Heavy metal pollution has become a major global concern due to its serious threats to ecosystem stability and public health. Although significant progress has been achieved in physical, chemical, and biological remediati...

Poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are persistent environmental pollutants widely used in industrial applications due to their thermal stability and chemical resistance. However, their persistence in the environ...

Abstract Integrating environmental science with STEM education can strengthen scientific literacy and technological fluency. This review synthesizes literature on phytoremediation-based instruction and proposes an interd...

Abstract The dual challenges of waste biomass disposal and escalating contamination by inorganic, organic, and emerging microplastic pollutants demand sustainable, circular remediation strategies. Biochar, a carbon-rich,...

ABSTRACT The objective of the present work was to evaluate the performance of a compartmentalized anaerobic reactor (CAR) followed by anaerobic filter in real scale, effluent treatment from fish fridge processing. The wo...

Bismuthoxide-based catalysts gained attention for photocatalytic remediation of environmental pollutants owing to their low cost, feasibility, stability, small, and tunable band gap. In the present work, bismuth molybdat...

Modern lifestyle factors, including dietary choices, significantly affect individual and intergenerational health. The widespread reliance on processed and takeout foods, along with the regular use of cosmetics and perso...

This integrative review synthesizes current knowledge on the physiological responses and adaptive mechanisms of amphibians and reptiles to multiple interacting environmental stressors, with particular emphasis on synergi...

Dietary exposure to carcinogenic compounds generated during meat processing represents a critical yet underexplored component of the African cancer exposome. Traditional high-temperature cooking methods, including smokin...

The current number of emerging contaminants worldwide may reach tens of thousands. However, research on the extra-pulmonary toxicity induced by combined exposure of extremely low-dose emerging pollutants remains extremel...

Incense and candles are commonly utilized for relaxation, deodorization, aesthetics, and religious observance. Both are used ubiquitously and viewed innocuously. However, both modalities release a multitude of compounds,...

Abstract Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are persistent organic pollutants of global concern due to their widespread occurrence, environmental persistence, and well-documented adverse effects on human health. In ...

Hydrocarbon pollution from oil spills, traffic emissions, and industrial processes continues to be a significant global threat to biodiversity, soil quality, water quality, and human health. Lichens, mutualistic life for...

Abstract Man-made synthetic/manufactured nano-objects (MNOs) are increasingly used in almost every scientific sector, including pharmaceutical, agricultural, food, and drug industries worldwide. Rapid advances in nanotec...

Abstract Industrialization and urbanization exacerbate global environmental health challenges, with pollutants from industrial and vehicular emissions (e.g., PAHs, NOx, PM2.5) posing significant risks. Growing evidence l...

Abstract Residues of pharmaceuticals are gradually accumulating in surface water resources because of the disposal of wastewater effluent. For the present study, four surface water resources (rivers and streams) that rec...

Abstract Background With the rapid advancement of industrialization and urbanization, air pollution is becoming increasingly serious, posing a huge threat to human health. There is ambiguity in the research on the impact...

Airlines release the unburned jet fuel into the atmosphere to reduce the weight of aircraft before landing. Sometimes, aircraft reach a weight more than takeoff weight while departing from the airport. Therefore, the pil...

Microplastics (MPs), environmental pollutants resulting from the degradation of plastic products and industrial processes, have become ubiquitous in global ecosystems. MPs can enter the human body through ingestion, inha...

Benzo[a]pyrene (BaP), a widespread environmental pollutant, has been increasingly implicated in the pathogenesis of chronic degenerative diseases. Environmental pollutants have recently been recognized as emerging risk f...

This study aimed to determine the presence of metal elements in fruits and leaves of three tree species as bioindicators in San Luis Potosi, Mexico. Ninety fruit and 90 leaf samples (30 per tree species) were collected a...

ABSTRACT Phthalates such as isophthalate, phthalate, and terephthalate are widespread environmental pollutants with significant health and ecological impacts. Comamonas testosteroni KF1 initiates isophthalate degradation...
