This research aims to enhance the composition of phenolic compounds, the antioxidant and cytotoxic activities of the methanol, ethyl acetate, and n-butanol extracts produced from the leaves of Achillea ligustica, collected in the northeast of Algeria. The measure of extracts' total phenolic and...

This study presents a simple, cost-effective, and eco-friendly approach for synthesizing silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using Tabernaemontana divaricata flower extract. The formation of nanoparticles was indicated by a color transition from light yellow to yellowish brown during silver ion reduction...

The environmental quality of rivers is a comprehensive effect of the superposition of multiple sources, and distinguishing the contribution of coal mining areas to river is an important and interesting work. In order to explore the impact of heavy metal in the sediment and to distinguish the...

Hydraulic infiltration and decontamination performance of bioretention systems are influenced by plant species and planting layers. However, traditional evaluation methods are limited by their high subjectivity and inability to capture complex relationships among multidimensional data accurately...

The study was conducted to quantify Pb, Ni, Cr, Cd, Cu, and Fe in drinking water (surface and subsurface water) from Nawanshahr Town, Abbottabad, Pakistan, and to evaluate the associated threat to the health of the inhabitants. An atomic absorption spectrometer (Perkin Elmer, AAS-700) was utilized...

This study uses Taguchi analysis to assess the performance and energy efficiency of a metal scrap-incorporating single-slope solar still (SSSS). This study examines the influence of key input variables solar intensity, wind velocity and water inlet temperature on output metrics such as daily...

In this study, removal of reactive yellow 145 (RY 145) dyestuff by dry biomass of Ureolytic mixed microorganism culture (UMC), existing in domestic wastewater and various industrial wastewater, was studied. Optimum conditions of adsorption efficiency were tested. For this purpose, studies were...

The Chennai region's meteorological conditions are causing floods in many districts to occur more frequently and with greater intensity. Therefore, anticipating and planning for floods under severe weather conditions is essential for making decisions and handling impending calamities. These days...

Erythromycin (ERY) is widely used as an antibiotic, leading to its pervasive presence in the environment and potential risks to non-target species. This study investigated the under sub-lethal effects of ERY on Florida red tilapia (Oreochromis sp.) by examining changes in their hematological and...

In order to investigate the characteristics, sources and variations in the composition of dissolved organic matter (DOM) during the wet and dry seasons in Luoma Lake, UV-vis and 3D-EEMs techniques combined with PARAFAC were used to analyse the changes in DOM content and components in dry and wet...

The increasing release of textile dyes into water bodies poses a significant environmental challenge due to their toxicity and resistance to degradation. In this study, cadmium sulfide (CdS) nanoparticles (NPs) and niobium (Nb)-doped CdS at three different concentrations were synthesized using a...

A major factor in the development of modern environmental engineering is the necessity of treating water pollutants. The effective removal of metallic ions of wastewater systems, using adsorption techniques, different adsorbents have been widely utilized; among these adsorbents, polymer-based...

Hydroponic experiment was conducted to evaluate the single and combine effect of different concentration of Cd ( 80 µM, 100 µM ) and Cr (120 µM, 140 µM) on the seedlings of two wheat cultivars viz. FA-08 and SH-13 commonly grown in Hazara division of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa- Pakistan. High dose...

Monitoring water quality parameters in rivers is of critical importance for decision makers and researchers. However, difficulties such as missing data, test values exceeding certain limits and parameters that are not measured but need to be monitored are among the main problems in monitoring water...
