Drug abuse among school children


Mangalore Today News Network

By Dr. G. Shreekumar Menon

Mangaluru, July 3, 2024: Drug abuse is a serious issue affecting all sections of the society, irrespective of age, education or economic status. It is very disheartening to observe that every so often there are reports of school children involved in abusing narcotic drugs, sold by heartless peddlers and shopkeepers. Needless to say, it has become a major problem affecting the children’s education, lives and continues to ravage countless innocent children, across the country.

The negative consequences of drug abuse affect not only children who are misled into abusing drugs but also their families and friends, and government resources. The most obvious effects of drug abuse which are manifested in the children who abuse drugs include ill health, chronic addiction and even sudden death.

PAPER CHROMATOGRAPHY

  Unlocking the Colors: A Simple Guide to Paper Chromatography ​Author: Gireesh CM Date: March 4, 2026 ​Abstract ​This article explores the fundamental principles of Paper Chromatography, a common technique used in chemical analysis. By reflecting on work undertaken during the B.Ed course, this post simplifies the mechanism of how substances separate through stationary and mobile phases, making the concept accessible for student teachers and science enthusiasts alike. Key terms: Paper Chromatography, Partition, Stationary Phase, Mobile Phase, Solvent. ​Introduction ​During my B.Ed journey, one of the most fascinating laboratory techniques I encountered was Paper Chromatography. While it might sound complex, it is actually a very elegant and simple way to separate different parts of a mixture. Whether you are identifying the dyes in ink or the pigments in a leaf, the science remains the same. This article breaks down the "Theory" behind this process into easy-to-understand sec...

A study on pigment separation using chromatography

 ARTICLE REVIEW ​Topic: A Study on Pigment Separation Using Chromatography Reviewer: Gireesh CM ​INTRODUCTION ​This article explores the fundamental principles and practical applications of paper chromatography in separating plant pigments. In the field of biological and chemical sciences, understanding the composition of natural compounds is essential. The article emphasizes how chromatography serves as a vital analytical tool, allowing researchers and students to identify various pigments present in green leaves. It sets the stage by discussing the importance of laboratory techniques in visualizing scientific concepts. ​BRIEF SUMMARY ​The study investigates the process of separating mixtures based on the specific properties of their components, such as solubility and polarity. By using paper chromatography, the experiment demonstrates how different pigments move at different rates across a stationary phase when carried by a mobile phase. The primary focus is on identifying pigmen...

A study on pigment separation using chromatography

 Title A Study on Pigment Separation Using Chromatography This study explores the separation of plant pigments through paper chromatography. The experiment focuses on identifying various pigments present in green leaves and understanding how chromatography helps separate mixtures based on differences in solubility and polarity. It demonstrates the practical application of chromatographic techniques in biology and chemistry laboratories for analyzing natural compounds. Abstract This study investigates the separation of plant pigments using paper chromatography. Leaf extracts were prepared using a suitable solvent and applied to chromatography paper. When placed in a solvent system, pigments separated into distinct bands due to differences in solubility and adsorption. The experiment successfully identified chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, xanthophyll, and carotene. The findings confirm chromatography as an effective technique for separating and analyzing components of complex mixtures....
