Phytoremediation: Its Background and Global ScenarioBy Chhavi Jain
Abstract: Phytoremediation is an evolving in situ remediation technology that utilizes plants to clean polluted soil, groundwater and wastewater. Phytoremediation is defined as that branch of science that utilizes inherent abilities of green plants to remove, contain, or render harmless environmental contaminants such as heavy metals, metalloids, organic compounds, trace elements, and radioactive substances present in soil or water. The plants used in this technology include trees, shrubs, grasses and even …

Solar Energy: Current Indian ScenarioBy Chhavi Jain
Abstract: India with a rapidly growing economy stands 5th in the world in terms of production and consumption of electricity. The country has tremendous scope of generating solar energy largely because of its geographical location which enables to receive solar radiation almost throughout the year. Almost every part of India receives 4–7 kWh of solar radiation/m2 which is equivalent to 2300–3200 of sunshine h/yr. Several states including Punjab, Haryana, Gujarat, Madhya …

Rhizobacteria for Sustainable Agriculture: An OverviewBy Chhavi Jain
Abstract: Several soil bacteria participate in the growth and development of plants, and are usually termed as plant growth promoting rhizobacteria. These bacteria colonize on or near plant roots and play vital role either directly or indirectly in health and productivity of different plant species. The plant growth promoting rhizobacteria facilitate plant growth by assisting in acquisition of essential nutrients and minerals, modulating plant hormone levels and by acting as biocontrol …

Chromatography for Chemical Separation: Types and UsesBy Chhavi Jain
Abstract: Chromatography is an analytical tool that is used for separating a variety of chemical mixtures. This technique was developed somewhere during the 1940s to 1950s. Initially, the technique had low efficiency with prolonged time of analysis and reduced detection range. Later, the technique was modified and improved to meet the demands of chemical separation technology. Chromatography is broadly categorized into analytical or preparative. Analytical chromatography is used for small sample …

Fluoride Distribution and Related Health ProblemsBy Chhavi Jain
Abstract: Fluoride is one of the very few chemicals that cause significant effects in people depending upon their concentration. Although present naturally in soil, water and air, fluoride consumption occurs largely through water. Fluoride intake at low concentration is known to cause beneficial effects on teeth, however at high concentrations; it may give rise to a number of adverse effects. These range from mild dental fluorosis to crippling skeletal fluorosis as …
