Environmental management and policy
The Kanyakumari District was selected as a study area due to its diverse flora and favorable climate and soil conditions. Various remote sensing parameters were derived from Landsat 8 and 9 satellite data, including NDVI, BSI, NDMI, NDWI, and SAVI. Moreover, data on land use and land cover (LULC)...
Solid Waste Management
The increase in municipal solid waste (MSW) in northwest China has been substantial, with a significant portion primarily treated in landfills. This rapid growth in waste generation presents considerable challenges for landfill management and treatment. The factors affecting MSW degradation are...
Solid Waste Management
Soil zinc (Zn) deficiency is a major constraint limiting wheat productivity and nutritional quality, particularly in degraded agricultural lands. Sustainable organic waste management through composting presents an eco-friendly approach to enhancing soil health while mitigating environmental...
Hydrology and Water Resources Management
Floods are among the most catastrophic natural disasters because they endanger both lives and assets. The current investigation intends to create a mesoscale state wide flood risk mapping for the district of Chennai in Tamil Nadu, India, utilizing drone data and a GIS-MCDA model. The Chennai...
Water and wastewater treatment and reuse
Azo dyes and the byproducts of their degradation have the potential to pollute the environment. Natural water bodies experience less sunlight penetration as a result of these effluents being released into rivers and lakes. Because of their hue, the dyes pollute flowers and the aesthetics because...
Water and wastewater treatment and reuse
An acyclic dinuclear metal complex with O4 donor coordination site was prepared and isolated. A polymethacrylate anchored coordination compound turned out to be designed by the combination of azo compound derived from 3-formyl salicylic acid and diazonium salt of 4-aminophenol with methacryloyl...
Water and wastewater treatment and reuse
Cellulosic sludge discharged from the pharmaceutical production industry possesses heterogeneous and complex physicochemical and biological properties. The disposal of non-recyclable pharmaceutical sludge, particularly concerning leachate, continues to negatively impact storage and landfill sites...
Climate change
The standing plant biomass that remains after harvesting bananas is the Above Ground Biomass (AGB); these residues have great carbon sequestration (CS) potential. This study quantifies the AGB yield of the Poovan (Musa acuminata) plant in semi-arid Tamil Nadu, India through novel modified non...
Climate change
Flooding in coastal regions of smart cities poses significant challenges, including infrastructure damage, economic losses, and threats to public safety. Traditional flood prediction models often suffer from data privacy concerns, limited spatial-temporal generalisation, and computational...
Air pollution and health
The present study aims to assess the impact of physicochemical parameters on the availability of trace metal elements (TME) in soil by analyzing the accumulation of copper (Cu), zinc (Zn) and sulfates in both soil and edible tissues of Cornu aspersum using a passive biomonitoring approach at three...
