Heavy metal contamination of river Yamuna, Haryana, India: assessment by metal enrichment factor of the sediments.

Defluoridation of groundwater using brick powder as an adsorbent.

The effect of fireworks on air quality was assessed from the ambient concentrations of various air pollutants (SO2, NO2, PM10 and TSP) during Diwali festival in Hisar city (India), in November 1999. The extensive use of fireworks was found to be related to short-term variation in air quality. During the festival the concentration of SO2 was observed to be increased ∼10-fold at few sites, whereas the concentrations of NO2, PM10 and TSP increased 2–3 times, compared to the data collected on a typical winter day in December 1999. The maximum NO2 concentration was observed a day after the festival. The diurnal pattern of the above pollutants showed a slight increase in the night. The levels of these pollutants observed during Diwali were found to be moderately high, which can be associated with serious health impacts.
