Ludhiana city of Punjab is famous for dyeing and printing of textile fabric. Every day, increase usage of chemical-based dyestuff release into the natural surface water body (Buddha Nallah) which destroys the environment and proved to be a great ecological hazard. The workers in these industries have no control over pace and space of exposure. Both untreated as well as treated effluents from these industries are released into surface waters through the drainage systems. But many dyes was proved to be carcinogenic to the people of Ludhiana city a complete evaluation safety of these dyes include assessment of mutagencity of these dyes. Five dyes textile dyes from Ludhiana city were collected from textile industries present near Buddha nalah and tested for their mutagencity by using Ames test with the strain Salmonella typhimrium TA 100

Solid waste management (SWM) is a general wellbeing administration whose significance is frequently downplayed. At the point when the strong waste administration challenge is exacerbated by a general wellbeing crisis, for example, the Covid-19 pandemic, its genuine centrality as a fundamental help turns out to be progressively evident. The episode and spread of the novel coronavirus (Covid-19) has prompted sensational changes of each segment of the Nigerian culture including SWM frameworks, where formal and casual on-screen characters exist together frequently in an uncomfortable relationship. Tragically, methodologies for comprehensive administration of strong squanders during and after the Covid-19 pandemic are inadequate in Nigeria, fuelling the further rejection of casual area in the waste administration and strategy process in Nigeria. This paper audits the condition of the Covid-19 pandemic in Nigeria, distinguishes strategy holes in strong waste administration and features the linkages between Covid-19 and SWM with the end goal of catalyzing comprehensive strong waste administration and supportability strategy in Nigeria. It is contended that recognizing the casual economy is the basic initial move towards confining a feasible SWM strategy in which essential partners are included. It is critical to perceive the job of waste laborers and administrations as a basic component, especially in this period. Squander assortment is critical to forestall a development of waste and to keep regions away from waste to empower other fundamental administrations to proceed. This is the reason squander workers have been allowed 'key specialist' status by the UK government, which means they will proceed to receive instructive and care arrangement for their kids during the current coronavirus crisis, so they will have the option to proceed with their basic administrations, and have been delegated Essential Services by numerous different nations. Furthermore, every region/neighborhood authority needs to create emergency courses of action that will ensure that basic waste administrations ought to be continuous regardless, just to ensure that no additional wellbeing dangers are included head of the pandemics. Emergency courses of action should include elective answers for staff, vehicles, irresistible waste, amassing of waste, washing, purification, and road cleaning administrations. The guideline behind the exhortation is that it isn't perilous for people to deal with their own recyclables in their own homes, since they can just taint themselves and their families, in the event that they are as of now wiped out or regardless uncovered.

Groundwater is the largest source of usable fresh water in the world. A special significance is emphasized on study of groundwater quality for drinking, industrial and domestic water supply. Most of the population of Udupi district completely depends on groundwater for their drinking, domestic and irrigation purposes. Hence, in this study, about 35 bore-well water samples were collected from 35 different wards of Udupi municipal area. For each groundwater sample, about 26 water quality parameters, such as pH, electrical conductivity (EC), total dissolved solids (TDS), total hardness, total alkalinity, sodium, ammonium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, fluoride, chloride, nitrate, sulphate, phosphate, hydroxide, bicarbonate, carbonate, copper, chromium, manganese, iron, cobalt, nickel, cadmium and lead were determined. Conductivity and pH meter were used for the analysis of pH, electrical conductivity and total dissolved solids. Titration was used for analysis of total hardness and total alkalinity. Ion chromatography method was used for analyzing groundwater samples for cations and anions. Whereas, atomic absorption spectrometer was used for the analysis of groundwater samples for heavy metals. The study aims at studying the hydrogeochemical relationship of groundwater using Piper's trilinear diagram and understanding the suitability of groundwater for drinking and irrigation purposes. Also, ArcGIS-9.2 software was used to represent the spatial distribution of water quality index in the study area.

Bioremediation is an alternative way to manage or to degrade the waste. It is eco friendly and much cost effective as compared to other traditional technique such as incineration. The main purpose of this paper is to pay more attention towards bioremediation. This paper outlines the different processes of bioremediation, their limitation and the process to remove different heavy metals, and other waste which is harmful to human beings. When metals are treated with microbes it get accumulated or attached on microbialmembrane.And after that it can be extract frommicrobes through cell fragmentation.
