The cadmium stress caused considerable inhibition of growth and synthesis of biomolecules with proportional to the concentration of metal. The cadmium toxicity decreased in biomolecules compounds like chlorophyll, protein, carbohydrate, amino acid and catalase and Peroxidase enzyme activity at lower concentration i.e., at 1ppm as well as higher concentrations like 2, 3, 4, and 5ppm. But at higher concentration of cadmium ie., 5ppm was found to be more toxic in the present study. There was a loss of total chlorophyll pigment shown in H. verticillata plant in cadmium stress. The protein content was decreased significantly (P &#8804; 0.05) up to 2ppm, then slightly increased in 3ppm was observed. Also, amino acid content was decreased in all concentration of cadmium stress when compared to control. Sugar content also decreased in all concentration of cadmium solution but less toxic effect found in 1ppm as the sugar content was nearby to the control. Same way the activity of catalase enzyme showed significantly (P &#8804; 0.05) decreased at the lowest concentration. With the increase of cadmium concentration, the decrease of catalase activity was found. Peroxidase enzyme also increased significantly (P &#8804; 0.001) at 1ppm, however, the highest percentage of increase in peroxidase enzyme activity was found at 5ppm. The study suggests that the plant H. verticillata as of a phytoremediation of cadmium and used as a bioindicator to access the metal toxicity in the aquatic system.<#LINE#>Lepp N.W.

Zooplankton organisms were collected monthly during an annual cycle (August 2013 to September 2014) in five sampling sites. This lagoonal ecosystem zooplankton community was composed of 54 taxa including Copepoda (42.59%), Cladoceran (14.81%) Rotifera (9.26%), and other zooplankton organisms (33.34%). Fresco lagoon zooplankton community diversity was mainly dominated by zooplankton marine taxa (54.72%), followed by freshwater and brackish taxa with 22.64% each. In Fresco lagoon, zooplankton abundance varied from 207 ind/l(mean) during the rainy season to 296 ind/l (mean) throughout the dry season. During the rainy season, zooplankton abundance varied from 45 to 387 ind/l according to stations while it varied from 29 to 579 ind/l throughout the dry season. All these variation were statistically significant (p < 0.01). Fresco zooplankton community was mainly dominated by Copepoda taxa (main 98 % of total abundance), with Oithona brevicornis (56.11%) and Acartia clausi (33.26%) as main species. This study revealed also that, in Fresco lagoon, zooplankton taxa in stations far from of the channel were mainly influenced by pH, Salinity and conductivity while in stations near of the channel zooplankton composition and abundance variation were mainly under dissolved oxygen, phosphates and ammonium concentrations influence.<#LINE#>Egnankou W.M., Sankare Y. and Conarams-CI (2004).

The sampling campaign was conducted in August 2017. The samples were taken a few centimeters below the surface of the water. Metal analysis was performed with using a HACH LANGE DR2800 spectrophotometer. Copper is determined by the Bicinchroninate method and zinc by the Zincover method. The physicochemical analysis revealed that this water is not mineralized, contains no salt at all, is highly oxygenated, is very turbid and is not rich in nutrients such as nitrate, nitrite, ammonium and phosphates. Regarding the concentration of metallic trace elements, namely copper and zinc, it does not constitute a risk for humans but represents a high risk for aquatic organisms present in the Mono River. As for the study of the trophic evaluation it reveals that the river is oligotrophic that is to say is poor in nutrients and therefore does not run the immediate risk of the phenomenon of eutrophication.<#LINE#>Gleick P.

Since there is a little information available about  responses of quarries, we selected the subject to study the influence of quarry dust on selected trees growing around quarries at Bethamcherla, Kurnool district and to measure their Air pollution tolerance indices to suggest the plants that are suitable to raise in such areas to develop a green belt. Dust pollution causes water stress also in habitats. Because growing of species that are having high APTIs are able to increase their number and can also able to increase water table by reducing the temperatures of the area. The study suggests to grow Azadirachta indica, Tamarindus indica, and Terminalia catappa around quarry dust polluted areas. In A.indica and T.indica, the Relative Water Content is very high. Whereas in T.catappa there is no change in RWC in polluted site sample. According to several observations, RWC in plants serves as an important indicator of drought confrontation in plants.<#LINE#>Aron D.

In this study, the potential of Brachystegia eurycoma seed hulls to remove cadmium ions from aqueous solution was investigated. The effects of concentration of adsorbate (10-100mg/l), time of contact (20-100minutes), pH (2-10) and adsorbent dose (1-5g) on the adsorption of cadmium ions was studied. Within the range of variables studied, 98% cadmium ions were removed from aqueous solution at pH of 6, contact time of 40minutes, adsorbent dose of 1g and concentration of adsorbate of 30mg/l. The result indicated that Brachystegia eurycoma seed hulls were suitable for adsorption of cadmium from aqueous solution.<#LINE#>Putra W.P., Kamari A., Yusoff S.N.M., Ishak C.F. and Mohamed A., Hashim N. and Isa I.M.
