Environmental health and safety(EHS) refers to the recognition, accurate assessment, and prevention of various health risks at workas well as the preservation of employees' productivity. On the other hand, ergonomics combines allof these issues to enhance the competency and well-being of workers. For this particular studyproject, an industrial estate was chosen, and it was further separated into three subzones formonitoring and assessment purposes. Instead of focusing on specific concerns, Industrial Estatewas created to address the difficulties associated with industrialization as a whole. The utilizationof two major data gathering techniques was employed. A specific checklist for EHS proceduresand a review of the site area from an EHS perspective. To address the general situation of theindustrial region, the appropriate measures of the various operations were also taken intoconsideration. Reviewing complaints and accident reports, conducting interviews, and othertechniques are examples of further data collecting approaches. The majority of the results were inconformity with national norms of PEQs and international standards of the World HealthOrganization (WHO), according to a comparison of monitoring reports for ambient air quality andwater quality. The PEQS-defined limit for PM10 was being exceeded. The graphs show how theair and water quality are currently in each location of the industrial site. The industrial estate's keyproblem zones have also been highlighted by the risk assessment matrix. However, a number ofconsiderations suggested that improving the way EHS procedures were implemented wasnecessary for EHS compliance with corporate SOPs.","PeriodicalId":19787,"journal":{"name":"Pakistan journal of science","volume":"58 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85127770","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

At 0.37 percent of the world's total, it ranks 35th in energy usage. Per capita, energyavailability is 43W, 1/7th of the world average. Pakistan's installed capacity is 34233 MW, however, itcan only generate 22000 MW against a peak load of 25000 MW, generating a 3000MW powershortfall. Not using the existing capacity, which is 8000MW larger than the peak load, is a sore issuefor technical, economical, and administrative reasons. Circular debt in the electricity sector stems fromsignificant reliance on imported petroleum and inefficient financial flow across tiers. The electricityshortage causes outages and hinders economic progress. The energy problem calls for concrete actionsto alleviate the shortfall. A way ahead is to transition the country's power industry from imported oilbasedthermalpowerplantstomorefeasibleindigenousresources,suchasrenewableenergyresources, \u0000of which Pakistan is rich and has great exploitation potential. This article surveys the availability ofrenewable energy sources, including hydro, solar, wind, and biomass, and their present and prospectivepenetration in the total power generating mix, with recommendations. Pakistan can extract 30 GWfrom hydropower and 11 GW from wind by 2030. According to estimates, a vast untapped potential ofsolar power must be brought into service with biogas as a supplement to meet future power needs. Thecomparative analysis has been done by doing a case study on different renewable energy strategies andtechniques adopted by other countries.","PeriodicalId":19787,"journal":{"name":"Pakistan journal of science","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90294360","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Modifiablecardio- vascular risk factors involve tobacco usage, hypertension, elevated blood glucose,dyslipidemia, overweight, environmental tobacco smoke (ETS), unhealthy diet, alcohol intake, lack ofphysical activity. The non modifiable cardio vascular risks are age, sex, family history and raciallocale. A public awareness of risk factors contributing cardio vascular disorders is imperative forhealth of individuals and suggested to investigate time and again during life. Risk factors identified inthis research are sufficient markers of changes in heart health during aging process. In future, riskfactors of cardio vascular diseases should be included in secondary classes’ syllabi for the earlyawareness and prevention of cardiovascular diseases in new generation. Public awareness should beenhanced through print and electronic media.

Based on economic research, the findingsshow that fish output and export continuously rose year after year. Despite this, the pace ofdevelopment in fish output over the previous two decades has been quite modest compared to otheremerging nations. The research also shows that inland aquaculture output in Pakistan is quicklyoutpacing marine aquaculture. On the contrary, no marine aquaculture methods exist or are supportedto improve fish output. The article discusses and measures for fisheries sector security and futuredevelopment potential for coastal and non-coastal regions. In Pakistan, aquaculture has emerged as themost promising option to address fish demand, food security, livelihood, employment, and nationalGDP. Furthermore, it is critical to focus on marine aquaculture to restore marine fishing resources,which may generate livelihoods in coastal communities. Finally, the main idea of this article is toprovide developmental techniques for authorities to grow and expand the aquaculture industry, whichmight provide numerous options for livelihood support in Pakistan.

Present research was conducted to check the occurrence ofaflatoxins B1 in cereals including pulses and poultry feed and to evaluate the potential of different techniques inremoving aflatoxin contamination from cereals. Methodology: 112 cereal samples which comprised of varieties of pulses and cereals used as poultry feed (yellow splitchickpeas, Barley, sorghum, wheat bran, corn seeds and oat) were collected from various locations of Lahore.Quantitative analyses were performed through Thin Layer Chromatography and High-Performance LiquidChromatography techniques. Detoxification of mycotoxin (Aflatoxin) contaminated samples was carried out throughboth chemical and physical methods. Results and Conclusion: Aflatoxins were found in 36% (n=40) of the samples, with concentrations ranging from 2.073to 23.03µg/kg-1. Selective 7 samples belonging to seven food types i.e., sorghum, yellow split chickpea, barley, wheatbran, corn and poultry feed mixture rendering negative aflatoxin results, were subjected to HPLC to confirm and validatethe results of TLC. HPLC having declared as more sensitive technique gave positive results for three out of sevensamples that previously were found negative for AFB1 in samples subjected to TLC analysis. The concentration detectedranges between 0.02-0.42µg/kg-1. Detoxification studies conducted through implementation of both physical andchemical methods proved the efficacy of both methods under variable conditions.

To compute waterquality index, ArcGIS Model Builder and ArcPy were employed. The key informants interviews andfocus group discussions were also conducted to list the water-related problems. The findings of thewater quality index ensured the good quality of collected surface water samples using physicochemicalparameters but the occurrence of microbiological contamination in both rivers declared water unfit fordrinking. It showed that the water of the city is being contaminated due to anthropogenic activities.The mixing of wastewater into drinking water sources was also reported by the respective authoritiesand community.
