Dear Readers,

Contents

Happy New Year 2010!

We are celebrating ‘International year of Biodiversity 2010’ and our country is one of the twelfth mega biodiversity region in the world. Let us conserve our rich biodiversity by safeguarding the pristine and fragile ecosystems.

Air pollution has become a major public concern since the past three decades all over the world. Air borne particles of industrial origin attract growing attention as potential contaminants and inducers of many respiratory diseases.

Use of waste products from any source is not only a partial solution to environmental and ecological issues, but it also solves the problems encountered in its disposal.

This issue also carries articles on the use of slaughter-house waste for the production of lipase, and the prevalence of airborne fungal spores in industrial region and its impact on human health.

Do write to us expressing your views on this and any other matter concerning Microorganisms and Environment Management.

We are happy to share our views with you and look forward to your suggestions and feedback (www.envismadrasuniv.org/send_feedback.php) on the articles published in this Newsletter.
