Abstract In recent years, the frequent occurrence of high-concentration ozone pollution events has attracted widespread attention from all sectors of society. Using high spatial resolution data to accurately calculate ne...

Estuaries function as sinks for microplastics due to their proximity to urban areas and pollution sources. Because of the great availability of plastic debris in these areas, these pollutants can be accumulated in biota ...

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...

The growing global demand for meat and particularly in countries such as Brazil is expected to increase intensive animal production. Consequently the main pollutants of interest are nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and green...

The effect of urban trees as a noise mitigating element was determined on Alameda Avenue in the city of Talca, Chile, a Mediterranean continental area. Maximum and minimum noise, especially generated from vehicles, was r...

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...

The cyclic variance of PM10 mass concentration in the urban area in the South-East of Romania has been analysed in the article. SE of Romania is considered to be a territory which has medium level of pollution for a peri...

Surface water is the main source of water in Mosul city. Wastes including liquid and solid is finally reach the surface waters like rivers. As the length of the river increases, the utilization of the river water increas...

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...

Atmospheric arsenic species adsorbed on pollen samples were extracted and determined by liquid chromatography coupled to inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LC-ICP- MS). The optimised extraction method required...

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...

Ecotoxicology is the study of the effects and fate of contaminant substances on ecosystems. It aims to determine if there is an ecological risk by comparing the concentration that produces toxic effects with the environm...

Mercury and Lead concentrations obtained by ICP-OAS analysis of human hair from riverside communities along the Orinoco river in the Amazon state (Venezuela) were compared with those from Caracas, Venezuela. Taking into ...

Se denomina imposex a la aparición de caracteres sexuales secundarios en hembras de neogasterópodos producidos por laexposición a tributil-estaño (TBT). No existen hasta la fecha reportes de este fenómeno en el Cari...

Coastal regions are sectors where human activities impact the marine ecosystem, and if necessary control measures are not taken, they can generate negative consequences for health and ecosystem services. Within the frame...

This study address for the first time in Argentina and the South American continent the effect of water management on the presence of microplastics (MPs) in a shallow lake, assessing their contribution to the zooplankton...

Exposure to ambient air particulate matter (PM) is associated with increased cardiorespiratory morbidity and mortality. In this context, alveolar macrophages exhibit proinflammatory and oxidative responses as a result of...

The Turkish Straits System (TSS) is a dangerous and narrow waterway extending between the Black Sea and the Aegean Sea, including the Bosphorus, the Dardanelles, and the Marmara Sea and the Gulf of Izmit. The western ban...

Secondhand smoke (SHS) contains toxicants and carcinogens that are known to cause premature death and disease. Objectively measuring SHS exposure can support and evaluate smoke-free legislations. In Latin America, the mo...

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...
