In this book various simple instruments like chemical balance, pH meter, conductivity and turbidity meter to highly sophisticated instruments like GC, AAS, TOC, XRF etc. were described in detailed with adequate illustrations. Emphasis has also been given on the simple chemical measurement to preparation of sample for sophisticated analysis of heavy metals, pesticides etc. Various other gravimetric, volumetric, spectroscopic, light scattering, radio analytical and ...
The term environment includes everything, which we can see around ourselves and can feel and observe too. With increasing concern over environmental pollution due to rapid increasing population, industrial- and urbanization, it is very important for experts as well as beginners to have rapid, convenient, comprehensive and easily understandable source of information.

Human waste, which is mostly of organic in nature, is degraded by ...
Microorganisms are ubiquitous in nature, these small living variables occur almost everywhere including extreme environmental conditions and exhibits their metabolic activities in aerobic and anaerobic environment as well. Though the microorganisms are very divert in their morphological, biochemical, genetical and physiological characteristics, there are certain inherent and unique properties, which make them of peculiar interest. Considering these properties, ...
The aims and objectives of the present series is to disseminate the best available information about the genetical, biochemical, immunological and agriculture related properties of the microorganisms and their possible exploitation in the production of food, vaccines, fermented product, antibiotics, disease resistance crops and other similar areas in the most efficient and economic manner.
The nature has devised methods to provide clean air, water and other natural resources to the human beings. However, the greed of man and his endeavors of unsustainable growth and development have caused an irreparable deterioration in the quality of air, water, soil and other natural resources. Today the cry of pollution is heard from, all the nooks and corner of the globe and pollution has become a major threat to the the very existence of mankind on this ...
It has been known from the Vedic times that nature and mankind form an inseparable part of the life support system. This system has five elements, air, water, land, flora and fauna, which are interrelated and interdependent. Deterioration in one inevitably affects the other four elements. If the deterioration is for a short term, it repairs itself and reverts to the original state, but if the deterioration continues, the whole system, including all life form, is ...
The establishment of numerous industries, the release of freons to the atmosphere, the excessive use of automobiles, the large felling of trees, the indiscriminate use of natural resources, the fight for dominance in space, etc. are the few questionable activities of the human beings for disturbing the natural balance thus causing an environmental degradation of a magnitude serious enough to threat the very existence of mankind. Environmental pollution is a ...
