The over-use of chlorine-based disinfectants and antibiotics decreases the effectiveness of sewage treatment, causing dominance of Pseudomonas in hospital sewage treatment plants. This study investigated bacterial species, abundance, and distribution in anaerobic sludge under different spatial...

The primary issue related to applications of smart cities is Solid Waste Management (SWM), which may be harmful to public health and the environment. Management of waste includes the disposal of trash through recycling and landfilling. SWM is a significant and challenging issue for ecosystems...

Ecological compensation of the Chinese coal resource-depleted cities (CRDC) aims to improve its ecological and environmental management capabilities after coal mining damage. Based on data on land-use changes in the CRDC from 2000 to 2020 (2000, 2010, 2020), this study used the equivalent factor...

Based on micro-panel data from Sichuan Province and Jiangsu Province collected in 2022 and 2023, multiple linear regression models are used to explore the impact of different industrial organization models on the green transformation of pig farming. The study found that the participation of pig...

Heavy metals like Pb, Cd, As, and Ni are becoming major environmental pollutants affecting crop productivity. The current study focused on the integration of biochar, compost, and Pb-tolerant Bacillus sp. (N18) to mitigate the hazardous impacts of Pb and improve maize growth under normal and Pb...

Efficient biomedical waste management is essential for hospital hygiene and public health, particularly within the context of smart city infrastructures. This study proposes an innovative hybrid model combining a Genetic Algorithm (GA) with a Fuzzy Inference System (FIS) to enhance waste...

The main component of clumping cat litter is usually bentonite, which besides potassium (including K-40) contains uranium radium, and may also exhalate radon. Ten different cat litter samples, which are commercially available in Cyprus and have been imported from various countries, have been...

Biomedical waste management is critical for maintaining hospital cleanliness and hygiene, pivotal for public health. It introduces a novel approach utilizing a hybrid genetic algorithm GA–fuzzy inference system FIS for smart city waste management. By integrating a dynamic fuzzy inference engine, the...

Pakistan's agricultural soils exhibit a high tendency for leaching, low quantities of organic matter, and minimal microbial activity. The situation is aggravated by human activities such as bush burning, mining, sand extraction, and ongoing conventional methods of farming. These methods, together...

The supercritical fluid (SCF) method is recognized as an environmentally friendly and efficient technology for the degradation of brominated flame retardants (BFRs) in waste circuit boards (WCBs). This study provides a detailed exploration of the SCF definition, the principles of debromination, and...

The consumption of plastic products has led to the generation of large amounts of plastic waste, which is persistent and difficult to degrade. Polystyrene (PS) is one of the six most important plastics in the world and is difficult to degrade in the environment owing to its high stability. To...

This study focuses on the impact of solid waste on groundwater quality in the region of Ramayanpatti, Tirunelveli. Tirunelveli city generates 100 tonnes of solid waste in a day. Solid waste has organic matter, inorganic matter, and moisture content which leaches dissolved organic matter, and heavy...

With the increasing importance of green development, bio-waste classification has become an important element of green development. However, in garbage stacking scenarios, the task of segmenting highly overlapping objects is difficult because the bottom garbage is in an occluded state and it is...

In India, biomedical waste (BMW) management is governed by strict regulations to mitigate health and environmental risks. It includes materials such as sharps, infectious wastes, pharmaceuticals, and non-hazardous items contaminated with potentially infectious substances. Proper management and...

Mangrove ecosystem contamination, especially in the Red Sea region, has caused major concerns on a worldwide scale. The heavy metal accumulation typical of a mangrove species, Avicenna marina L. ( A. marina ) leaves and soluble salts in sediments have not been studied on the Red Sea coast of Sudan...

The development and layout of rural tourism resources is the core issue supporting the development and planning of tourism destinations. Currently, it mainly relies on the experience and judgment of planners, with strong subjectivity and lack of objective information technology support. Therefore...

The present study obtained the Bio Earth sample from six locations, represented as LS-(1-6). The collected bio earth sample was blended with an adult earthworm ( Eisenia fetida). The experimental investigation was conducted for 108 days, and earthworms showed maximum biomass and population...
