Ponkans are very prone to puffing. The rind becomes thick and separates
from the pulp(segments) creating an air gap between peel and segments. Puffiness
develops because of high humidity as the storage period is extended. Puffing is rare
in sweet oranges, and lemons. Prestorage curing of the fruit can reduce the incidence
of puffiness (Murata, 1981). Kinnow mandarin hybrid fruits do not get puffy, while

range of private and public buildings. Air fresheners are designed to impart an aroma
to the air environment or to mask odors, with the intent of creating a pleasing indoor
space. However, despite the intent, air fresheners can emit and generate a range of
potentially hazardous air pollutants that can impair air quality. Even so-called green
and organic air fresheners can emit hazardous air pollutants. Air freshener
ten percent of all volatile ingredients are typically disclosed on air freshener labels
or material safety data sheets. From an indoor air quality perspective, air fresheners
have been indicated as a primary source of volatile organic compounds within

unintended and unknown risks. It examines the science, health, and policy

The ability of ponkan peel, a natural biosorbent, to remove Pb(II) ions from
aqueous solution by adsorption was studied. The experiments were carried out by
batch method at 25 °C. Important parameters such as pH, initial Pb(II) concentration
and contact time on the biosorption were investigated. The optimal pH value for
adsorption capacity was 5.0. The biosorption was relatively quick, about 60 min.
Based on the Langmuir-type isotherms the maximum uptake capacity of lead ions on
ponkan peel was 112.1 mg g-1. The result shows that ponkan peel is a good
biosorbent for removing lead ions from aqueous solution and does not need any
of toxic metal.
