Present Status of Hydrographical Variables of the Amirthi River in Amirthi Forest, Vellore
Abstract: ABSTRACTThe present study was carried out to determine the water quality in terms of physicochemical characteristics variables in the running water ecosystem for a period of three months from January to March 2007. The post-monsoon variation of hydrography variables and dissolved nutrients such as PO4-P, NO3-N, NO2-N, K, Mg and Ca were high at all the stations. In the running water, the Chloride (24 mgl−1 to 1733 mgl−1), Fluoride (0.2 …

Variation in Persistent Organochlorine Pesticide Residues among Various Tissues of House Sparrow, Passer domesticus, from Tamil Nadu, India, during 2001–2006
Abstract: ABSTRACTThe present study focuses on persistent organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) on various tissues of house sparrow, Passer domesticus, from Tamil Nadu, India, between 2001 and 2006. The major compounds quantified in eggs, liver, brain and muscle tissues are hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH), 1,1-dichloro-2,2-bis(p-chlorophenyl)ethylene (p,p’-DDE), dichloro-diphenyl-trichloroethane (ΣDDT), dieldrin, and heptachlor epoxide. The mean concentrations of ΣPCBs, ΣHCH and ΣDDT in eggs are 0.94 ± 0.66 μg/g and 0.35 ± 0.26 μg/g respectively on wet …
