In this study, we analyzed the estimation accuracy of the annual average value of 16 volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the atmosphere according to the measurement frequency. As the analysis data, VOCs continuous monitoring data that has been observed hourly for 3 years at 6 points in Tokyo was used. In the case of 24 -hours sampling, the coefficient of variation (CV) of the annual average value in the 30 -days cycle to accurate annual average was 0 . 25 on average 16 substances. On the other hand, when the measuring day of the week is fixed, as in the case of the 7 -days cycle, there were substances that had a significantly higher CV. Especially for trichloroethylene and dichloromethane, it was higher than that in the 30 -days cycle. It was considered that this is influenced by the concentration fluctuation due to industrial and / or traffic activities, and it was speculated that if the measuring day of the week was fixed even once a month, the accuracy of the annual average value would decrease. In the monthly monitoring, the CV of the annual average value for one-week sampling was smaller than for the 24 -hours sampling. It was estimated that the monitoring 4 times per year with one-week sampling was the same level or less than the CV of the monitoring 12 times per year with the 24 -hours sampling. The annual average value by 1 -week sampling of 4 times per year was as accurate as the value obtained by 24 -hours sampling of 12 times per year that was commonly performed in Japan.

The concentrations of benzotriazole UV stabilizers (BUVSs) in water bodies and the atmosphere were analyzed in Hyogo, Japan. Only UV-326 was detected in the water at four sites in the Hokkesantanigawa-River system, with a maximum concentration of 2,800 ng/L. BUVSs were detected in most of the analyzed sediment samples, with UV-326 as the dominant compound, followed by UV-327, UV-328, and UV-320. Based on these observations, BUVSs appear to accumulate more readily in sediments than in water because of their strong hydrophobicity. BUVSs were detected in all the analyzed atmospheric samples, and similar to the water and sediment samples, UV-326 was the dominant compound. These results suggest that the production and usage of UV-326 in Hyogo Prefecture are greater than those of other BUVSs. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study that reports the presence of four BUVS substances (UV-320, UV-326, UV-327, and UV-328) in the atmosphere.

The following research work has been undertaken to examine the presence of heavy metals i.e., lead (Pb), Cadmium (Cd), Copper (Cu), Iron (Fe), Cobalt (Co) in some selected vegetables and fruits supplied in the local market. The process used to determine heavy metals is Atomic Absorption Spectrometer. Iron concentration in spinach, tomato, cauliflower and lady finger showed higher ranges which were exceeding the permissible limits. Cauliflower and spinach were within the limits specified. The pH value, ascorbic concentration and moisture content significantly decreased after oven drying of vegetables and fruits. However, the Total Soluble Solids (TSS) and ash content significantly increased after oven drying as compared with fresh vegetables and fruits. The present research data revealed that the fresh and oven dried vegetables such as Spinach, Cauliflower, Lady finger and Tomato contains 0.13-1.50%, 0.25-2.32%, 0.26-2.52% and 0.19-3.13% Titratable acidity respectively. Similarly, fresh and oven dried Guava Titratable acidity was highest 0.27 and 1.92 as compared with Water melon and Mango. The reduction in acidity may be due to catabolic activities in fruit cells and increased in pH. The pH value of vegetables and fruits dropped after oven drying. Similarly, ascorbic concentration and moisture content significantly decreased after oven drying as compared to fresh vegetables and fruits. However, the Total Soluble solids (TSS) and ash content significantly increased after oven drying as compared with fresh vegetables and fruits. Overall, from the following study we can conclude that vegetables and fruits were found to be contaminated by heavy toxic metals. Regular monitoring is required because these toxic metals will damage human body as well disturb our food chain. The main objective to conduct this study is to monitor the heavy metal toxicity and provide some recommendation, which in future will assure food safety and human health.

Dyeing wash-off operations in textile industries quite water intensive resulting into the generation of highly polluted wastewater. This study evaluated the treatment efficiency of electrocoagulation process to decolorize the synthetic effluent of CI Reactive Yellow 145 and then, the treated effluent was reused for 08 subsequent wash-off cycles of textile dyeing. The process parameters (Electrolysis time, applied current density and pH) were optimized and the maximum colour removal efficiency (98%) was achieved at pH 7, 10 minutes treatment time and current density of 90 A/m2. The fabric quality was assessed in terms of Colour difference and wash fastness properties. The Colour difference values of all dyed fabric samples up to 8 reuse cycles were ranged 0.38 to 0.85 which is industrially acceptable quality limit (ΔEcmc < 1). The wash fastness and Colour strength properties were also comparable to that of conventionally washed off fabric samples. However, an increase in pH, COD, TDS and turbidity was observed after every reuse but it did not deteriorate the quality of dyeing. This approach of reuse of electrocoagulation treated dye wash-off liquor up to 8 cycles provides a sustainable solution for textile industry.
