Abstract
When a proposed construction action is considered to threaten the physical, chemical,
ecological, social and economic environment, then a thorough assessment is required to be
carried out and measures are identified to prevent and offset the adverse environmental
impacts by conducting comprehensive Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA). It is an
important regulatory, legal and monitoring tool for all involved in decision making including
planners, engineers, scientists, administrators, academicians and all stake holders in the
sustainable development of hydroelectric projects pre, post and at the end of life of the
installed project. It also gives avenues to the project affected citizens to voice their concern
freely in the open forum, through the government mechanism, thus establishing the
democratic sanctity of the constitution. Pare hydroelectric project is being constructed
across the river Dikrong in the Papumpare district of Arunachal Pradesh, India to generate
hydroelectricity. The project is currently under construction and has been evaluated for
physical, chemical, ecological and socio economical elements in this case study. Sample
pertaining to water, air and soil within a radius of 5 km is tested and results are analyzed. An
Environmental Management Plan (EMP) is formulated, outlining preventive and curative
strategies for minimizing adverse impacts during construction and operational phases of the
project.
Keywords: ecology, hydroelectric, hydel, EIA, water, air, soil
INTRODUCTION
Hydropower is a renewable, clean and
green energy resource having high
conversion efficiency, operational
flexibility, long term dependability and
economic superiority over the other power
generation methods. There are several
hydel power plants across the world which
is operational even after completing
hundred years of project commissioning.
In addition to electricity generation, other
environmental benefits include reliable
water supply, improved water quality,
flood control, fishery, reclamation of
degraded land and irrigation. A reliable
and bounty water supply will itself pave
way for palatable water supply and a
sanitation system for the nearby human
settlement, which is one of the most
hygienic approaches to keep water borne
disease at bay.
However, when a proposed action is
considered to threaten the physical,
chemical, biological, ecological, social or
economic environment, then a thorough

Abstract
Protection and improvement of deteriorating natural environment is a common cause and
obligation of all the citizens and it is the right time for introspection by every citizen and
nation as to what our future generations are going to inherit from us. It is they who will reap
the grim consequences of our failure to act timely on the programmes which are needed now
if we are to prevent future disaster and natural resource depletion. The constitution gives
right to life for every citizen, an onerous obligation which we owe to posterity is clean air,
potable water and liveable natural environment and these ought to be elevated to the status
of birth rights of every citizen born today and in future. The Constitution of India was
amended in 1976, to incorporate the provisions for protection of environment and imposing a
fundamental duty upon the citizens of this country to protect and improve the natural
environment. Article 51A mentions “It shall be the duty of every citizen of India - (g) to
protect and improve the natural environment including forests, lakes, rivers and wildlife and
to have compassion for living creatures. The objective of the author in the article is to create
awareness among all concerned in the society about the various laws on environment and
pollution control that are existing in our country to ensure that justice prevails on all matters
related to environment protection, which is the basis of sustenance of life on earth.
Keywords: nature, air, water, noise, pollutant.
INTRODUCTION
Environment include air, water, land and
their inter-relationship with sun rays and
moon’s coolness which exists between
them to sustain life on earth i.e. human
being, animal life, plants and micro-
organism on land and in water. We human
beings are both, creature and moulder of
environment which gives us physical
sustenance and affords us the opportunity
for intellectual, moral, social and spiritual
growth in the long and tortuous evolution
of the human race on this planet. In our
quest for development and supremacy, we
have always ruthlessly exploited the
natural resources available on land, in
water and in air and have in return
polluted them through the waste coming
out from the products of development and
warfare. A stage has reached when
through the rapid acceleration of science
and technology; we have acquired the
power to transform our environment, in
countless ways and on an unprecedented
scale. Both aspects of human environment,
the natural and man-made, are essential to
the wellbeing and to the enjoyment of
basic human rights even the right to life
itself (United Nations Conference, 1972).

its need and requirement by discovery,

Abstract
There is a great need for wastewater treatment for all sources of water pollution and an
obvious potential for natural treatment systems. In this paper, we looked into the problem of
growing quantity of wastewater irrespective of the limited drinking water supply. The water
once utilized for domestic or industrial applications is then obtained as the released water
from the waste, which cannot be reused until not being recycled or reprocessed thoroughly
using reliable wastewater treatment techniques. In the paper, a review on various wastewater
treatment techniques used and their development are presented.
Keywords: wastewater, pollution, treatment, filtration, industrial applications, natural,
oxidation, UV radiation
INTRODUCTION
Numerous efforts are made to treat
wastewater in order to solve the major
problem of water deficiency mainly for
industrial applications. Researchers stick
to the conventional rule of using the
natural treatment systems that evidently
considered being quite efficient
technologies. There are many fine
examples of the use of natural treatment
systems for purification of many types of
wastewater, sludge handling and use of
purified water for irrigation. Indeed, the
natural treatment systems for wastewater
treatment have to compete with technical
solutions, namely with so called
conventional treatment systems such as
activated sludge process.
Natural technologies are the most than
for large producer frequently used for
wastewater treatment and water
management ranging from individual
houses, recreational and the other
facilities to the settlements up to 2,000
inhabitants (p. e.), smaller industrial
plants, and farms. Their use is also the
question of the availability of affordable
land.
PRETREATMENT
TECHNOLOGIES
Besides pollution indicators routinely
monitored, raw sewage contains, a
number of other substances, such as
pieces of rags, fibers, hair, thread, feces,
grease, household trash, remnants of fruit
and vegetables, plastic, various
containers, pieces of wood.
A stream of water at the bottom of the
drainage may be, particularly in the rainy
season, also entrained with heavier
materials such as gravel, pieces of brick,
etc. For this reason, the mechanical
pretreatment stage is an important part of
any treatment plant. It protects the
mechanical parts and/or the filter
material of distribution layers from
damages and clogging. It prevents

Research Insight: Impact of Indoor Polluted Air on Health
Nibha Singh* C.C.S. University, Meerut, India
BACKGROUND
The health effects of air pollution have
been subject to intense study in recent
years. Exposure to pollutants such as
airborne participate matter and ozone has
been associated with increases in
mortality and hospital admissions due to
respiratory and cardiovascular disease.
These effects have been found in short-
term studies, which relate day-to-day
variations in air pollution and health, and
long-term studies, which have followed
cohorts of exposed individuals over time.
Although official efforts to control air
pollution have traditionally focused on
outdoor air, it is now apparent that
elevated contaminant concentrations are
common inside some private and public
buildings. Concerns about potential
public health problems due to indoor air
pollution are based on evidence that
urban residents typically spend more than
90 percent of their time indoors,
concentrations of some contaminants are
higher indoors than outdoors, and for
some pollutants personal exposures are
not characterized adequately by outdoor
measurements. Among the more
important indoor contaminants associated
with health or irritation effects are
passive tobacco smoke, radon decay
products, carbon monoxide, nitrogen
dioxide, formaldehyde, asbestos fibers,
microorganisms and aeroallergens.
Efforts to assess health risks associated
with indoor air pollution are limited by
insufficient information about the
number of people exposed, the pattern
and severity of exposures, and the health
consequences of exposures.
Effects have been seen at very low levels
of exposure, and it is unclear whether a
threshold concentration exists for
particulate matter and ozone below which
no effects on health are likely. In this
review, we discuss the evidence for
adverse effects on health of selected air
pollutants.
INTRODUCTION
It is of great concern that, almost half the
world's population still relies for its
everyday household energy needs on
inefficient and highly polluting solid
fuels, mostly biomass (wood, animal
dung, and crop wastes) and coal. About 3
billion people still rely on solid fuels, 2.4
billion on biomass, and the rest on coal,
mostly in China. Access to modern
energy sources has been described as a
"necessary, although not sufficient,
requirement for economic and social
development" (IEA 2002). It is,
therefore, of great concern that almost
half the world's population still relies for
its everyday household energy needs on
inefficient and highly polluting solid
fuels, mostly biomass (wood, animal
dung, and crop wastes) and coal.
Indoor air pollution is a major global
public health threat requiring greatly
increased efforts in the areas of research
and policy-making. Research on its
health effects should be strengthened,
particularly in relation to tuberculosis and
acute lower respiratory infections. A
more systematic approach to the
development and evaluation of
interventions is desirable, with clearer
recognition of the interrelationships

Highlights on Effects of Noise Pollution
Priyanka Garg University of Madras, Tamil Nadu, India
BACKGROUND
Noise pollution is considered as more
important environmental problem,
especially in the industrialized and
developed countries. Industrial noise is
an important source of noise pollution,
which annoys and disrupts the daily
activities of workers. A growing body of
research reveals, transport noise can
cause sleep disturbance, cardiovascular
disease, elevated hormone levels,
psychological problems and even
premature death; studies on children have
identified cognitive impairment,
worsened behavior and diminished
quality of life.
More widely, the negative effects of
transport noise have been known for
years, but in light of pressing air
pollution problems, noise has often taken
a back seat. The situation now appears to
be changing.
Environmental noise consists of all the
unwanted sounds in our communities
except that which originates in the
workplace. Environmental noise
pollution, a form of air pollution, is a
threat to health and well-being. It is
more severe and widespread than ever
before, and it will continue to increase in
magnitude and severity because of
population growth, urbanization, and the
associated growth in the use of
increasingly powerful, varied, and highly
mobile sources of noise. It will also
continue to grow because of sustained
growth in highway, rail, and air traffic,
which remain major sources of
environmental noise. A lack of sleep,
caused by the traffic noise, can also
affect the immune system and
metabolism. In many cases, people in the
city may not realize their sleep patterns
are being thrown off by noise pollution.
The sound is a mechanical wave that
results from variations, or oscillations, in
elastic medium like water, air and solids
and “Noise” generally can be defined as
unpleasant and disturbing sounds which
disturb the human being physically and
physiologically and cause environmental
pollution by destroying environmental
properties and it is one of the physical
environmental factors affecting our
health in today’s world and harmful to
people. Noise can be measured by
determining the pressure created by the
sound waves in the human ear and is
measured in (dB), which is used as an
international measure of the intensity of
sound.
Due to the rapid growth and development
in technology which is occurred in the
developing countries, noise pollution has
become one of the major threats that face
the environment and the cost of reducing
it in future years is expected to be
insurmountable and it is considered to be
the commonest reason of annoyance and
permanent hearing loss.
Acoustic quieting is the process of
making machinery quieter by damping
vibrations to prevent them from reaching
the observer.
Noise decreases as distance from its
source increases. When two identical
