The Kallur mandli and Sagar road industial estate of shimoga in and around collected sediment samples from ponds, channel and, river for present study. The samples were analyzed heavy metals Viz., Cd, Pb, Ni, Zn, Cu, Mn and Fe. The obtained results are compared with non-polluted sediments of near gadikoppa pond sample, which is away from the industrial activity for used as back ground values. The study area samples exhibits higher concentration of Cd, Pb, Ni, Zn, Cu, Mn and Fe than the unpolluted values. Thus, industrial activity has allowed the accumulation of certain heavy metals by transportation and deposition into surrounding area of pond, channel and river sediment matrix. The contamination of the sediments with metals at few locations is attributed to industries and other anthropogenic causes. Key words: Shimoga, Trace elements, pond, channel, river 1.

To this effect samples of three different brands of full cream milk powder were collected from Harar local market, Each of 3 ml of fresh milk samples wereRead MoreThe Clean Water Project Is A Social Marketing Intervention For Providing The Community With Safe Drinking Water2062 Words   |  9 PagesMcKinney â€Å"aging municipal water pipes account for a significant amount of heavy metal toxicity in the supply of drinking water. These metal pipes, containing iron, zinc, lead, copper, mercury and nickel and other substances, corrode over time, allowing heavy metals to leach into the water flowing through them. Delivered community-wide for drinking and other uses, water from corroded pipes can carry unsafe levels of these metals, endangering human health† Phase 1: Social Assessment The objective isRead MoreEssay about The Future of P2P Technology and Music697 Words   |  3 Pagespeople in the entertainment industry have tried to exterminate that P2P â€Å"Peer to Peer† technology. But it looks as if their efforts are in vain. People are going to use P2P technology more and it might as well become the official way to handle music distribution. The music industry should rather take advantage of the technology than keep trying to exterminate it. Originally, Napster was a kind of file sharing software.

Foam fractionation, ionic flotation, molecular flotation, microflotation, froth flotation- these diverse types of foam separation techniques allow the separation and purification of a wide variety of components starting from detergents to heavy metal ions and proteins. Gibbs adsorption isotherm, Young-Laplace equation, Langmuir isotherm control the separation parameters. The easy apparatus setting and simplistic separation process leads to its utilization in analytical purposes and economicallyRead MoreWater Drinking Water Quality Standards936 Words   |  4 Pagesconsuming too much water too quickly, can be fatal. Physical and chemical parameters include heavy metals, trace organic compounds, total suspended solids, and turbidity. Microbiological parameters include Coliform bacteria, E. coli, and specific pathogenic species of bacteria, viruses, and protozoan parasites. Chemical parameters tend to pose more of a chronic health risk through buildup of heavy metals although some components like nitrates/nitrites and arsenic can have a more immediate impactRead MoreThe Endocrinology Of Male And Female Reproduction1447 Words   |  6 Pagesatresia and impair reproductive capability. Thecal cells, which normally provide precursors for steroids made by the granulosa cells, can be targeted by chemicals and decrease follicular function.
