A nationwide assessment in Pakistan showed that the direct use of untreated wastewater for agriculture, particularly vegetable production, was common most cities. The main reasons this were absence alternative water sources, reliability supply, nutrient value and proximity to urban markets. It estimated 26% total domestic production cultivated with wastewater. importance re.ected high land fees. Policy makers have take local livelihoods food security into account when making decisions regarding use.
Using a method that detects variations in light intensity we have studied the effect of ovarian steroids on human Fallopian tube epithelial ciliary beat frequency vitro. We found baseline averages between 5-6 Hz. Cilia from ampullary segments significantly faster (5.4 Hz+/-0.2) than those fimbrial (4.8 Hz+/-0.2). There was no significant difference at any other anatomical site tube. Incubation with progesterone (10 micromol/l) suppresses by 40-50%. This inhibition observed similar magnitudes...
Summary Objective and methods Vegetables irrigated with untreated domestic wastewater were, at the time of harvest, analysed for presence faecal indicator, Escherichia coli , helminth eggs in Faisalabad, Pakistan. from same harvested batch were collected approximately 12 h later local market. Results The survey found relatively low concentrations E. (1.9 per gram), but high helminths (0.7 gram) on vegetables agricultural fields. Higher concentration both (14.3 (2.1 recovered Conclusions...
Abstract BACKGROUND Effluents discharged from tannery industry contain significant amount of chromium and synthetic dyes. Both dyes can be transformed individually into less toxic forms, but very little is known about their simultaneous treatment. The present study was aimed at isolating bacteria capable removing hexavalent ( CrVI ) reactive black‐5 azo dye simultaneously in liquid mineral salt medium MSM ). RESULTS About 150 bacterial isolates were collected wastewater sludge through...
The rate of photosynthesis (A) plants exposed to water deficit is a function stomatal (gs) and mesophyll (gm) conductance determining the availability CO2 at site carboxylation within chloroplast. Mesophyll often represents greatest impediment photosynthetic uptake CO2, crucial determinant effects drought. Abscisic acid (ABA) plays fundamental role in signalling co-ordination plant responses drought; however, effect ABA on gm not well-defined. Rose, cherry, olive poplar were exogenous their...
Ecosystem functioning is dependent a lot on large mammals, which are, however, vulnerable and facing extinction risks due to human impacts mainly. Megafauna of Asia has been declining for long, not only in numbers but also their distribution ranges. In the current study, we collected information past occurrence records Asia’s megafauna species. We reconstructed historical ranges six herbivores four carnivores comparison with present ranges, quantify spatially explicit levels...
Abstract Habitat fragmentation and loss are considered primary threats to common leopards ( Panthera pardus ) across their geographical range. We investigated anthropogenic environmental factors influencing the habitat suitability of in northern Pakistan using an ensemble model direct indirect leopard signs during 2014–2022. Using location data from 206 sightings model's performance was good (true skill statistic, TSS = 0.52). highest forest cover negatively related density settlements...
Heavy metal’s release without treatment poses a significant threat to the environment. metals are non-biodegradable and persistent. In present study ash of water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes), was used remove six from aqueous solutions through biosorption. Results batch column experiments showed excellent adsorption capacity. Removal lead, chromium, zinc, cadmium, copper, nickel 29.83, 1.263, 1.575, 3.323, 2.984 1.978 µgg-1, respectively. The biosorptive capacity maximum with pH >8.00....
Water availability is a major limiting factor on plant growth and productivity. Considering that Eucalyptus spp. are among the few species able to produce both isoprene monoterpenes, experiments were designed investigate response of emission isoprenoid concentrations in citriodora saplings exposed decreasing fraction transpirable soil water (FTSW). In particular, this study aimed assess: (a) kinetic stress-induced variations photosynthesis, emission, leaf during progressive shortage as...
