CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background of the Study Generally, Palm oil mill effluent (POME) contains high chemical oxygen demand (COD) and biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) which can pollute the environment ecosystem if it is not treated properly. The characteristics of fresh POME are that it is highly viscous liquid, brownish in colour and discharged at a temperature of 80-90oC. Moreover, POME is extremely poisonous with a very low pH between 3.5 and 4.2, high chemical and biological oxygen demand

CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background of study Since the beginning of agriculture humans have had to endure major crop losses because of disease. Even today, when crop health is under careful scrutiny, disease may suddenly strike and ruin an entire season's growth. Fungal plant pathogens play an important role in all our lives as they threaten food security, economic prosperity and natural environments. Many fungi produce biologically activecompounds, several of which are toxicto animals or plants
In the case of palm oil the following have carried out studies in Malaysia, : Shamsudin et al., 1988; Yusoff (1988), Au and Boyd (1992); Shamsudin and Arshad, 1993; Abdullah, Amiruddin and Ibrahim (1993); Shamsudin et al., 1994; Lubis, 1994; Jani and Abdullah (1999) and Talib and Darawi
COST OF LAND SUBSIDENCE FOR LAND USERS Land subsidence in case study areas caused numerous direct and indirect damages that led to several costs (see Figure 5). According to the figure, in total, almost half of the land users suffer from the land subsidence both on the damage of the house and the flooding. Other costs of the land subsidence are the indirect cost on lowering of the groundwater and the health problem. Both in urban coastal and rural peatland, the damage to the house as well as flooding
Coconut oil has become one of the top picks for those following a healthy and well-proportioned diet on a global scale. Coconuts are solid, oval-shaped fruits created by the palm tree.

Some individuals refer to the coconut tree as the "tree of life" owing to the rich vitamins and minerals found in coconuts. Coconut oil is hauled out from coconuts.

Occupational Skin Disorder – Case Study The following report answers six questions from an Occupational skin disorder case study. It will identify the cause of the reported skin disorder, describe the outer layer of the skin, explain the process of dermal absorption and factors affecting it and examine the mechanism of chemical diffusion from the skin. The report also identifies the categories of dermatitis and examines an MSDS of the chemical agent in the case study. Case Study One of the janitors at
