Abstract This study introduces a novel nonlinear mathematical model by considering three dynamic variables: densities of human population and industries, and concentration of atmospheric pollutants. The formulated model ...

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...

ABSTRACT Background and Aims Infectious epiglottitis is inflammation of epiglottis and surrounding structures and may be life‐threatening without treatment. Air pollution is a critical risk factor for human health. Thi...

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...

The drinkable water scarcity has been increased worldwide due to the mixing of numerous hazardous organic and inorganic pollutants in water bodies, urging to find sustainable water remediation techniques. In this work, t...

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...

This study investigates the ingestion of microplastics (MPs) by zooplankton in the surf zone of southwestern Atlantic sandy beaches, an extremely turbulent environment with high interaction between suspended particles. S...

Co-doped titanium dioxide materials were successfully synthesized by the sol–gel method. Molybdenum was incorporated into all materials at 0.5 wt %, while the co-dopants, copper and cobalt, were added at 0.2–0.5 wt %...

In this study, biological and chemical pollutants from various points of Diyala River (wastewater, sewage, orchard water, running water, and liquefied water) were treated by synthesizing silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) by ...

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,...

Microplastics are currently considered widespread marine pollutants, accumulating in sediments and shorelines around the world. Spatial distribution of microplastics in marine sediments is consequence of a combination of...

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...

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...

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 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...

Mining activities in the Kenyan Marble Quarries (KMQ) are a potential source of atmospheric pollution, raising health concerns for the local population. This study aims to examine the extent to which marble mining contri...

Naringenin (NGN), a flavonoid widely utilized in agricultural and pharmaceutical applications, has increasingly become a source of environmental concern. This study systematically evaluated the developmental toxicity of ...

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 ...

The objective of the present work was to establish optimal biological and physicochemical parameters in order to remove simultaneously lindane and Cr(VI) at high and/or low pollutants concentrations from the soil by an a...

Abstract Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and microplastics (MPs) are certain types of persistent plastic contaminants that are a cause of concern to both the ecosystems and human health. The nanotechnologies o...

Single-atom catalysts (SACs) and dual-atom catalysts (DACs) have emerged as promising materials for activating persulfate (PS) in advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) aimed at degrading organic pollutants. This review sys...

Heterogeneous catalytic ozonation(HCO) has garnered significant attention in the field of water treatment due to its exceptional capability to mineralize organic pollutants. This technology enhances the degradation and m...

Abstract Roadside areas are major sources of traffic-related air pollutant emissions. This study identified the spatial distribution of roadside pollutants using Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) measurements and predicted t...
