Newly developed closed ecological cycle for solving environmental problems and obtaining high-quality biofuels
Abstract: Stagnant "green" zones of freshwater lakes, resulting from the excessive reproduction of phytoplankton in sunlit, stagnant waters, present a grave environmental hazard by causing the demise of phytoplankton and fish, and releasing hydrogen sulfide, rendering the water unsuitable for agricultural purposes. In this regard, the development of a closed ecological cycle, including the concentration of phytoplankton from the "green water" of the lake, which allows using most of the phytoplanktonconcentrate …

Use of Pesticides leads to Environmental degradation
Abstract: Pesticides are extensively used for agriculture but residues can reach aquaticecosystems, frequently. They are transferred from pytoplankton to fish and human, ultimately. Pyrethroid insecticides are utilized in place of organochlorine,organophosphorus and carbonate to control different forms of pests and raise yield. Pyrethroid intoxication causes cellular damage and increases freeradicals, which leads to lipid peroxidation and, ultimately, oxidative stress.To reduce damage to environment and biologicalsystems by pesticides should be played attention …
