Environmental factors such as air pollution, weather events, and ambient toxins are major contributors to human disease, with disproportionate impacts on vulnerable populations. In Puerto Rico, chronic exposure to air po...

Abstract This study evaluated the viability of organic farming in the Upper (UGR), Middle (MGR), and Lower Ganga Regions (LGR) by analysing soil health, nutrient availability, and heavy metal contamination. Using standar...

Approximately 670 million residents in the ASEAN region face heat-related health risks including synergistic effects with air pollution. Despite health impacts of heat studies existed in individual countries, a regionwid...

Abstract Air pollution, particularly Nitrogen Dioxide ( $$\text {NO}_2$$ ) and ground-level ozone ( $$\text {O}_3$$ ), poses major risks to human health and the environment, making accurate forecasting essential for effe...

Abstract Background Air pollution particles exacerbate allergic asthma and can enhance inflammatory responses to allergen exposure, but the cellular mechanisms involved remain incompletely defined. We examined how diesel...

This study presents the first comparative assessment of tobacco and non-tobacco industrial effluents in Bangladesh, emphasizing irrigation potential and ecological risks (ER) through multi-index evaluations. Eighteen tob...

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...

Urban air pollution from traffic emissions poses a significant risk to students residing in student communal housing (SCH) near major roadways. This study investigates the impact of peak hour traffic on ambient air quali...

Antimony (Sb), a toxic and potentially carcinogenic element, can readily accumulate in rice, posing challenges to both food safety and agricultural production. Building upon the previous study on the highly antimony-tole...

Airborne particulate matter 10 (PM10) induces lung inflammation. However, interventions remain limited. We evaluated the protective effects of Chrysanthemum zawadskii var. latilobum (CZL) against PM10-induced lung injury...

Abstract Physical sciences are essential to the predictive modeling of complex environmental systems, particularly environmental monitoring and sustainability applications, as they provide the deterministic foundation re...

Abstract Microplastic pollution in freshwater is a global concern, yet field monitoring often lacks standardization, hindering data comparability and analysis. This systematic review bridges the gap between lab findings ...

Prenatal exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) has been associated to childhood atopic dermatitis (AD), but the critical exposure window and the role of maternal inflammatory pathways remain unclear. We analyzed 40...

Objective Despite of the tentative role of asbestos in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), their lung function variation in relation to air pollution remains unexplored. This cross-sectional study aimed to expl...

Environmental pollution caused by non-biodegradable plastic waste has become a major global concern, prompting the development of eco-friendly alternative materials. Bioplastics derived from natural polymers are consider...

Abstract Fine particulate matter (PM2.5) is a significant air pollutant in the Indo Gangetic Basin (IGB), where levels frequently exceed national and WHO air quality standards. Ground observations from 183 CPCB automatic...

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 Peroxyacetyl nitrate (PAN) is a key secondary pollutant formed through atmospheric photochemical reactions and is regarded as a characteristic indicator of photochemical pollution. In China, while primary pollut...

Environmental justice communities across the United States continue to experience disproportionate exposure to industrial pollution, particularly in regions dominated by petrochemical infrastructure. The Alsen / St. Irma...

Introduction There are serious and long-term effects of air pollution on children, thus the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh, Air Pollution Working Group has evaluated whether air quality was being sufficiently m...

The mechanistic understanding of toxic metals reactive transport in complex porous media is essential for pollution prediction and remediation in soil-groundwater systems. This study aims to experimentally and numericall...

Abstract Background Infection is a significant complication of diabetes, yet comprehensive assessments of risk factors for infections in individuals with diabetes are scarce. We aimed to identify risk factor profiles and...

Abstract Background Heavy metal pollution, particularly cadmium (Cd), poses a significant threat to the environment, human health and plant growth. Taurine is an amino acid with antioxidant properties. The effect of taur...
