Organic pollutants present in the soil of a microcosm containing pulp and paper mill black liquor were extracted with hexane/acetone (1:1 v/v) to study the biodegradation and detoxification potential of a Bacillus sp. gas chromatography-mass spectroscopic (GC-MS) analysis performed after biodegradation showed formation of simpler compounds like p-hydroxyhydrocinnamic acid (retention time [RT] 19.3 min), homovanillic acid methyl ester (RT 21.6 min) and 3,5-dimethoxy-p-coumaric alcohol (RT 24.7 min). The methyltetrazolium (MTT) assay for cytotoxicity, 7-ethoxyresorufin-O-deethylase (EROD) assay for dioxin-like behavior and alkaline comet assay for genotoxicity were carried out in the human hepatocarcinoma cell line HuH-7 before and after bacterial treatment. Bioremediation for 15 days reduced toxicity, as shown by a 139-fold increase in black liquor’s LC50 value, a 343-fold reduction in benzo(a)pyrene equivalent value and a 5-fold reduction in olive tail moment. The EROD assay positively correlated with both the MTT and comet assays in post biodegradation toxicity evaluation. 相似文献

This paper analyses environmental and socio-economic barriers for plantation activities on local and regional level and investigates
the potential for carbon finance to stimulate the increased rates of forest plantation on wasteland, i.e., degraded lands,
in southern India. Building on multidisciplinary field work and results from the model GCOMAP, the aim is to (1) identify
and characterize the barriers to plantation activities in four agro-ecological zones in the state of Karnataka and (2) investigate
what would be required to overcome these barriers and enhance the plantation rate and productivity. The results show that
a rehabilitation of the wasteland based on plantation activities is not only possible but also anticipated by the local population
and would lead to positive environmental and socio-economic effects at a local level. However, in many cases, the establishment
of plantation activities is hindered by a lack of financial resources, low land productivity and water scarcity. Based on
the model used and the results from the field work, it can be concluded that certified emission reductions such as carbon
credits or other compensatory systems may help to overcome the financial barrier; however, the price needs to be significantly
increased if these measures are to have any large-scale impact. 相似文献

The upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) process is reported to be a sustainable technology for domestic wastewaters treatment in developing countries and for small communities. However, the inability of UASB process to meet the desired disposal standards has given enough impetus for subsequent post treatment. In order to upgrade the UASB based sewage treatment plants (STPs) to achieve desired effluent quality for disposal or for reuse, various technological options are available and broadly differentiated as primary post-treatment for the removal of organic and inorganic compounds and suspended matter; secondary post-treatment for the removal of hardly degradable soluble matter, colloidal and nutrients; and polishing systems for removals of pathogens. Hence, this paper discusses the different systems for the treatment of UASB reactor effluent treating sewage. Additionally, a comparative review, an economic evaluation of some of the emerging options was conducted and based on the extensive review of different integrated combination, i.e. UASB-different aerobic systems, a treatment concept based on natural biological mineralization route recognized as an advanced technology to meet all practical aspects to make it a sustainable for environmental protection, resource preservation and recovering maximum resources. 相似文献

Opencast mining of uranium may lead to natural erosion of ore material due to overland flow of water accumulated from rainfall. The overland flow may ultimately reach the nearby surface water body. This process may lead to the release of 238U and its daughter products into the surface water body. A model is developed to assess the radiological impact of the erosion in terms of dose through drinking water pathway due to 238U and its progeny in the surface water body. The in-growth of progeny is taken into account using Bateman equations. The study brings out the importance of incorporating decay chain transport in the radiological impact assessment studies. It is also observed that 210Po, 210Pb, 226Ra, and 230Th together contribute to about 95.5 % of the total dose. The model is then extended to incorporate the uncertainty associated with the dose due to consumption of the reservoir water by employing Wilk’s Method. Such a model can be very useful in establishing regulations related to dose through drinking water pathway around an opencast mine. Wilk’s method is computationally less expensive as compared to the exact methods like Monte Carlo method. Wilk’s method is used to calculate a value greater than α percentile value for the dose to the public due to 238U and its progeny in the reservoir through drinking water pathway with confidence level β (α/β value). When applied to a hypothetical case using some literature data on surface water bodies, it is found that with increase in the value of α or β, the α/β value in general, shows an increasing trend as expected. Depending upon the nature of the problem under study, one can calculate an α/β value i.e. 95/95 value, 99/95 value etc., and that value can be helpful in establishing the regulatory limiting value. Also, the α/β value can be used to check whether dose due to a particular radioactive release is within the specified limits. 相似文献

Inverse modeling technique based on nonlinear least square regression method (LSRM) is developed for the identification of aquatic source and transport parameters. Instantaneous line source release model in two-dimensional domain and continuous point source release model in three-dimensional domain are used for the purpose. Case studies have been carried out for both types of releases to illustrate their application. Error analysis has been carried out to identify the maximum error that can be tolerated in the input concentration data used in the inverse model and to specify the minimum number of sampling points to generate such input data. The LSRM is compared with the well-established correlation coefficient optimization method for instantaneous line source release model, and good comparison is observed between them. The LSRM is used to quantitatively estimate the releases of different radionuclides into the Pacific Ocean which has resulted due to the discharge of highly radioactive liquid effluent from the affected Daiichi Nuclear Power Station at Fukushima in Japan. The measured concentrations of these radionuclides in seawater samples collected from two sampling points near Fukushima are used for the estimation. The average release works out to be 1.09?×?1016 for 131I, 3.4?×?1015 Bq for 134Cs, and 3.57?×?1015 Bq for 137Cs. Very good agreement is observed between the releases estimated in this study and those estimated by other different agencies. 相似文献

Indian village ecosystems are diverse with respect to population pressures, agricultural activities and production, livestock
composition, energy sources, economics and infrastructural capabilities. Natural resource degradation is a major global concern
and the factors and processes leading to degradation are regional and scale up from the micro levels such as village ecosystems.
There is need for integrated multidisciplinary approaches for monitoring the resource status and environmental issues at the
decentralized level. This paper presents an approach to assess village ecosystems using a set of key indicators developed
and tested across fourteen diverse village ecosystems of the Southern India. The concept of ecosystem services associated
with village ecosystems of India has been described and adopted to identify indicators and assess issues and trends. Comparison
across villages has been demonstrated and the indicators successfully reflected the key environmental issues at each village
level as well as differences across villages. We also report unique cases of stabilized land use and ‘desakota-like’ trends
from village ecosystem studied. 相似文献

Summary The biomass and productivity of a montane grassland of Garhwal Himalaya were estimated with the objectives to compare these
values of the dominant exotic species, Eupatorium glandulosum HBK. (Asteraceae) with other species, and to compare the sites more dominated by this species with other study sites. The
effect of dominance of this species on other species was undertaken because of its continuous spread in the grasslands of
the Garhwal Himalaya causing replacement of some native grasses and economically important herbaceous plants. Out of six study
sites, SW1, SW2, and NE1 were more dominated by Eupatorium glandulosum. Total net primary productivity (TNP) ranged from 1528.5 to 2163.4 g m−2 yr−1. Eupatorium glandulosum showed individual highest biomass on all the study sites, and the sites more dominated by this species showed higher values
of primary productivity, thereby reducing the biomass and production of other species on these sites. 相似文献
