waste water which are saturated with different types of pollutant and heavy metals. In present study the vanadium which is a heavy metal is analyzed spectrophotometrically by forming peroxy complex with hydrogen peroxide. The current experimental work yielded a higher level of this metal than the typical value. As a result, it was determined that textile effluents are not suitable for disposal into water reservoirs without treatment in terms of Vanadium metal pollution.<#LINE#>Ademoroti, C. M.

This traditional method of mining hinders the productiveness of ASMs with full potential, especially ASM associations that are located in Arero woreda. These ASM associations are extremely subjected to such kinds of problems. To make ASMs more productive than ever, the most essential mining equipment and processing technologies should be available with the required amount and specification. But making available all equipment and machines to each individual ASM association is a challenging issue in most developing countries, like Ethiopia. So, to compromise on such a kind of issue, clustering all ASM associations into a group based on their geographic location, proximity to each other, and the type of mineral they mine, and after that, the government or any stakeholder that is involved in the mining sector can make available the required mining equipment and processing technologies to the clustered zone of ASM associations to a centralized area which is accessible to all ASM clustered associations. The main objective of this study is focused on how to cluster and zoning all ASMs located in Arero woreda and supply the required mining equipment and processing technologies to make ASMs more productive.<#LINE#>Hilson, G. & Maconachie, R.

Therefore, many countries all over the world embedded lockdown to stop prevalence of the virus. This virus causes huge economic loss and many other negative impacts throughout the world, specially in our country. But it is true that there are two sides of every phenomenon, positive and negative. This article collects data from various websites, web-blogs, newspaper and other reports on the Internet for the purposes of studying the Bright Side of Covid-19 Pandemic for specific reasons. Due to lockdown there were a reduction of transportation which results less pollution in air and water. Road accident and crime rate had been reduced very much. Various wild animals and birds were able to roam freely in the forest and also in the locality. Machinery lifestyle ruined peoples' family time, due to lockdown people have spent a lot more quality time with their family. Many of them felt comfortable and enjoyed their family time. This pandemic is a lesson for us to learn many new skills like improvement in sanitation, doing yoga, maintain hand hygiene etc. At the end we can say that it is too early to evaluate the overall positive scenario of Covid-19 in the world, but it is quite good to have some initial discussion. In order to stabilize the current drops in the level of air pollution and water pollution, serious policy changes need to be implemented.<#LINE#>Najeeb K. K.
