Legumes have high nutritional value and they are important sources of protein, carbohydrates, fats and dietary fiber. The contamination of legumes with pesticides and heavy metals has been reported in scientific literature. Human beings are mainly exposed to the residues of pesticides and heavy metals through the dietary route. The purpose of this review chapter is to highlight the acute and chronic health risks that human beings may be exposed to as a result of the ingestion of legumes polluted with pesticides and heavy metals. Additionally, the mechanisms through which pesticides and heavy metals engender different undesirable health outcomes in human beings were stated. Scientific literature were perused and the information contained in them were collated to derive this chapter. Pesticides cause short-term health effects including hypersensitivity and mortality, while heavy metals induce acute effects like seizures and death. Some chronic untoward effects of pesticides are congenital disabilities and neurological damage. Heavy metals elicit disorders like anemia, hypertension and cancer. It is envisaged that the findings documented in this review will create awareness of the health risks posed by the contamination of legumes with the residues of pesticides and heavy metals so that food safety measures can be enforced globally.

A Review on Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) as Environmental Pollutants: Fate and Distribution

Concentration Levels

VOCs include a variety of organic chemicals emitted as gases from certain solids and liquids. The nature and extent of these health effects depend on the concentration levels of these VOCs and the duration of their exposure and pose adverse health effects to humans. Although VOCs are found in a variety of industrial, commercial and household products; it is their concentration in wells and groundwater that has gained attention in recent years. When VOCs are spilled or improperly disposed of, a portion of it after evaporation are soaked on the ground, which eventually reaches wells and groundwater. Drinking of inadequately treated VOCs contaminated groundwater is potentially harmful to human beings. Trichloroethylene and vinyl chloride are most toxic and carcinogenic among all VOCs. The present paper reviews the sources, health risks, transport and fate of these VOCs in groundwater. Besides, analytical methods for the detection of VOCs in groundwater and techniques for mitigation of VOCs from groundwater have also been discussed.

Positive Results

The possibility that using a cell phone could cause brain cancer first arose in the early 1990s and has been the subject of research since then. Radiofrequency waves used in cellular communications are far too weak to induce cancer by any known mechanism, and most scientific and regulatory bodies have found the evidence for health effects from use of mobile phones to be unconvincing. Nevertheless, positive results, largely from a single group of researchers, and an ambiguous assessment from single agency have kept the controversy alive. New studies are in progress.

Prof Gboyega A Ogunbanjo, in his editorial entitled ‘Cell phone use and ill health: is there a definite relationship?’, published in South African Family Practice, has addressed the possible link between mobile phone use and adverse health effects such as cancer. He has also discussed the challenging issue of electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS). Although his editorial has remarkable strengths, this paper needs some clarifications. The main concerns regarding the evidence presented in this paper about possible association of mobile phone use with cancer are discussed. In this light, recent evidence that supports a possible link as well as the shortcomings of the reports claiming no association between exposure to radiofrequency radiation and cancer are presented.

Mobile phones are used for an expansion of functions, including keeping in touch with own family participants, for conducting business, and which will have access to a smartphone in the event of an emergency. Some human beings carry a couple of cell phone for extraordinary purposes, such as for business and private use. This software is your personal offline assistant that will help you with the common issues faced in everyday life. It works completely without Internet. Using this application from another mobile we can get the contact information, locate the mobile, lock the screen of the lost mobile. I used Android Studio and java to develop this application. This application can be accessed only using a passcode set after installation and information can be accessed only if the passcode is correct. This application is compatible with any android mobile. User needs to grant access for location, contacts and override some system settings to work properly
