Abstract Background Arsenic toxicity in humans is well recognized. It has been classified as a class I human carcinogen by the International Agency of Research on Cancer. enters body mainly through drinking water, dermal contact, food chain, and inhalation. The Gangetic belt India considered one most arsenic-affected sites India. Health risk assessment population exposed to arsenic water important. present study was conducted assess groundwater quality associated health risks people...
Fluoride (F) is mainly ingested through drinking water and food. In addition to producing dental skeletal fluorosis, excess fluoride may affect the functioning of many organs including thyroid gland. The present study investigated function subjects with fluorosis from F-endemic areas Gaya region, Bihar, India compared it control individuals Bodh Gaya. mean F concentration in groundwater area was 2.82 ± 0.18 mg/L (range 0.62–7.2 mg/L), while that 0.49 0.04 0.21–0.76 mg/L). Abnormal levels T3,...
Background: Microplastics are emerging contaminants in aquatic and terrestrial environments. Here, we used the fruit fly (Drosophila melanogaster) as model organism to study adverse effects of polystyrene microplastics (PS-MPs). Methods: The computational styrene-protein interactome revealed enrichment oxidative stress related pathways. Therefore, tested in-silico data by analysing toxicity PS-MPs via dietary exposures 5g/l 10 g/l doses on Drosophila melanogaster. Results: At both these...
The Baikal teal (Anas Formosa) is a migratory duck that breeds in eastern Siberia and China winters South Southeast Asia. species has been recorded India, but its distributional records are scarce. In this paper, we report new record of Rajdhani Jalashay, Patna, Bihar, India. presence only single male for some days indicated it might have deviated from usual migration path.
Irrigation water quality is critical for crop production. The present study focuses on assessment of suitability groundwater irrigation purposes in four blocks Samastipur district, Bihar lying the mid Gangetic plains. In this district most people are dependent upon agriculture.
There are records of hammerhead flatworms from many parts India, but no information Bihar. The hammer-headed worm was first recorded in the campus Patna Science College August 2022. Hammer-headed worms (Bipalium spp.) known for their unique appearance and behavior, which make them fascinating to researchers nature enthusiasts alike. These have a distinct hammer-shaped head, contains two eyes sensory organs that help detect prey. authors noted spread exotic land planarians region is likely...
Abstract Background Many pesticides contain fluoride that enters the food chain and affect non-target organisms. Fluoride is a known neurotoxin may cause neurobehavioral defects. A study was conducted to see effect of on learning memory ability larvae Zaprionus indianus . The 2nd instar normal (control) sodium (NaF)-treated compared Results Sublethal concentration NaF for Z found be 0.8 ppm. Olfactory assay results showed had better in comparison NaF-treated larvae. Conclusions This...
Abstract We compared the bird diversity of a managed (Rajdhani Jalashay) and an unmanaged wetland (Mustafapur) in Patna, Bihar, India. recorded species by using point counts fixed-route monitoring. At Rajdhani Jalashay, total 73 were recorded, which 15 winter visitors. Two Near-threatened category: Ferruginous Duck (Aythya nyroca) Alexandrine Parakeet (Psittacula eupatria) , while others least concern. Mustafapur wetland, 67 with 11 as Simpson’s index was 0.78 at 0.81 wetland. The number...
Abstract Background Fluoride may induce oxidative stress and apoptosis. It also lead to neurobehavioural defects including neuromuscular damage. The present study aimed explore the effects of sub lethal concentrations sodium fluoride (NaF) on lifespan climbing ability Drosophila melanogaster. In total, 0.6 mg/L 0.8 NaF were selected as sublethal for study. Lifespan was measured activity assay performed. Results showed significant decrease in flies treated with fluoride. With increasing age,...
