A Review on Adverse Effects of Herbicides and Pesticides on Environment
Abstract: Pesticides can contaminate soil, water, turf, and other vegetation. Insecticides are generally the most acutely toxic class of pesticides, but herbicides can also pose risks to non-target organisms. The environment includes all of the living and non-living things that surround us, including the air, water, plants, soil and wildlife. Pesticides can be helpful in dealing with pests in our environment such as controlling invasive plant species that threaten native habitats. …

Solution to the Arsenic Problem in West Bengal: Exploring Some Non-Conventional Ways
Abstract: Some districts of West Bengal have severe arsenic contamination of soil and groundwater. The clinical manifestations of arsenic toxicity include severe skin lesions; diseases of respiratory, cardiovascular, excretory system, hepatological, haematological and neurological disorders; and even death. We have isolated arsenic-resistant bacteria which have the adaptability to survive in high arsenic concentration, accumulate arsenic and convert it to its less toxic form. Therefore, we propose bioremediation as a cost-effective and …

In-Vitro and In-Vivo Anti-Adipogenecity Activity of Two Plants using Rat Models
Abstract: This study examines how extracts of plant affect the dyslipidaemic state of fatty acid induced rats. Eight days following induction for differentiation with C-DMEM and simultaneously tested with the extracts of plant (day 8), our study found significantly reduced (p < 0.05) intracellular lipid accumulations in white muscle cells in the rats. This compared positively against the smaller reduction in accumulation found in the standard drug streptozotosin (STZ). This suppressing …
