Background: Smokeless tobacco consumption, which is widespread throughout the world, lead to oral sub mucous fibrosis (OSMF), which is a long-lasting and disturbing condition of the oral cavity with the potential for malignancy. Mainly focus on the consumption of smokeless tobacco, such as pan and ghutkha the role of these substances in the instruction of OSMF and ultimately oral cancer. It was established using the finding tools provide. The continuous chewing pan and swallowing of ghutkha cause progressive fibrosis in sub mucosal tissue. Generally, OSMF occurs due to multiple risk factors, especially smokeless tobacco and its mechanism, such as betel quid, Areca nuts, and slaked lime, which are used in pan and gutkha. The incidence of oral cancer is higher in women than in men in the South Asian country. Objective: 1 To assess the existing knowledge regarding health hazards of spitting in public places among the general population. 2. To develop Information booklet regarding health hazards of spitting in public places among the general population. Material and Method: Research Design: Pre experimental research design, Research Approach: Survey approach, Setting of Study:  Rural population Sawangi (Meghe) Wardha district, Sample: The sample for the present study comprised of 100, Sample size: The sample size selected for this study was 100 sample, Sampling Technique: A convenience sampling technique. Result: After the complete analysis, this study lead to the following result  that the mean knowledge score in pre-test was 6.61±2.30 and in post test it was 11.68±1.45 and mean percentage of knowledge score in pre test was 44.06±15.33 and in post test it was 77.86±9.70. Conclusion: After the conclusion of the study it is exposed that the most of the knowledge are gained by providing the booklet and it is  most effective result are occurred to provide the same information about the splitting.

Standard techniques of electropolishing silver and silver alloys for electron microscopy in most instances have relied on various CN recipes. These methods have been characteristically unsatisfactory due to difficulties in obtaining large electron transparent areas, reproducible results, adequate solution lifetimes, and contamination free sample surfaces. In addition, there are the inherent health hazards associated with the use of CN solutions. Various attempts to develop noncyanic methods of electropolishing specimens for electron microscopy have not been successful in that the specimen quality problems encountered with the CN solutions have also existed in the previously proposed non-cyanic methods.The technique we describe allows us to jet polish high quality silver and silver alloy microscope specimens with consistant reproducibility and without the use of CN salts.The solution is similar to that suggested by Myschoyaev et al. It consists, in order of mixing, 115ml glacial actic acid (CH3CO2H, specific wt 1.04 g/ml), 43ml sulphuric acid (H2SO4, specific wt. g/ml), 350 ml anhydrous methyl alcohol, and 77 g thiourea (NH2CSNH2).
