Assessment of indoor environmental impacts on human health (Case study: Glass city, Firozabad (India)(
2017
Bano, Nikhat
The present study aims to analyze the existing indoor environmental conditions of Firozabad City along with its impact on people’s health by going through the correlative index of indoor environment’s determinant and different diseases, faced by the people. In order to measure spatial disparities, the statistical technique, i.e. the standard score additive model (Z- score), has been applied to develop a composite score for each set of indicators in order to arrive at the general environmental and health condition of the study area as a whole. The analysis reveals that high intensity of indoor pollution and disease are reported in peripheral and old parts of the city. Preventive measures, likely to have deleterious health effects and improve such harmful environmental conditions, should be adopted. Enhanced use of clean fuel and national uniform housing codes or guidelines that address factors, affecting indoor air quality, makes up the current need.

Role of bacteria in the nitrogen cycle in lakes
1972
McCoy, Elizabeth
Biological nitrification as contributing nitrite and nitrate to lakes and streams was explored by determining: nitrifiers, growth sites and activity; denitrifying bacteria numbers and their potential activity as opposing nitrification; field data on nitrite-nitrogen and nitrate-nitrogen in terms of nitrifier and denitrifier populations. Biological nitrification, both heterotrophic and autotrophic, was demonstrated. Even though opposing processes, nitrification and denitrification can coexist in close succession or in adjoining microhabitats. Field values for nitrate-nitrogen and nitrite-nitrogen vary considerably and must be viewed as net values at any given time. Thirteen species of fishes varied greatly in resistance to nitrite-nitrogen. Nitrite toxicity may influence fish species dominance in a eutrophic lake.

Histochemical and cytophotometric assay of acid stress in freshwater fish
1971
Anthony, Adam
The feasibility of using histochemical and histopathological changes in brook trout, longnose dace and fathead minnows as bioindicators of acid pollution was investigated. Laboratory studies entailed using a gravity flow diluter system. Field studies involved using net traps in polluted streams. Exposure durations were 4-5 days and 28-30 days. Histochemical and cytophotometric analyses were made of gills, Stannius corpuscle, blood, spleen, kidney and liver. The primary mode of acid toxicant action is gill damage which results in impaired respiratory, excretory and liver functions. Short term indices of acid stress include: colloidal iron and aminosalicylic acids (PAS) staining of gills and renal Stannius corpuscles. A useful bioindicator of prolonged acid exposure is decreased azure B-RNA staining of liver cells; this assesses the extent of liver impairment and reflects a reduced tolerance of fish to other toxicants.

1971
Basch, R. E.
Effect of chlorinated municipal wastes on fish life and laboratory findings of earlier researchers were assessed in separate studies at four Michigan municipal wastewater treatment plants. Tolerance levels and river length below each plant outfall rendered unavailable to resident fish populations were determined. Ten rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) and ten fathead minnows (Pimephales promelas), previously acclimated, were held 96 hours in live boxes in the stream above and below these outfalls. Fish held below these outfalls were subjected to both chlorinated and non-chlorinated exposures during effluent discharge. Test waters were monitored chemically and bacteriologically during fish exposure. Total residual chlorine concentrations below three plants were toxic to rainbow trout at distances up to 0.8 mile. Fathead minnows appeared adversely affected up to 0.6 mile downstream in two of the four plants. Total residual chlorine concentrations less than 0.1 mg/l were toxic to fathead minnows. Rainbow trout 96-hour total residual chlorine TL-50 concentration below two plants was 0.023 mg/l.
