The results revealed that surface water possessed more potential non-carcinogenic harmful health risks to the residents of the study area to compare to groundwater. As regards carcinogenic health risks, on average there is a possibility of 5 persons in every 106 developing cancer due to lifetime exposure to Cd through ingestion of groundwater.

Aluminum is used in a wide range of applications and is a potential environmental hazard. The known genotoxic effects of aluminum might play a role in the development of breast cancer. However, the data currently available on the subject are not sufficient to establish a causal relationship between aluminum exposure and the augmented risk of developing breast cancer.

Lentil (Lens culinaris Medik) is an important crop, the major states producing lentil are Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and Punjab. Lentil is an important component of farming systems in our country. It is one of the important and most nutritious rabi pulses. Vascular wilt causing by Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. lentis, Sclerotium rolfsii Sacc. causing collar rot and Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (Lib.) de Bary) causing stem rot, is most destructive soil borne diseases of lentil growing area worldwide. Use of chemicals continues to be major strategy to mitigate the menace of crop disease.

Last few decades have been momentous in the history of human and animal health because a series of new infectious zoonotic viruses were reported and researched across the globe. More than 70% of the emerging zoonoses reported in the last decade had viral etiology and originated in wild life. Changing face of zoonotic viruses poses threat to public health and economy. The risk factors precipitating the occurrence of emerging viruses are many; and they are in a state of continuous evolution.

Maharashtra ranks first in production of onion. Purple blotch [Alternaria porri (Ellis) Cif] is one of the severe onion diseases in Maharashtra causing higher yield losses. Chemical fungicides are effectively used to manage it, are responsible for environmental hazard and fungicidal resistance in the pathogens and sustainability of onion production. Oligochitosan is a deacetylated derivative of chitin obtained by gamma irradiation of chitosan. Present study was conducted to assess the effect of oligochitosan on management of purple blotch of onion.

Escherichia coli is responsible for a wide variety of intestinal infections, showing increasing antimicrobial resistance. Antimicrobials resistance in biofilm-forming isolates contributes to bacterial persistence which may lead major public health concern and treatment problems. The aim of this study was to study the antimicrobial resistance profile of E. coli with reference to biofilm production to study the possible relationship among E. coli isolates from cattle and their farm environment. Out of 64 samples 34 (53.12%) samples were confirmed as E. coli, whereas 16 (47.

A first critical step in developing a comprehensive safety and health program is to identify physical and health hazards in the workplace. This process is known as a "hazard assessment." Potential hazards may be physical or health-related and a compre- hensive hazard assessment should identify hazards in both categories. Examples of physical hazards include moving objects, fluctuating temperatures, high intensity lighting, rolling or pinching objects, electrical connections and sharp edges. Examples of health hazards include overexposure to harmful dusts, chemicals or radiation....

At present, the main field of biosensor applications is still the determination of blood glu‐ cose, as over 90% of all commercial biosensors are developed for diabetes control. However, regardless of the remarkable success in the development of glucose biosensors, there are nu‐ merous other emerging fields to be addressed, particularly the monitoring of environment, healthcare and medical diagnostics.

Inspection, on the other hand, is defined as that monitoring function con- ducted in an organization to locate and report existing and potential hazards that could cause accidents in the workplace. Legally, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) or the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) conducts inspections.What we are discussing are discussing are surveys, not inspections. Safety surveys frequently reveal potential causes of accidents and, thus, provide an opportunity to take corrective action before an injury occurs.

The risks associated with all aspects of fracturing have been looked at from a variety of perspectives, but most concerns revolve around the use of water resources and their potential contamination [6]. Other risks are associated with surface spills [7,8]. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has been investigating drinking water contamination and is expected to complete an extensive study on all aspects of hydraulic fracturing in 2014 [9].

Congress has enacted laws requiring individuals and facilities to take measures to protect environmental quality and public health by limiting potentially harmful emissions and discharges, and remediating damage. Enforcement of federal pollution control laws in the United States occurs within a highly diverse, complex, and dynamic statutory framework and organizational setting. Multiple statutes address a number of environmental pollution issues, such as those associated with air emissions, water discharges, hazardous wastes, and toxic substances in commerce.

The past century has seen a tremendous expansion in the number of synthetic chemicals employed by humankind as materials, drugs, preservatives for foods and other products, pesticides, cleaning agents, and even weapons of war. An estimated 64,000 chemicals are currently in use commercially, with 5 billion tons being produced annually in the world. Some 4000 chemicals are used as medicinals and at least 1200 more as household products. An estimated 700 new chemicals are synthesized each year.

Because of the potential public health implications, the importance of toxic air pollutants in ambient air has been recognized to some degree for many years. Efforts to “regulate” human activities resulting in the production of ambient air pollutants probably date back many centuries, even as the combustion of fossil fuels and air pollution from other organized human activities began having a noticeable impact on the environment.
