Wood poles are popular and are used worldwide in the power supply industries because of their high strength per unit weight, low installation and maintenance costs, and local availability. However, the environmental sustainability which is another required criterion to appreciate the whole quality of wood utility poles has until now not received attention from the developing countries’ research community. To overcome this lack of interest, this study investigates the gate-to-grave life cycle environmental impacts, related to CBAtreated wooden utility poles used for electricity distribution in a developing country for primary environmental characterization of wood pole related operations. The gate-to-grave LCA covered four life stages of wood utility pole: shaping, treatment, in-service, and final disposal. Five impact categories have been assessed based on an extensive primary data search through a detailed life cycle inventory. Cameroon was taken as the case study and life stage operation data were taken from the national utility company while inputs and outputs emissions data were taken from literature. Impact category scores were expressed per functional unit which was taken as one 9 m eucalypt saligna pole processed and used in power distribution line with a lifetime of 30 years. The results showed that the following scores of 65.60 kg CO2-eq for global warming, 0.76 kg SO2-eq for acidification, 0.08 kg C2H4-eq for photochemical ozone formation, 2.00 kg 1,4-DB-eq for ecotoxicity, and 60.67 kg for solid waste have been recorded as environmental profile characterization values of a wood utility pole. Furthermore, activities related to the wood pole treatment have been identified as the most environmentally harmful with regard to global warming, acidification, and photochemical ozone formation, while in-service and final disposal life stages recorded the highest values in ecotoxicity and solid waste respectively. In spite of the fact that this study was based both on Cameroonian experience and on worldwide used primary emission data, it yielded good quality data unique for power pole LCA research in third world.

The present study was carried out to determine the physicochemical characteristics of water and the diversity of microalgae in three different mangrove ecosystems of Ernakulam district for a period of one year. Surface water temperatures varied from 30 0 C to 32 0 C. The pH ranged from 7.1 to 8.4 at all the stations during the course of study. The variation in the dissolved oxygen ranged from 0.48 to 1.28 mg/l, carbon dioxide from 0.88 to 3.6 ppm, alkalinity ranged from 15 to 20 ppm and the dissolved chloride ions ranges from 7.28g/l to 8.07 g/l. Concentrations of nutrients viz. phosphate (10.3 to 93.6 μg/l), nitrate (28.6 to 110.6 μg/l), varied independently their concentration recorded its maximum during the post monsoon period at all the stations studied. The presence of 18 different genera from Cyanophyceae, Chlorophyceae and Bacillariophyceae was recorded in the three stations. Oscillatoria, Chlorella and Navicula were the dominant species at all the three stations investigated.

The study sought to determine effects of exposure to occupational safety and health hazards on work environment in the Kenyan Kisumu County Water Service industry. The study utilized a descriptive research design. The target population consisted of employees of Kisumu Water and Sewerage Company (KIWASCO) and Lake Victoria South Water Service Board (LVSWSB) working in water treatment works, waste water treatment plants and construction sites. Questionnaires were used to obtain primary data; that were analyzed using quantitative techniques. Standard deviation was adapted to measure disparity for the likert-scale questionnaires. The entire hypothesis was tested at 95% confidence level. Risk Severity rating was then done for Biological, Chemical, Ergonomics, Physical, Psychological and Safety risks. Results reveal that employees working in the water service industry in Kisumu County are exposed to hazards and risks. Both Biological and Chemical risks are high or major among staff in the water sector. While Ergonomics, Physical and Psychological risks are minor, they are likely to happen in the sector. We recommend that the management of water service industry immediately institute measures to avoid the Biological and Chemical risks, while adequate preparedness should be put in place against other risks.

: Medical waste unlike other ordinary waste does not only poses serious health risk to the handlers, health staff andpatients but also to the environment. Waste management in general and particularly medical waste from health carefacilities is highly neglected in developing countries due to lack of trained personnel and lack of funds to adopt appropriate waste management technologies. In Cameroon, there is very little data available on the management of medical waste. This motivated this paper whose objective was to assess the medical waste managementpractices in health centers (public and private) in Maroua . The study used structured questionnaires, observation checklist and key informant interview guide to collect data fromall health personnel in health centers, local councils and decentralized government services in charge of hospitals and waste management respectively. It was observed that the number of health centers authorized by government is less than those actually operating in the field. Also managers of most health centers have designated some of their personnel or created commissions to manage waste. But nearly all of them have very little knowledge on medical waste management procedures as they are mainly trained by managers of their structures rather than experts. Generally medical waste management practices such as sorting, segregation, collection; treatment and disposal were very rudimentary and obeyed no standard rules.

The study was designed to investigate the determinants of food security in the home and its effect on nutritional status of adolescent’s students in Abia State of Nigeria. Five specific purpose and five null hypotheses were formulated to guide the study. A survey design was used for the study. 2000 students constituted the population while 500 respondents were the sample for the study. The researcher developed instrument named Food Security variables and Students Nutritional Status Questionnaire (FSVS NSQ) was used for data generation. Pearson Product Moment Correlation (PPMC) and Multiple Regression Analysis were used to analyse the five null hypotheses 1, 4 and 5 respectively at 0.05 alpha level and 498 degree of freedom. The findings revealed that there is joint relationship between food availability acceptability, affordability, sustainability and nutritional status of students in Abia State. Some recommendations were made such as School administration should encourage hand-on experiences in agriculture at all levels, as a means of creating awareness among children of the benefits of food production for improved nutritional status and its resultant effects.

Well logs observations have contributed to our understanding of the subsurface structures of the Arkoma Basin. These observations have led to a new explanation of the relationship between surface and subsurface structure of the basin. About 1500 well logs were used in this study to conduct a subsurface structural analysis of faults in the Arkoma basin of northcentral Arkansas. The Arkoma Basin is one of many petroleum basins in the United States which is structurally characterized by series of normal faults. In this study the faults were analyzed by building a structural contour map for Lower Atokan Formation (about 350 million years in age) and plotting nine cross sections using the well logs. The subsurface contour map shows very good match with the faults in the Arkoma basin. Two master fault zones were recognized in this study; the Mulberry and Clarksville fault zones, with displacement ranges from 1567 feet to 500 feet respectively. These fault zones trend northwest to southeast in the study area with an average strike azimuth of 285°. The principal stress axes that are responsible of forming the faults in the study area were calculated by measuring the attitudes of faults from the subsurface contour map and cross sections. The principal stress axes are represented by the plunge angle and plunge direction. The results show that the directions of the maximum, intermediate, and minimum stress axes of the Mulberry fault are 01°/286°, 69°/195°, 21°/016°, and of the Clarksville fault are 05°/287°, 66°/186°, and 24°/019° respectively. From these values, it can be seen that the two master faults are affected by the same tectonic stress regime. This study reveals a new finding of series of subsurface sub-basin structure in the analyzed area. One of the major sub-basins, named the Bullfrog Sub-basin, reveals tremendous extension about 4 miles to the surface and subsurface to the northcentral part of the area.

The pollution issues are a pervasive and increasing threat to human and forest ecosystem. Plants have been recognised as a method to reduce pollution. However, leaf is the most sensitive organ to pollution where changes in leaf morphological, physiological, anatomical and biochemical can occur. This study was conducted to determine the quantity of epicuticular wax on Syzygium myrtifolium leaves in urban, suburban and industrial areas. Three trees were selected in each of the study sites and new leaves on the branch was marked. 5 g of samples were collected for analysis. Leaf surface particles were extracted by using 20 ml of chloroform in conical flask and was left overnight for hardening where weight were recorded. Data analysis showed that the mean epicuticular wax ranged from 267.2-680.7 µg/m2 with a mean increment of 309.6-950.7 µg/m2 /yr. The epicuticular wax concentration on S. myrtifolium leaves was significantly higher in industrial areas compared to those in the urban and suburban areas. S. myrtifolium at industrial areas are in the open and subjected to direct sunlight and also responding to stress caused by the air pollutions. The low concentration of epicuticular wax was recorded on S. myrtifolium leaves in urban area. These trees are subjected to high concentration of pollutants especially from exhaust emissions and possible is due to the aerosol deposition which have been carried by the wind. This initial study reveal that the level of physiological stress on the trees in industrial, suburban and urban areas are at a different scale where the levels of air pollution is different. Understanding the tree traits are important to capitalize their role as bio filters. This study provide the baseline data for future study where the relationship between the particulate matters deposited on the tree canopy and the tree trait could be explained.

The present paper deals with the study of Chlorophyceae in Saroornagar Lake. Samples were collected from four sampling stations for a period of two years and comprehensive physico-chemical analysis was carried out. Linear multiple regression analysis (MRA) has been carried out in evaluating the importance of various physico-chemical variables on the growth and development of Chlorophyceae with SPSS software. The physico-chemical parameters played an important role in distribution and diversity of algae. Higher peaks of green algae were reported during summer and were represented by Chlorella vulgaris, Ankistrodesmusfalcatus, Scenedesmus sp. and Coelastrummicroporum. The species of Ankistrodesmusfalcatus, Chlorella vulgaris and Scenedesmus sp., Pandorinamorum, Actinastrumhantzchii, Pyrobotrysincurva and Micractiniumpusillum confirm eutrophic condition of the lake and act as indicators of organic pollution and represent pollution tolerant species. The indicator species of Chlorophyceae were represented by microphotographs.
