Distribution and health risk assessment of arsenic and selected heavy metals in Groundwater of Chandigarh, India
Khaiwal Ravindra,Suman Mor +1 more
TL;DR: The study suggests that groundwater should also be regularly monitored for metal contamination as over-extraction, industrialization, disposal of municipal solid waste and informal E-waste recycling activities increases the public health risks in countries worldwide, facing similar environmental pollution problems of the groundwater.

In vitro: Response of plant growth regulators and antimalformins on conidia germination of Fusarium mangiferae and incidence of mango malformation
TL;DR: The present findings do not authenticate the involvement of F. mangiferae in the disease, however hormonal imbalance, most probably ethylene, might be responsible for deformed functional morphology of panicle and a signal transduction mechanism of stress-stimulated ethylene imbalance causing physio-morphological changes in reproductive organs of mango flower and thereby failure of fertilization and fruit set needs to be investigated.
