Spatial and Temporal Variation of Bioaerosols with Meteorology at Different Land Sites
Abstract: Air particulates associated with biological origins are termed as bioaerosols. These bioaerosols consist of different species of bacteria, fungi, pollen and spores, etc. and can be allergenic and infectious in nature. The study is an attempt to understand the seasonal variation in bioaerosols concentration at three different land use sites: site I (commercial site), site II (dumping site), Site III (vegetated site). Statistical correlation was applied to infer the relation …

Treatment of Dairy Wastewater Using Constructed Wetland
Abstract: Naturally existing wetlands have been used for dumping various types of wastewaters and have been promised to dispose of these wastewaters. As a matter of fact, in some areas, natural wetlands still serve this purpose solely and are nothing more than dumping sites. However, extensive research suggested the use of Wetlands for Treatment purposes. Understanding the dynamics of the processes in natural wetlands leads to the use of those processes …
