Ultraviolet- visible absorption spectrophotometry is still increasingly finding its way in pharmaceutical analysis worldwide. With the advancement in this method, it achieves precision and accuracy in analysis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) as well as commercial dosage forms. This illustrative guide is divided into two sections i.e. qualification and quantification. Qualification includes comparative calibration procedures as per difference Pharmacopoeias with various reference materials, comparative validation parameters and procedures as per different guidelines, optimum conditions for spectrophotometric measurement and factors affecting absorption. On the other hand quantification includes procedures and approaches for analyzing the pharmaceutical substance via different spectrophotometric methods including various derivative spectrophotometric and chemo-metric techniques.

Irrigation with sewage water not only meets the water requirement but also fulfill partial nutrient need of the crop. Beside this, under arid and semi arid conditions where irrigation is a prerequisite for successful agriculture, sewage water as a source of irrigation is equally important as the need for its disposal. But the hydraulic and nutrient loadings of raw sewage water are several times above the assimilative capacity of soil-plant system. Long term use of raw sewage waters for irrigating vegetable crops may result in metal accumulation in soils to such an extent that may affect plant growth and may cause clinical problems in animals and human beings too. The manuscript provides introduction to sewage water with respect to the physical and chemical characteristics, its effect on physical and chemical properties of the soils as well as on metallic cations build-up in soil and vegetables grown in these sewage farms. If this work is able to rouse further interest in environmentalist, scientists and students in universities working in various fields associated with pollution, we would consider one of the principal objectives of publishing it fulfilled.
