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...

Abstract A promising approach for constructing visible-light-responsive photocatalysts with superior activity is realized through the surface grafting of wide-band-gap semiconductors with earth-abundant elements. Consequ...

Abstract Egypt’s New Delta Project, one of the country’s largest land reclamation initiatives, aims to boost agricultural production, support population growth, and strengthen food and water security. However, large-...

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 Cadmium (Cd) is a pervasive environmental pollutant known for its detrimental effects on male reproductive health, causing testicular damage, hormonal imbalances, and reduced fertility. This study investigates t...

The rapid urban-induced Land Use and Land Cover (LULC) changes threaten river health, necessitating the identification of key drivers. It becomes essential to conduct a comprehensive assessment of anthropogenic changes t...

Sulfur dioxide (SO2) is a major atmospheric pollutant in China, and understanding its spatiotemporal dynamics is essential for effective air quality management. Using hourly SO2 data from more than 2000 urban monitoring ...

The aim of this research is to propose a performance evaluation system to rank the efficiency of fruit and vegetables (FV) distribution routes based on selected criteria related to logistic, distribution practices and ph...

Surface water bodies receive a basin's wide diversity of pollutants, especially when there are mixed land uses. Among the many environmental tools to assess a body water quality, most studies use only a few. In addition ...

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...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the quality of wastewater running through Al-Kharrazie, a seasonal rain water valley in Mosul city which considered now as a sewerage channel discharging their influents into Tig...

DCM is classified among the most hazardous atmospheric pollutants and therefore, the development of safe methods for the disposal of residual DCM is of great importance. Activated carbon- supported catalysts containing p...

Abstract Microplastics (MPs) represent a significant environmental pollutant and have raised considerable concern due to their tendency to accumulate in animals, plants, and humans, thereby posing potential health risks....

Produced water, generated as a byproduct of oil and gas extraction, is a complex mixture characterized by high salinity and the presence of hydrocarbons, heavy metals, salts, and production-related chemicals. Its large v...

The co-production of bio-char and upgraded bio-oil by fast pyrolysis of raw and sulfuric-acid pretreated agro-industrial wastes (corn cob, sugarcane bagasse and sunfower seed hull) was investigated to valorize wastes as ...

The effects of air pollution on all people across the globe cannot be overemphasized. It is a phenomenon that needs urgent attention from all countries of the world. Serious efforts must be made to cut down the greenhous...

The sensitivity of harpacticoid copepods was tested against selected pollutants. Acute toxicity tests were carried out for five hyporheic species exposed to pesticides, ammonia, and metals. The stygoxene Bryocamptus zsch...

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...

Abstract Growing environmental problems and the threat of an energy crisis have created an urgent need for affordable and efficient photocatalysts that can work under UV light to remove pollutants. In this work, Zinc fer...

Many cities have promoted decarbonized transportation modes to mitigate climate change, reduce air pollution and promote healthy behaviors. However, cyclists may be particularlyexposed to higher concentrations of on-road...

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

Abstract Since the mid of 1990th, Mosul city over all Iraq cities, is used widely the local power diesel generators. The generators exhaust emits a large amounts of hydrocarbon gases, including, of course, carbon dioxide...

Abstract Tenebrio molitor larvae, as known as edible insects, has advantages of being rich in protein, and has been recognized as a suitable alternate protein source for broiler and pig feed. Moreover, given their abilit...

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...
