PHYSICOCHEMICAL BEHAVIOUR OF CARBON PARTICLES IN BLOOD

Y. K. Lahir*, V. Mohite

ABSTRACT

Our ecosystem is contaminated with pollutants. Aereal, aquatic and soil, all are loaded with pollutants either intentionally or by natural calamities. But anthropogenic pollutants qualitatively and quantitatively are more problematic and derogative structurally and functionally. Pollutants are dominated with carbon particles and other particulate matter which are released in ecosystem randomly and in unplanned manner. The carbon particles are the product of incomplete combustion while particulate matter is the result of unorganized anthropogenic activities over the globe. Rich countries and industrial set-ups discard such wastes either pass on to the poor countries or undeveloped countries as scrap. The scrape utilization and its mode of disposal are one of the main sources of the carbon and particulate matter in aquatic, aerial media and solid (solid media-soil). These media are the sites (natural laboratories) for synthesis, inter-conversion of living matter into nonliving matter and vice-versa where ecological and other cycles occur in nature. There pollutants interfere with these interconversions and hinder the balancing act on nature. It is utmost essential to maintain these media that provide clean and healthy environment for all living being. An effort is made to evaluate the physicochemical features; behavior and their prime impacts are discussed. released.
