Acceptance of Solar Energy Reduces CO2 Emissions An Evidence from Seraikela Kharsawa District, Jharkhand

As the world showing concern towards reducing CO2 emission and moving towards utilization of renewable energy, Solar Energy emerges as one of best replacement for non renewable energy resources. In this particular study, investigation is carried out on how the utilization of solar power in household activities reduces the impact of CO2 emission in Seraikela Kharsawa District, Jharkhand. Primary and Secondary data has been collected from authentic sources and statistical analysis was performed based on collected data to study the impact of using solar energy. Result showed that 17 of resident totally depend on solar energy, 48 were partially depend on solar power and 20 increase in the use of solar power systems from 2019 to 2021 showed that impact of CO2 emission reduction. The change in behaviour of residents for adopting renewable energy i.e. solar energy will reduce CO2 emission not ultimately but slowly.

Enzymatic Pre Treatment of Chicken Feather Waste to Generate Biogas

August 08, 2021 0
Enzymatic Pre Treatment of Chicken Feather Waste to Generate Biogas

Feather is produced in large amounts as a waste in poultry slaughterhouses. Only 60 70 of the poultry slaughterhouse products is edible for human. 16 20 of the slaughterhouse by products contains keratin from this 7 9 consists of feather with 50 70 moisture content. Treatment of poultry feather anaerobically is a challenge, because of the complex, rigid, and fibrous structure of keratin, the main component of feathers. Under anaerobic conditions, poultry feather degrades poorly, which is the main obstacle for anaerobic digestion. The reported value of chicken feather methane potential is 0.19 –  0.20Nm3 kg VS, which is only one third of the theoretical value. It is an excellent raw material for biogas production due to high protein content. Dried chicken feathers contain about 90 proteins with 0.2 methane potential m3 kg 1 VS added and 0.05 methane potential m3 kg 1 wet weight . The keratin content of feather is difficult to digest, so physical, chemical and or biological pre treatment are needed in practice, which have to be set according to the utilization method. Feather was degraded with the help of enzyme and then digested in anaerobic bioreactors in different ratios. We used cattle slurry as control without feather. Our main objectives for this study were to determine the effect of enzymatic pre treatment, biogas methane potential of feather waste and the most effective treatment ratios. Chicken feather waste can also be digested or used with other feedstock as a co digestion substrate.

Impact of Climate Change on Island

Impact of Climate Change on Island

Climate change is one of the most pressing political, economic and environmental issues of our time. It demands honest and timely collective global actions. Despite the ever rising environmental catastrophes that are occurring around the world from destructive hurricanes, cyclones and flooding to sea level rise, coastal erosion, drought, fire, and sea acidification, there are climate change deniers who argue that climate change is not posing the kind of danger that is being put forward. Yet, if the global community does not take drastic measures now, climate change could result in many of the Pacific island nations being wiped from the map of the world in the not so distant future. The small island nations of the Pacific region are more vulnerable to the acute effects of climate change than any other region in the world. Most of these volcanic islands are barely a few metres above sea level. Ocean level rise amongst other climatic changes is threatening the very existence of these geographically isolated and small land masses. -˜The rising scale and the intensity of storm surges, saltwater intrusion and coastal destruction of the past decades have decimated coping capacities, leaving island populations with failing crops, crippling water shortages and an uncertain future’. The existential threat of environmental change is irrefutably claiming land and human lives year in and year out. It is now widely accepted by the scientific community that the Earth is undergoing drastic climate change due to increased greenhouse gas emissions1. Changes in global climate have occurred several times throughout the Earth’s history but have stretched over very long periods of time whereas currently these changes are taking place over the space of a century or less1,2,3. This rapid change, associated with other threats resulting from human activity related to production and consumption4, are having a strong impact on biodiversity. Considered as one of the five main causes of species and populations losses, climate change may lead to direct alterations of natural habitats, forcing species to move from their historical range, adapt to new environmental conditions, find refuge in unaltered microhabitats or may lead to species extinction. Importantly, climate change acts in synergy with other human induced threats, such as land use intensification or biological invasion, increasing their effects.Most small islands already have high burdens of climate sensitive diseases such as vector , food and water borne diseases like malaria, dengue and diarrhoeal disease.The effects of climate change including increased average temperatures, more frequent and severe extreme weather events and rising sea levels will exacerbate this disease burden with an expected increase in illnesses and deaths, as well as threatening access to safe food supplies, clean water and sanitation

Impact of Climate Change on Lakes of Rajasthan

Climate change is a global challenge with diverse implications at the national and subnational levels, through impacts on various sectors such as agriculture, water resources, forestry and biodiversity, human health, energy and infrastructure. Such diverse impacts require a range of strategies to be deployed for an effective response and for better preparedness towards climate change. In 2008, a National Action Plan on Climate Change NAPCC for India was released by the Honourable Prime Minister. In view of the criticality of addressing the challenges posed by climate change along with the imperatives of poverty alleviation and economic growth for India, the NAPCC -˜identifies measures that promote development objectives while also yielding co benefits for addressing climate change effectively’. The focus of NAPCC is to improve the understanding of climate science, adaptation, mitigation, energy efficiency and natural resource management and conservation. The NAPCC, further sets eight priority missions to respond to climate change these include National Missions on Solar Energy, Enhanced Energy Efficiency, Sustainable Habitats, Water, Sustaining the Himalayan Ecosystem, Greening India, Sustainable Agriculture and Strategic Knowledge for Climate Change, covering a range of response strategies.

Surface Air Temperature of Kolkata District of West Bengal, India A Statistical Study

The impact of steady increase in surface air temperature on climate change is a serious topic of today’s discussion. This study deals with the trend analysis and time series analysis and its future forecasts of surface air temperature of Kolkata district of West Bengal state, India during 1901 2002. The mean of annual average, maximum and minimum surface air temperature 0C of last 102 years are respectively 26.73, 31.26 and 22.23 with 1.27 , 1.28 and 1.73 coefficients of variation. A non parametric trend test namely the Mann Kendall MK Trend Test along with the Sen’s Slope estimator has been used to determine the monotonic trend of temperature and the magnitude of trend respectively. On the other hand, the Innovative Trend Test is also being performed for pattern determination. Both of the Mann Kendall MK Trend Test and Innovative Trend Test show that the trend of average, minimum and maximum surface air temperatures of Kolkata are increasing i.e. upwards in nature. The time series forecasts of surface air temperature are done by Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average ARIMA model. This upward trend of surface air temperature has an impact on human life and urbanization as well. The impact of climate change and related socio economic development will affect the ability of a nation to achieve sustainable development goals. The statistical analysis is carried out by using “R” Version 3.6.1 statistical software.

Solid Waste Management Pollution A Case Study with Kishtwar Perspective of Jammu Region of JandK India

Waste management SWM is a worldwide phenomenon and is a great concern in urban life in every city of the world. Developed countries of the world are viewing waste as their assets and converting waste into wealth. They use modern disposal and recycling technologies as well as state of the art equipments and ensuring their dwelling neat and tidy. SWM is a big challenge all over the world. Recycling is often viewed as an important aspect of an efficient and effective solid waste management system in the developed countries. The problem of solid waste management SWM is also prevailing in the Municipal environment of Kishtwar. Waste disposal and recycling is carried out in traditional way and same is disposed off in the open space without processing and not taking any precaution to protect the environment. This paper discussed about the role of organized cluster of households’ solid waste disposal, recycling and extracting benefits out off these waste in general and how employment can be generated from the garbage. Paper also suggested the involvement of community and Government initiatives to aware the city dwellers about waste isolation, classifications, collection, recycling and disposal.

Sanganer Textile and Dye Industries Causing Serious Environmental Pollution

June 18, 2021 0
Sanganer Textile and Dye Industries Causing Serious Environmental Pollution

Sanganer town, district Jaipur Rajasthan, India , is famous worldwide for its dyeing and printing industries. There are about 400 industries involved in textile printing processes, which discharge effluents into nearby ponds and drains, without any treatment. These effluents contain highly toxic dyes, bleaching agents, salts, acids, and alkalis. Heavy metals like cadmium, copper, zinc, chromium, and iron are also found in the dye effluents. Textile workers are exposed to such waters with no control over the length and frequency of exposure. Further, as the untreated effluents are discharged into the environment they can cause severe contamination of surface and underground water. Dyeing and textile printing industries of Sanganer houses about 400 small scales and one large scale industry 1 . These industries use a variety of chemicals and azo dyes direct, reactive, rapid, mordant and premetalised etc. during processing and finishing of raw materials. The workers in those industries are exposed to such dyes with no control over the length and frequency of exposure. Further, a huge volume of mostly untreated textile dye wastewater 10,000 15,000 Kl day is released into surface waters of Amani Shah drainage or through the drainage systems, seeps into the groundwater and adjoining water bodies flowing through Sanaganer. The untreated waste water is discharged directly into the drains that connect the industry to the main drainage network through the nullas in the town. The effluents disposed in open drains are directly used for crops cultivation which affects the nearby agricultural land also. The study deals with the collection of effluent from one of the large scale printing and dyeing industry in Sanganer town and physicochemical characterization of these samples in order to find out the physio chemical load put in by the effluent on the wastewater stream. Environmental pollution caused by such textile effluents results in adverse effects on flora, fauna, and the general health of not only the textile workers, but also the residents of Sanganer town. Therefore, to assess the possible genotoxic health risk and environmental genotoxicity due to the textile industry effluents, this study was carried out using the Ames Salmonella microsome mutagenicity assay. The results clearly indicate that the effluents and the surface water of Amani Shah drainage have high mutagenic activity. Further, the drainage water and the dry bed of the drainage during summer months are not fit for agricultural or other recreational purposes. Wastewater and groundwater samples of Sanganer were studied to find out the pollution load of wastewater generated from dyeing and printing units and its impact on the quality of domestic wastewater of the Amanishah Nallah and groundwater. The wastewater of these units was found to have high concentrations of sodium, chloride, and sulfate. It has remarkable concentrations of copper, chromium, and iron with low chemical oxygen demand and nearly 7 fold biochemical oxygen demand. The wastewater of these units, discharged on land without any treatment, comes into the Amanishah Nallah through small watercourses. The quality of the domestic wastewater of Nallah deteriorates with the mixing of wastewater from these units. Maximum concentrations of physicochemical parameters were found at the Sanganer Road bridge sampling point. Eleven groundwater samples, collected from various locations of Sanganer, were found polluted due to percolation of wastewater into the ground. Copper and chromium were recorded from some groundwater sources while iron was recorded from almost all sources. Sodium and chloride are the major cation and anion in the groundwater, which is identical to the wastewater of dyeing and printing units. 2

Optimisation of Biogas Production using Nanotechnology

Nanotechnology largely affects a more extensive scope of biotechnological, pharmacological and unadulterated innovative applications. In this paper we would be covering the use of nanotechnology in the production as well as optimisation of biogas. This paper clearly shows the potential and relationship between the both – biogas production and nanotechnology via various feedstock characterisation studies which was done during this paper. The aim of this paper is to showcase how these both technologies complement each other and how nanotechnology is applied in feedstock and convert it to biogas. Our study shows how nanotechnology is applied on pressmud and gas production is enhanced at laboratory level. The digestion of pressmud with nanomaterials were studied. Our study clearly indicates that the biogas production can surely be enhanced in case of treating pressmud by using magnetite nanoparticles which gives higher methane yields compared to normal digestion without nanoparticles. This study not only confirms the enhanced biogas generation from pressmud but also confirms that on other biodegradable material the same principle can be applied and gas production can be enhanced. Our study surely will be an important tool for implementing of nanotechnology in biogas research and enhanced production wherever the press mud is available.

A Retrospection of Hydrogen Sulphide Removal Technologies in Biogas Purification

April 01, 2021 0
A Retrospection of Hydrogen Sulphide Removal Technologies in Biogas Purification

Biogas is a valuable renewable energy source and a secondary energy carrier provided by anaerobic digestion of biodegradable organic materials. It can be used as a fuel in a number of ways. Methane CH4 and carbon dioxide CO2 are the main components of biogas, with other pollutants such as ammonia NH3 , water vapour H2O , hydrogen sulphide H2S , methyl siloxanes, nitrogen N2 , oxygen O2 , halogenated volatile organic compounds VOCs , carbon monoxide CO , and hydrocarbons present in varying amounts. H2S is a toxic and odorous compound formed by the anaerobic digestion of bio solids and other organic materials, and it is also one of the pollutants in biogas. Hydrogen sulphide must be eliminated because it is toxic to human health, poisonous to process catalysts, and corrosive to machinery. Desulfurization, or the removal of hydrogen sulphide, is an integral part of biogas utilization efficiency. The conventional desulfurization technologies for biogas that are currently available were reviewed in this paper.

Impact of Herder Activities on Rangelands at Semi Arid Zone of North Darfur State, Sudan

The research work was conducted over a two years’ period of 2015 and 2016 at three sites of Alfashir locality Ummarahik 25km north of Alfashir, Fashar in eastern part of Alfashir about 5km and Berka 30km west of Alfashir , Western Sudan in semi arid zone. The objectives were to assess the effect of human activities and animal grazing on rangelands, specific objectives were to assess grazing intensity and tree shrub in the study area. In the first season the results showed that the higher number of quadrates subjected to grazing were at level II with the percentage of 55.56 for Ummarahik, and percent of 44.44 and 38.89 at level I grazing for Berka and Fashar. In Berka there was 5.56 for no grazing, and 16.67 in Fashar. Also the result showed there was 16.67 at level IV in Berka and Ummarahik and 11.11 in Fashar. In the second season the result showed that the percent of no grazing were 22.22 and 16.76 in Berka and Fashar respectively, also the result showed there was no grazing at level IV in Berka and Ummarahik. Berka had highest tree shrub density which scored 32 and 23 tree ha at season 2015 and 2016 respectively. Fashar scored lowest density 7 and 5 tree ha.Balaniteaegyptiaca was the dominant tree species in the study area, while other species were less. The study concluded that unwise utilization and exploitation of the rangelands particularly by man causes range deterioration and serious reduction in range production, so, the study suggested that improvement and rehabilitation should be done. Further research work is needed to assess rangelands at different ecological zones in North Darfur State.

Assessment of Vegetation Change on Semi Arid Zone of the Sudan, Case Study Alfashir Locality

The study was conducted at Alfashir, North Darfur State, Sudan, for two consecutive years 2016 and 2017 during flowering and seed setting stages. The objectives of this study were to evaluate range condition and trend by monitoring vegetation changes overtime. Vegetation Measurements were done to collect data on the following range composition, species composition, plant density, ground cover and dry matter yield. The result showed highly plant and lower litter and bare soil at first period also first period had higher ground cover, plant density and productivity than second period. The study showed that some species were disappear at the second period like Corchorus olitorius, Requenia obcordata and Zornia sp. While the species of Eragrostis sp was appear at second season. The study concluded that some species were not found at the second period, the reason may be high competition between species and variation of rainfall. Further research works is needed to monitoring vegetation change and assess the rangelands across different ecological zones in North Darfur State.

Factors Affecting Plastic Waste Management in Enugu Metropolis, Enugu State Nigeria

Plastic waste ubiquity in the environment poses lots of threats to the ecosystem. The improper management of these wastes has led to the deterioration of the aesthetic beauty of the environment, blocking of drainage systems thereby causing an overflow of water, loss of aquatic life, reduction of soil fertility, pollution of water bodies. Therefore this study was aimed at determining the factors affecting plastic waste management in Enugu Metropolis using a survey design method. Data obtained were analyzed using Principal Component Analysis PCA . Results showed that governmental, attitudinal, political, and economic factors are the factors that affect plastic waste management in Enugu Metropolis. Attitudinal change by the public towards the use of plastic products and management of its corresponding waste is necessary. This can be achieved through awareness creation on the environmental impact of plastic waste.

Compliance to COVID 19 Preventive Measures towards the Environmental Health in Nigeria Universities

Compliance with COVID 19 preventive measure is a double edge sword cutting through the fabric of the everyday life of the Nigerian citizen and the university environment to be precise. it is considered that the viral respiratory infections spread by direct contacts, such as touching an infected person or the surfaces that the person has either touched, on which large virus containing droplets expired by the person lands and there the virus can remain stable for days. The disease is also believed to be spread across a short distance by air. The clinical manifestation of COVID 19 is a dry cough, fever, and tiredness. Other symptoms which may manifest in patients include headache, aches, pains, nasal congestion, sore throat, conjunctivitis, diarrhea, loss of taste or smell or discoloration of fingers or toes. It is important to note that there is a lot of false knowledge and misconceptions about the disease in Africa and Nigeria. These misconceptions affect the degree of compliance to the stipulated preventive measures and also exact an indirect effect of the disease on our environmental health. Compliance with the preventive measure while aides in mitigating the spread of the virus also affect other aspects of our environmental health and our ecosystem by extension. Some of the preventive measures are constant washing of hands, use of face mask, social distance, and self isolation.

Impact of Locating Boreholes Near Septic Tanks Pit Latrines on Drinking Water Quality in Uyo Metropolis, Akwa Ibom State

Water is one of the most indispensible elements of life. One of the major uses of water by man is for drinking, hence drinking water quality has become a major concern in this regard because poor quality water can cause outbreak of major epidemics and death. In this study, impact of locating boreholes near septic tanks pit latrines on drinking water quality in Uyo metropolis, Akwa Ibom State was investigated. The water samples were collected from thirty 30 locations and categorized into i water from boreholes near W near and ii far from septic tanks pit latrines W far. Some physicochemical parameters analyzed were temperature, pH, electrical conductivity, turbidity, dissolved oxygen DO , biochemical oxygen demand BOD5 , salinity i.e. sulphate, carbonate, nitrate, phosphate and chloride ions , total hardness TH , total dissolved solids TDS , total suspended solids TSS and total alkalinity. Pairwise comparison between quality of W near and W far revealed that only BOD 5, TH and TDS had significant mean difference MD at 5 level of probability while their comparison with World Health Organization permissible limit P WHO showed higher significant MD. All the values of parameters were within P WHO, except that of temperature and pH. Based on the results, the water chemistry is tolerable and may not cause any critical damage to the water distribution system as well as utility components. However, treatment is still suggested and boreholes should be drilled some reasonable distances far away from septic tanks pit latrine to guarantee safe drinking water.

Essence of Compliance with Road Setbacks Standards in Developmental Projects in Anambra Capital Territory

This paper examined the essence of setbacks in siting structures and buildings in ACT. The aim is achieved through the objective, to determine the essence of setbacks in developmental projects in Anambra Capital Territory. As a result of non compliance with road setbacks for development, ACT had become characterized by inadequate and deteriorated road network, walkways, unregulated building patterns, poor sanitation, uncontrolled street trading, mountains of garbage and chaotic transport system creating traffic and human congestion, noise pollution and overcrowding, among others. This work intends to address these issues and educate the citizens how essential are road setbacks. To achieve the stated aim, the study determined the essence of the sited structures to set standards in ACT. The foremost causes of non compliance with road setbacks in ACT approved by professionals and non professionals were also identified. The findings conclude that since there is a severe environmental effect in ACT, there is need for environmental education and awareness in the area, so as to educate the public on the importance implementing road setbacks. When people understand the reasons for urban planning, they will be far less likely to violate the legal construction standards and will likewise make objections known.

The Gendered Effects of Climate Variability Change on Fisher Livelihoods and the Coping Strategies Opportunities in Mbita, Homa Bay County, Kenya

Global warming influences have brought negative climate change consequences on global livelihoods and household food security of the world’s 36 million fisher folks and nearly 1.5 billion consumers who rely on fish for their dietary animal protein. Past studies have concentrated on climate change influences of marine and oceans’ fisher communities they have investigated mainly climate variability and climate change impacts on fish distribution and production. Limited studies have explored the interaction between impacts of climate change on the fishing activities on inland and fresh waters such as in Lake Victoria and the fishers’ adaptive activities. The discussion of this article is based on a research which was focused on Mbita location on the shore of Lake Victoria where fishing is main livelihood activity of local community. The study was guided by the following research objectives to Determine the influence of gendered effect of climate change variability on fisher activities among the Mbita and Highlight the current coping strategies and underscore the possible opportunities available to the fishers due to CV CC in Mbita sub county. The study used a constructivist epistemology paradigm and the mixed methods research design to collect and process the findings presented. Yamane’s formula 1964 is used to get the sample size of 388 respondents out of a target of of 13191. Primary data was collected using questionnaires interview schedules for KII and FGDs. Secondary data collection was collected through reviewing of relevant documented information, from fisheries and climate change reports, working documents and related research articles on Mbita for the last 30 years. The validity of the instrument was done through content validity with the supervisors. The instruments were piloted in test retest and data generated processed using computer supported software SPSS Statistical Package for Social Sciences and presented in descriptive and inferential statistics. The study found that there was reduced fish catch was statistically significant with a p value of 0.000. The effect of climate change on the loss of life of the fishers is statistically significant with a p value of 0.001 and under the objective on coping strategies the study found that adaptation required transformation of mind set that called for bigger investment which required the collaboration and consultation of entire Mbita community and county government to address environmental and conservative resource utility. The study concluded that lack of alternative livelihood opportunities options is the major constraints to adaptation for people living in the Lake Victoria region escalated with limitation of skills outside fishing industry, limitation of other employable professional skills including lack of capital. The study recommends a trans disciplinary consientization of adaptive strategies which can translate into flexible and sustainable CCA gender inclusive livelihood activities. Future research should explore participatory action research on environmental influences affecting CCA by comparing findings across other beaches.
