“…The ratio for 5-day BOD/COD for pre-monsoon is 0.75, and for postmonsoon, it is 0.6. This indicates that majority of the organic compounds is biodegradable (Fatta et al 1999). The high values for TOC during both seasons are mainly due to decomposed and undecomposed product of organic wastes.…”

“…The cyanide concentration in leachate is low for both the seasons because of the absence of industrial wastes in the constituents of MSW. The higher values of phosphate (Table 1) also suggest a mature stage of the dumping site (Fatta et al 1999). …”

“…Dispersal of leachates poses potential threats to local ecosystems especially to soils and groundwaters (Jorstad et al 2004). The composition of leachate depends upon the nature of solid waste buried, chemical and biochemical processes responsible for the decomposition of waste materials, and water content in total waste (Fatta et al 1999;Mor et al 2006).…”

Leachate produced by municipal solid waste dumping site near the metropolitan city of Pune, India was examined for its pollution potential and impact on surrounding shallow basaltic aquifers. Twenty-eight physico-chemical parameters during post-and pre-monsoon seasons (Nov 2006 and May 2007) were determined to assess the seasonal variation in the leachate pollution index (LPI) as well as in the groundwater quality. The leachate demonstrated higher LPI value during pre-monsoon, comparable to those at other metropolises outside India. Potentially toxic leachates derived from the dumping site have largely influenced the adjoining basaltic aquifers through two different modes of transport. Despite high contents of heavy metals (Al, Cd, Cr, Cu,

“…Landfills have been identified as one of the major threats to groundwater resources (Fatta et al, 1999) Waste placed in landfills or open dumps are subjected to either groundwater underflow or infiltration from precipitation. Areas near landfills have a greater possibility of groundwater contamination because of the potential pollution source of leachate originating from the nearby site.…”

Of all the natural resources, water is unarguably the most essential and precious. Life began in water and life is nurtured by water. Ninety seven percent of the world's water is found in oceans. Only 2.5% of the world's water are non-saline fresh water. Saudi Arabia is a desert country with no permanent rivers or lakes and very little rainfall. Water is scarce and extremely valuable and with the country's rapid growth, the demand for water is increasing. Seven samples of water are collected, six samples from Wells (1-6) and the last sample from Al-Mallah Valley Dam, Mukhwa (7), Al-Mukhwah, in order to find impurities and pollutants and found some suitable solution. Some physical properties of water are measured such as turbidity, conductivity, pH and also, some pollutants such as iron, manganese, nitrate, nitrite fluoride, phosphate as well as calcium, magnesium, sulfate and chloride as well as detection of some microorganisms. The results shown that, the water of Al-Mallah Valley Dam has a high percentage of turbidity as a result of contamination of water with clay, plant residues and also some dead animals. On the other hand, the samples of ground water have high conductivity and high value of fluoride, nitrite, nitrate contents as well as Mn and Fe. Also the result of microorganisms showed the presence of some the water of Al-Mallah Valley Dam can be treated with a very simple method and become suitable for drinking. Also ground water can be treated with a suitable method to reduce the total hardness and some pollutants. But its content of fluoride is higher than that of gulf specifications so it must be treated before used.

Comparative Studies on Rubber Biodegradation by Mixed Culture and Pure Culture Isolated From the Soil Samples

Abstract-An increasing production of natural rubber (NR) compounds has led to major challenges in waste management. The degradation of NR is normally extremely slow. In this study, the degradation of rubber latex gloves in a mineral salt medium (MSM) using a mixed culture of the selected bacteria and a pure culture was investigated by monitoring weight loss, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and viable cell counts. About 18% weight loss of the rubber gloves were detected after incubated with the mixed culture and the pure culture. The increased viable cell counts over incubation time indicated that cells used rubber gloves as a carbon source leading to the degradation of the polymer. The degradation of NR gloves was also determined by observing the growth of NR-degrading bacteria on the glove surface using SEM.
