The Study focused on household environmental sanitation practices in Katsina Metropolis. Survey research design was adopted for the study. Structured questionnaire was used for data collection from 250 households which were randomly selected from five wards in the study area. Multistage sampling technique was used to select respondents for the study. Four research questions were answered. Data collected for the study were analyzed, using frequency counts and mean to answer the research questions. The findings of the study revealed that households in Katsina metropolis dispose their solid wastes in vacant or unused plots, back of homes, along the road and drains among others. Some strategies such as implementation of national environmental sanitation policy. Provision and use of waste disposal facilities, inculcation of right attitudes in householders/homemakers on waste disposal through the introduction of environmental education in primary and post primary schools curriculum, were identified to improve environmental sanitation practices. Based on the findings, some recommendations were made to improve on the practices.
Potassium permaganate has been used since ages for disinfection of water. It is known for oxidation of cell membrane of micro organisms. But the pink colour prevailing after use makes people reject the water on aesthetic grounds. Water samples from bore wells and tap water from public places were collected from different areas of Visakhapatnam. Physio-chemical and microbial analysis analyses of the water samples were carried out. A dose based permaganate treatment of water depending upon number of colony forming units and species of microorganism present in the water was carried out [1,2,5].
The rapid population growth of Addis Ababa poses the city with many environmental challenges. The current fragmented approach to sanitation and poor waste management has brought serious environmental and health problems. The study deployed purposive and stratified cluster sampling techniques in diagnosing the institutional arrangements for waste management through personal interviews and focus group discussions with stakeholder agencies and households in the slum and residential areas of the city. The threats to groundwater and riverine systems were most proliferated in the central, most densely populated areas of the city, that are poorly served with sanitary facilities. The study concluded that possible improvements may include legitimization of the informal system, community participation and possibly partial privatization. Such an integrated approach seems to be the best option and could well hold the key to the effective and sustainable waste management system in rapidly growing cities such as Addis Ababa.
Efficacy of biopreparation of Enatin to control pathogenic and facultative pathogenic microflora of stock farms has been established in laboratory and industrial conditions. Pilot-plant technology of Enatin production and application was elaborated. As a result of investigations Enatin preparation was registered as an agent for preventive disinfection of pig sty complexes and recommended for application at swine-breeding farms of the Republic of Belarus.

Anopheline mosquitoes and the malaria scourge

72%
The high prevalence of malaria in Africa has defiled many strategies aimed at its eradication. Researchers from various fields have tried without success in this fight against mosquito and its malaria disease. Annually billions of dollars are spent in the design of programs which are aimed at combating this dreaded disease. However all this spending seems to go down the drain as malaria and its vector mosquitoes celebrate their unflinching victory. Current control measures focusing on ways of preventing the disease vis- a -vis, protect man from the vectors “anopheline mosquito” are the mainstay of malaria prevention and control. Many of these control measures are operational with each contributing in its little way. The use of Long Lasting Insecticide Treated Nets (LLITN) and Indoor Residual Sprays (IRS) are well established strategies with global recognition and currently ongoing in Africa. However, as a result of shortcomings in these major control measures, new strategies with hopes of blissful success are been sought after. Larviciding (abortion of metamorphosis) and constant and adequate environmental sanitation seems to be the next option available for use. This article therefore takes a look at the vector- anopheline mosquito, its ecology, productivity and distribution. It also considers malaria and the various control and preventive measures currently targeted at its eradication.
The paper presents results of two year field and laboratory investigations of a denitrifying system below leach lines. More than two days retention time was provided by siphoning of the denitrifying trough located 35 and 60 cm under the leach lines. Due to clogging and capillary suction in medium sand the seepage flow through the denitrifying troughs was limited to less than 10 % of the sewage inflow. Average efficiency of the total nitrogen removal was equal to 55 % after 3-4 days of travel time within the soil. To force wastewater to pass through the anaerobic bed within the trough two lateral vertical impermeable membranes are recommended.
