مولانا محمد اویس ندوی نگرامی
دارالمصنفین اور معارف کے حلقہ میں مولانا محمد اویس ندوی نگرامی کا نام محتاج تعارف نہیں ہے، وہ معارف کی مجلس ادارت کے رکن اور دارالمصنفین کی مینیجنگ کمیٹی کے ممبر تھے، رفیق کی حیثیت سے بھی کئی سال تک یہاں رہ چکے اور تصنیف و تالیف کے علاوہ سیرۃ النبی کی نظرثانی میں بھی انھوں نے مولانا سید سلیمان ندوی مرحوم کا ہاتھ بٹایا تھا، سید صاحب کی جوہر شناس نگاہ نے طالب علمی کے زمانہ ہی میں ان کی صلاحیت کا اندازہ کرلیا تھا، تعلیم سے فراغت کے کچھ ہی عرصہ بعد ان کو دارالمصنفین لے آئے، تصنیف و تالیف کے علاوہ وہ ان کی درسی لیاقت کے بھی معترف تھے، قرآن مجید کے مطالعہ کا شوق انہیں شروع ہی سے تھا، سید صاحب کی صحبت میں یہ ذوق اور بڑھا، یوں تو سبھی اہم تفسیریں نظر سے گزریں تھی، لیکن ابن جریر اور ابن کثیر سے زیادہ دلچسپی تھی علامہ ابن تیمیہ اور حافظ ابن قیم کے تو عاشق تھے، ان کا ذکر بڑے والہانہ انداز میں کیا کرتے تھے، اس گرویدگی کا اثر تھا کہ مختلف کتابوں سے ان کے تفسیری بیانات چن کر ایک ضخیم کتاب تیار کردی، ان کی یہ کوشش ہندوستان ہی میں نہیں، بلکہ پوری دنیا میں قدر کی نگاہ سے دیکھی گئی، اب تک کئی اڈیشن شائع کرچکے ہیں۔
علمی انہماک کے ساتھ تزکیۂ نفس اور اصلاح باطن کا بھی بڑا خیال تھا، ان کا خاندان شریعت و طریقت کی جامعیت میں ممتاز تھا، ان کے پردادا مولانا عبدالعلی حضرت شاہ علم اﷲ رائے بریلوی کے سلسلہ سے وابستہ تھے، دادا مولانا محمد ادریس بھی ایک بڑے عالم اور شیخ طریقت تھے، وہ مولانا عبدالحئی فرنگی محلی مولانا عبدالحق حقانی اور قاری عبدالرحمن پانی پتی کے شاگرد اور مولانا فضل رحمن گنج...
Objectives: 1. To determine the impact of duration of exposure to industrial chemical fumes on Peak Expiratory Flow Rate (PEFR) and blood pressure of the industrial workers. 2. To find out the association between changes in blood pressure and PEFR due to exposure to industrial chemical fumes in these subjects. Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed at Aziz Fatimah Medical and Dental College, Faisalabad. The study participants were 151 males working in the chemical industries. The study was approved by institutional ethical committee and informed consent was taken from the participants. Free camp was arranged for three days in September 2020 in the industrial area of Faisalabad. Thorough history of exposure to chemicals was taken using structured proforma. PEFR values were recorded using Wrights handheld peak flow meter. Blood pressure was taken by auscultatory method using mercury sphygmomanometer. Data was analyzed using SPSS version 22. Results: Systolic and diastolic blood pressures were significantly raised with increase in duration of exposure. PEFR levels were significantly declined with increase in duration of exposure to chemicals. Significant negative association was noted between diastolic blood pressure and PEFR (p value = 0.003). Negative correlation was observed between PEFR and systolic Blood pressure, however it was not statistically significant (p value = 0.92). Conclusions: PEFR decreased while Systolic and diastolic blood pressures increased significantly with increase in the duration of exposure to chemicals. There was a significant negative correlation between PEFR and diastolic blood pressure while there was no association between PEFR and systolic blood pressure.
Karachi, being one of the largest urban setup in the world under the sprawl of rapid and unplanned urbanization, is at the risk of contaminated atmosphere. In the present study, chemical contaminants were assessed and monitored in wet and dry atmospheric depositions of Karachi to identify the adverse impact of anthropogenic activities mainly and climatic influence in general affecting atmospheric composition of Karachi. Samples of rainwater had been collected for five years (i.e. 2008, 2010 – 2013), to estimate the ionic load in wet deposition. Similarly, dust samples were collected from different sites for the analyses and estimation of contaminants in dry deposition. Sampling sites with intense vehicular activities, neighboring to industrial zone and sites in congested localities where routine dumping and burning of garbage were in progress, were given due consideration during the sampling campaigns. Major ions (F-, Cl-, SO42-, NO2-, NO3-, HCOO-, CH3CHOO-, C2O42-, Li+, Na+, K+, Mg2+ and Ca2+) were analyzed through Ion Chromatography as per EPA method 300, UV/Visible spectrophotometer was used for the analysis of NH4+ and TOC analyzer was used for the monitoring of TOC in rainwater samples. XRF analysis was carried out for the quantitative scanning of complete elemental profile of dry samples. Heavy metals were also monitored along with other elements. Air mass back trajectories were generated for the rainy events using NOAA HYSPLIT model for confirming the climatic control on the composition of rainwater. GIS was used as a tool to interpret data through thematic maps. Source apportionment of contaminants was supported by evaluating different factor like Enrichment Factor (EF), Neutralization Factor (NF), Correlation Matrix, and Factor Analysis (FA) using PCA (Principal Component Analysis). It was concluded through the detailed systematic analysis and processing of the data through several statistical and GIS models that acidic ions are present in high concentrations which are concealed by the neutralizing agents like Na+ and Ca2+ in atmosphere. Elemental profile indicates the alarming enrichment of Pb and Zn in atmospheric deposition samples of industrial areas and sites with high vehicular activities. This study provides very first systematic efforts to set a baseline data of contaminants in the ambient atmospheric wet and dry depositions of Karachi city.
