Rapid urbanization lead to frequents encounters with wild animals and insects which leads to health hazards. Poisoning due to insect bite may warrant immediate medical attention. Tagaradi Agada is one of such agada useful in poisonous insect bite which is mentioned in ashtang sangraha uttartantra vishapratishedha adhyaya. Shloka phalashruti has mentioned its specific anti-toxic effect in makshika visha. This review is for collective information of therapeutic and pharmacological study of this agada for makshika visha poisoning.

Rapid Urbanization

Noise pollution due to road traffic is a potential threat to human health. Since it is a global hazard, the rapid urbanization and exponential traffic growth have aggravated the problem. Population residing along the busy traffic lanes is continuously exposed to the sound levels which are above the permissible limits. This constant exposure to noise pollution is a cause of concern as it leads to several adverse impacts on human health. Traffic noise causes irritation and annoyance, sleep disturbances, cardiovascular disease, risk of stroke, diabetes, hypertension and loss of hearing. It results in decreased work performance. The present review highlights the serious health hazards of road traffic noise (RTN) which needs to be curbed. Preventive measures of noise pollution can help in combating noise-induced health hazards and increased work performance.

Biodegradation Process

Dye is a chemical substance which is used for coloring of a substance. For better coloration of substance it is made chemically stable and persistence to light, and biodegradation process. After applied to a substrate the waste generated in water causes very toxic effect and hazardous for aquatic ecosystem so it is necessary to degrade or decolorize dyes from waste water. In present review degradation of different dyes using Fe3O4 based nanoparticles were cited and their catalytic properties for degradation studied in this review.

A method for comparing the lethality effect of contact insecticides on mosquitoes and house-flies is proposed.It is based on the comparison of the death-rate and the length of survival of insects after a contact for a very short and exactly measured time with a surface sprayed with a known concentration of the insecticide.It is suggested that the same method may be used to compare the susceptibility of various species of mosquitoes and flies to the toxic action of a contact insecticide.Some of the methods and apparatus were worked out and constructed by the Staff of No. 1 Malaria Field Laboratory under the command of the senior author. The following Officers and N.C.O.'s of the Royal Army Medical Corps were especially active in this work, and acknowledgement is made of their valuable contributions: Major T. T. Macan, Major Fox, Lt. MacDonald, Staff-Sgt. (later Major) Iles, Cpl. Mortimer.We are also indebted to Prof. F. S. Bodenheimer and Major T. T. Macan for their help in preparing this paper.

Toxicological studies on wild animals play an important role in the ecotoxicological examination of pesticides. The applied model tests enable the assessment of toxicological consequences with particular regard to the life and nutrition of wild animals in the ploughed field among plants treated with pesticides. The application of different pesticide formulations on plough-land may pose a simultaneous chemical burden to wild birds. In this model study, manifestations of the interaction between an insecticide and a herbicide were studied in pheasants. The birds were placed on lucerne in cages (48 m2) and sprayed once. The applied doses were: Sumithion 50 EC 1 litre/ha + Fusilade S 6 litres/ha (practical doses) and Sumithion 50 EC 5 litres/ha + Fusilade S 30 litres/ha. The analytically determined pesticide concentration of the lucerne was taken as a basis in the further treatment of fodder. The fodder of pheasants contained the following chemicals: 85 mg/kg Sumithion 50 EC + 510 mg/kg Fusilade S and 425 mg/kg Sumithion 50 EC + 2250 mg/kg Fusilade S. Sporadic deaths observed among the pheasants were of traumatic origin and not due to a toxic effect. The decrease of body weight was significant only at the higher dose levels. Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity of the blood decreased significantly in both dose groups. On the basis of the results obtained it can be established that at the dose level used in the practice the pesticides studied do not give rise to a toxic interaction in pheasants.

Dengue fever is one of arthropod born and epidemiological disease caused by Arbovirus carried by vector Aedes aegypti. Dengue is the most rapidly spreading mosquito borne viral disease in the world.lifestyle changes and deficient water management including improper water storage practices in urban, peri urban The survey findings indicated that 49% of country's population had been previously infected with DENV. Due to rapid urbanization, and rural areas, leading to proliferation of mosquito breeding sites. Dengue fever has a seasonal pattern, the cases peak after monsoon not uniformly disrtibuted throughout the year. Incubation period of 2-7 days. Fever, malaise, retro-orbital pain, headache, arthralgia, petechiae, itching are common features. Thrombocytopenia is common. Macular rash may occur on first day. Illness may last a week with additional symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, anorexia, marked cutaneous hypersensitivity. Maculopapular rash begins on the trunk spreading to extremities and face. Leucocytes and platelets numbers decreases. Serum aminotransferase level may rise. IgM ELISA or paired serology test should be done at the phase of recovery. Antigen detection ELISA or RT-PCR during acute phase should be done. Due to Jwara Nidan, Pachakagni produces Doshakar Dravya which imbalances Tridosha. Ushma is necessary for Jwalan (burning) of this Doshkar Dravyas. Doshkar Dravya causes Kshobh to Vata Dosha and particularly Saman Vayu, causes more Agni Prajwalan and increases Ushma. Excessive increase in Ushma leads to Ojasthana Hriday Dushti, Tarpak Kapha in Shira Dushti, Shirashta Indriyadushti, Pranasthana Dushti. According to Samhita study, dengue fever can be correlated to Agantu Jwara, Sannipatik Jwara, Dandak Jwara and Vishamjwara. Keywords: Doshakar Dravya, Jwara Nidan, Pachakagni, Tridosha, Ushma
