Contribution of renewable energy to human life is essential for
sustainable life on Earth. The renewable energy industry is growing
rapidly to fulfil the energy demand of the continuously developing
world and has become the focal centre of many researchers across
the globe. This development should meet the needs of the present
without compromising the ability of future generations to meet
their own needs. Sustainable development ties together concerns for
the carrying capacity of natural systems with the social challenges
faced by humanity. This book is intended to highlight various
aspects for applications of renewable energy and sustainability.
This work is a collaborative attempt to elaborate useful technical
information from many countries across the globe about the
competent and effective use of renewable energy systems. This book
presents theoretical and experimental analysis, case studies and
models in renewable energy systems issues related to Solar Energy,
Wind Energy, Bio Energy, Tidal Energy, Geothermal Energy, Fuel
Cells, and Energy Storage Systems. This book also contains
different considerations in order to develop products contributing
to the sustainability of life.
In the present investigation, information has been collected on
about 63 plants used for medicinal purposes of Irulas and
MudugasTribes. Based on the information gathered, nine plants viz.,
Pelargonium, graveolens, Ocimum basilicum, Cympopogan citratus,
Eucalyptus globulus, Ruta chalepensis, Premna corymbosa,
Plactranthus amboinicus, Placanthus barbatus and Scoparia dulcis
were selected and their ethanolic extraction of the leaves were
made by Soxlet apparatus. Essential volatile oils were obtained
from the leaves by steam distillation. Mosquito repellent
formulation like coil, skin lotion, mat and liquidizer was done by
using plants products in combination with inert substances. And the
efficiency of repellent products were tested against vector
mosquitoes, Anopheles stephensi, Liston, Culex quinquefasciatus
Say, Aedes aegypti (Linn.), Smoke repellent activity, skin
repellent activity, the maximum Liquid Mosquito Insecticide Extract
Formulation (LMIEF), vapourising mats were carried out against
vector mosquitoes. Among the nine plants tested Pelargonium,
graveolens was foud to be more effective in the smoke repellent,
skin repellent activity against three vector mosquitoes tested.
