Pimpinella anisum (anise), belonging to Umbelliferae family, is an aromatic plant which has been used In Iranian traditional medicine (especially its fruits) as carminative, aromatic, disinfectant, and galactagogue. Pimpinella anisum is a plant rich in volatile oils, which are employed in the folk medicine. So far, different studies were performed on aniseeds and various properties such as antimicrobial, antifungal, antiviral, antioxidant, muscle relaxant, analgesic and anticonvulsant activity as well as different effects on gastrointestinal system have been reported of aniseeds. It can also reduce morphine dependence and has beneficial effects on dysmenorrhea and menopausal hot flashes in women. In diabetic patients, aniseeds showed hypoglycemic and hypolipidemic effect and reduce lipid peroxidation. The most important compounds of aniseeds essential oil were trans-anetole, estragole, γ-hymachalen, para-anisaldehyde and methyl cavicol.

Water is important for survival of living beings on the planet Earth. Drinking water quality should be as per drinking water standards to avoid the health effects. Anthropogenic activities have deteriorated the groundwater quality. In urban areas groundwater quality is more or less not suitable for drinking purpose. Shallow water table areas are more prone to water pollution due to anthropogenic activities. Rai block is located in Sonipat district of Haryana. The block covers an area of 280.49 sq.km. In the present study 20 groundwater samples in Rai block were collected in the month of January, 2019. The samples were analyzed using Field Water Testing Kit prepared by Tamil Nadu water Supply and Drainage Board, Chennai for twelve chemical parameters-pH, alkalinity, hardness, chloride, total dissolved solids (TDS), fluoride, iron, nitrate, nitrite, ammonia, phosphate and residual chlorine. Chemical analysis of groundwater samples show that pH 6.5 to 9, alkalinity 100-2700 mg/l, hardness 130920 mg/l, chloride 20 750 mg/l, TDS 828-3350 mg/l, fluoride 1-3 mg/l, iron nil to 5 mg/l, ammonia 0.5 1 mg/l, nitrite 0.2-1.0 mg/l, nitrate 45-100 mg/l, phosphate nil to 2 mg/l and residual chlorine nil to 0.2 mg/l. Groundwater is non-potable at Rasoi-2 (pH 9, alkalinity 860 mg/l, fluoride 2 mg/l, iron 5 mg/l, ammonia 1mg/l, nitrate 100mg/l), Rasoi-1 (alkalinity 2700 mg/l, TDS 3350 mg/l, fluoride 3 mg/l, nitrate 100 mg/l), Jakholi-3 (alkalinity 780 mg/l, nitrate 100 mg/l), Nathupur (alkalinity 850 mg/l, fluoride 3 mg/l, ammonia 1 mg/l), Bahalgarh (Hardness 920 mg/l, TDS 2388 mg/l, fluoride 2 mg/l, ammonia 1mg/l), Jatheri-1 (Hardness 700 mg/l), Liwaspur (Hardness 800 mg/l, TDS 2064 mg/l, ammonia 1 mg/l), Sabauli (fluoride 3 mg/l, nitrate 100 mg/l), Nangal Kalan (fluoride 3 mg/l, ammonia 1 mg/l, nitrate 75 mg/l), Patla-2 (iron 3mg/l, ammonia 1 mg/l), Jakholi-2 (iron 1 mg/l, nitrate 100 mg/l, phosphate 2 mg/l ), Sewli-1(ammonia 1mg/l), Rai-1( ammonia 1 mg/l), Jat Joshi (ammonia 1 mg/l), Jat Joshi-2 (ammonia 1 mg/l).

According to a report published by Green Peace (2018), Bareilly city has been reported as one of the most seven polluted cities. Bareilly city do not have too much of industrialization but poor environmental management by the citizens and administration worsen the air quality during Diwali festival. Air monitoring of gaseous pollutant (sulphur dioxide) was done at Bareilly city as per CPCB guidelines from three monitoring stations (A, B and C) for a period of two years (2019-2020). During pre-monsoon season of 2019 all station reported SO values below the specified limits 2 of 60μg/m but station A reported values on the higher side. When lockdown was imposed in March 2020 due to the outbreak of novel corona virus in India and there was significant cut down in SO . While conducting the two-way ANOVA test for SO 2 2 during both pre-monsoon and post-monsoon seasons from three stations at Bareilly in 2019, it was found that F>F and p-value<0.05. This paper focuses on the monitoring, crit. analysis and interpretation of SO at Bareilly city. 2 3 ANALYSIS OF SEASONAL AND ANNUAL TRENDS OF SULPHUR DIOXIDE AS AIR POLLUTANT IN BAREILLY CITY Received on: 31.08.2021 Revised on: 29.09.2021 Accepted on: 30.09.2021

The bio-based polymer Poly-Lactic Acid (PLA) exists as one of the commercialized, environmentally sustainable, and bio-degradable products. Due to its inherent properties, it is currently being implemented in a variety of polymer-dependent industries such as automotive, electronics, packaging, 3D printing, etc. The knowledge of these properties and the process of production for such PLA-based bioplastics, in conjunction with modifications to said processes for appropriate application in specific areas, have catapulted scientific, technological, and commercial advances in this field. In this review, synthetic and bio-based lactic acid production process, recovery and polymerization into PLA, and various applications such as in tissue engineering and drug deliveries have been summarized. The major interest is given to PLA-based composites and their utilization. It provides an in-depth assessment of the various methods and techniques implemented for PLA production and use.

Lockdowns measures including closure of educational institutions due to COVID-19 may affect youth's activity patterns, psychological stress and obesity status. This is the first kind of study in India on the basis of a large number of teenage subjects from the COVID-19 Impact on Lifestyle Changes. Through an online questionnaire, 144 participants from high schools, aged 10-19 years, voluntarily reported their lifestyles and weight, basal metabolic rate (BMI) status in between 19th July to 12th August 2020 (before and after lockdown). Our data suggest that teenagers having prevalence of significant weight (49.6±15.5 to 52.1±15.2 Kgs p <0.001) and BMI (21.0± 1.2 to 22.7±.1.7 p<0.01) gain. Data further showed that this weight gain was for 71.1 % teenagers and BMI 67.2% subjects. Also, significant decreases were seen in the frequency of engaging in active physical activity, and leisure-time walking, while significant increases were observed in the average sedentary time during weekdays and weekends. Our findings would serve as important evidence for making strategies to counteract or reverse the lockdown effects on youths' obesity.

Coal is one of the important primary sources of energy in India, which are generally extracted through open cast mining. However, coal mining activities, particularly open cast mining method are known to result in adverse environmental impacts such as vegetation loss, air pollution, ground water contamination along with changes in land use land cover (LULC) features. Hence, reliable temporal data on the impact of mining activities are required to aid in mine reclamation and management efforts. Assessment of LULC changes over the last two decades was carried out in this study in Ramagundam coal field, a part of the Pranhita-Godavari valley using Google Earth Engine (GEE) integrated with Geographical Information System (GIS). Landsat 5 and Landsat 8 multispectral satellite data of 2001 and 2021 with <5% cloud cover were used to classify LULC classes. The different land use classes mainly water body, vegetation, builtup and mining area in Ramagundam coal field are classified in GEE through supervised classification using Classification And Regression Tree (CART) classifier. The study reveals that the mining operations increased dramatically between 2001 and 2021. On the other hand, agriculture land has also risen as barren land has been turned to productive land as a result of some effective environmental policies. This study will aid policy makers and environmentalists in understanding nature of change in LULC features in the area so as to plan accordingly.
