The study was conducted from April 17 to May 3, 2023, with a sample of 690 households, 138 randomly selected from each community. The main methods used are survey, interview and observation in the field. \u0000The results show that household waste management in the cities studied does not contribute to sustainable development. Most households use garbage cans, mainly buckets and bags, but waste sorting is rare, except in the Kindele area. The most common waste disposal methods are inappropriate local disposal and incineration. The most common methods of waste disposal are disposal in inappropriate locations and incineration. Average waste weights vary by neighbourhood, with values ranging from 8.67 kg to 13.99 kg per household. It has a significant correlation between the total weight of waste generated per household and household size. \u0000The findings of the study indicate that the state of household waste management in these cities is worrying, with adverse consequences for the environment and public health. Proposals include new laws to regulate waste management, integration of waste management into urban development plans, establishment of landfills and public awareness of sanitation rules and the principles of waste reduction, reuse and recycling. Developing effective and sustainable strategies to address household waste management in these communities in Kinshasa is crucial.

The sampling process included 8 crops, averaging 7 samples for each plant and surrounding soils equally. The studied crops consisting of okra, onions, cucumber, tomatoes, eggplant, sweet potato, zucchini, and organic pepper showed obvious variability as follows: the activity levels of 226Ra varied from 0.16±0.1 Bq/kg (in eggplant) to 3.984±0.19 Bq/kg (in tomato), with an average of 1.57±0.14 Bq/kg. 232Th were found to be within the range of (0.023±0.01 - 2.93±0.19 Bq/kg) (in onions – in cucumber), and an average value of 0.80±0.12 Bq/kg. For 40K ranged between 87.801±2.24 Bq/kg (in cucumber) and 409.45±2.94 Bq/kg (in tomato), with an average of (273.53±2.43 Bq/kg).

All physicochemical parameters monitored in Bonny River water and sediment samples were within WHO acceptable. However, the concentrations of nitrate and phosphate (62.675 and 1.28 ppm) in New Calabar River water samples were above WHO limits of 10 and 1 ppm respectively. The Cd values (0.045-8.27 mg/l) at both locations exceeded WHO 0.003 mg/l limit. Likewise, Mn concentrations (6.02-15.5 mg/l) exceeded WHO 5.5 mg/l. Mercury (0.075-1.39 mg/l) was the lowest occurring heavy metal in the water samples but the concentration was still high enough for concern, as the possibility for bioaccumulation in fish species in the river was high. Chloride levels (318.375-423.045 mg/l) in the water samples exceeded WHO limit of 250 mg/l for drinking water. The samples also had high iron content (0.635-16.19 mg/l).

For quantitative analysis, a water audit was conducted in the Indrapuri colony of Haibat Mau Mawaiya locality, Lucknow, India. The water audit gives a balanced, scientific framework that classifies a system’s exclusive use of water and controls problems associated with drought, losses, leakage, and shortage. The quality of water indicates the condition of water concerning its suitability for a designated use like drinking, bathing, and so on. The qualitative analysis was done by taking several physicochemical parameters of water. If these parameters do not meet the standards, further preventive measures are required for social well-being and good economic health.

Hence it is quite obvious to have a concern over the constitution of the Tribunal. The ability of the NGT to upkeep the constitutional right to safeguard the environment is to be experienced from its functioning. Crossing ten years, it is ideal for analyzing the effectiveness of NGT in achieving its mandate. Moreover, the right to environment is a fundamental right and a basic human right inspired by the international community as well as the United Nations documents. Most of the jurisprudence evolved internationally for environmental protection is now incorporated by the Supreme Court into the Indian legal system. Monitoring these fundamental guarantees is also now a promise expected from NGT, and its members are expected to be reasonably competent to upkeep these promises. Analyzing this competency of NGT over this period is significant for numerous reasons. \u0000Addressing the conflict between development and environmental protection is one of the most challenging exercises, both in administrative and in judicial terms. On a close look at the NGT, it can be seen that the role in balancing development and environmental protection is mainly done now by the NGT. The success rate of NGT in drawing the balance will be analyzed in this work. Drawing a balance between development and environmental protection is designing this country's sustainable development concept. Thus, the role of NGT in this dimension also needs to be critically assessed. \u0000In short, this article will try to conceptualize the effectiveness and pitfalls of making legislation like the NGT Act in India. This doctrinal research, with the aid of case laws of the Tribunal as well as the Constitutional Courts of India and research works and books of eminent scholars, can help understand the role played by the NGT in fostering sustainability and environmental justice in India, along with the challenges it faces.","PeriodicalId":253461,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Environment & Ecology","volume":"98 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127671837","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}

This impacts vegetation biodiversity, through species invasion and shift in weeds population dynamics. Oil palm plantations are common in tropical landscapes, and can cause long-term floristic changes. There is paucity of knowledge on inventory and potential impacts of the plantation on community structure of plants. This study investigated herbaceous flora diversity and phytosociology as indicators of  appropriateness of management strategy in the University of Ibadan oil palm plantation. The study site is located in a lowland rainforest at the Teaching and Research Farm, University of Ibadan, Ibadan, Nigeria on 07°27`253`N latitude and longitude 03°53`427`E. A systematic sampling was employed to enumerate herbaceous flora of a hectare mega plot. The hectare was laid along 100 m transects at 10 m intervals, with 10 m separating each transect. Each transect was laid to cut across middle of 9 m x 9 m x 9 m plant spacing for oil palm. Data were collected on species composition, frequency and density for determination of relative importance value (RIV), species diversity, ordination and classification. The plantation consisted of 32 herbaceous  species in 15 plant families. Commelina erecta had the highest RIV (12.621) while Alchornea cordifolia had the least (RIV=0.288). Diversity indices indicated high species richness (Simpson Index = 0.909) among enumerated species and species co-dominance (D = 0.091) Ordination biplots indicated three distinct vegetation structures (Secondary, wetland, dryland/fallow). Classification model showed Commelina erecta had widest coverage of 92% in distribution at the site followed by Commelina benghalensis at 88%. The Oil palm plantation is heterogeneous in species composition, and was not detrimentally invaded. Weeding regimes and other agronomic practices in the plantation should be ecologically integrated to conserve its native vegetation.","PeriodicalId":253461,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Environment & Ecology","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132465480","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}
