An attempt has been made to determine proximate, nutritive value, elemental composition and heavy metal contents of different flowers and fruits samples. The flowers and fruits samples were analyzed with the help of standard procedure. Among the macro elements nitrogen, potassium, calcium was dominant and phosphorus, magnesium was lowest in the respective fruit samples. The micronutrients study reveals that iron was the dominant element and manganese and copper was the lowest elements. Of the six proximates, moisture and carbohydrates was dominant and protein and fiber was the lowest in the different fruit samples. The highest value of nutritive value was recorded in the fruit sample of S. anacardium and lowest value of nutritive value was recorded in the fruit samples of B. frondosa. The average values of proximate, nutritive values were compared with recommended dietary allowances (RDA) values and discussed. Further, fruits and flowers help to development of ayurvedic formulation and to established cottage industries to improve economic and social condition of local people are appended.

Porous pavements infiltrated with stormwater are faced with clogging problems: runoff particles seep and clog the pervious surface layer of these structures. Clogging material samples (in the form of sludge) have been collected in cleaning operations on the pervious asphalt. This study aims at characterizing these materials, particle size distribution, heavy metal contents by particle size, and studying interactions between metals and particles. A sequential extraction procedure proposed by the experts of the Community Bureau of Reference (B.C.R.) was applied to provide information about heavy metal distribution on particles and to evaluate interaction strength, and consequently potential metal mobility when chemical variations occurred in the environment. Mainly made up of sand, the materials are polluted with lead, copper, zinc and cadmium. The concentrations appeared to be linked with road traffic intensity. The heavy metal contents by particle size showed that the finer are the particles, the higher are the heavy metal concentrations. Heavy metals were found potentially labile; metals contents in the residual fraction (mineral fraction) represented less than 20 % of the total concentration. Cadmium and zinc were apparently more labile than lead and copper.
