Gasifier generates wastewater during cooling and cleaning of producer gas. This wastewater contains harmful chemicals which adversely affect the natural stream if disposed off without treatment. In the present work the effect of gasifier effluent on agricultural soil and vegetable production was studied. Experiments were conducted on seasonal vegetables like radish, spinach and tomato plant. Each plant was irrigated with gasifier wastewater and treated wastewater to study the effects of these waters and compared with control plants which were irrigated by tap water. After irrigation with gasifier wastewater and treated wastewater, different physico-chemical analyses of soil and growth parameters of plant were done. It was found that gasifier wastewater is not suitable for agricultural fields. It inhibits or delay growth of plants. But after suitable treatment, it can be useful for agricultural fields.Keywords

Air pollution causes severe environmental problems and has become a major health risk for livelihood in Delhi. With increase in population, there is an increase in emissions from various utilities as well. The main source of air pollution is crop residue burning followed by vehicular and industrial emission. Crop residue burning during winter produces a thick cloud of smoke and causes major threats to human health by deterioration in air quality. This crucial matter was also discussed in the Indian parliament. The National Green Tribunal and various Courts of India have directed to the Delhi government and various concerned agencies to resolve the air pollution problem. The present study discusses human health safety caused by air pollution, analysis and mitigation of air pollution using suitable environmental policies and application of biomass energy.Keywords
