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)...
Sustainable Energy
The intensifying environmental and energy-related issues have led to a significant surge in the need for discovering alternative fuel sources. Additionally, the labor and time involved in identifying the appropriate fuel for the engine being examined is considerable. In order to mitigate this...
Water and wastewater treatment and reuse
The complex composition of persistent and resistant contaminants in oil refinery wastewater presents a significant environmental challenge that conventional treatment methods frequently fail to effectively address. Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOPs), specifically the photo-Fenton method, and a deep...

The carbon abatement effects of digital finance (DF) have been widely studied, but existing studies have neglected its impact on the marginal carbon abatement cost (CMAC). The paper uses the SBM model to measure the CMAC of 264 cities in China for 2011-2021 and then constructs a two-way fixed...
Air pollution and health
The purpose of this study is to anticipate and investigate the groundwater quality in the regions of the Cauvery basin. In the post-monsoon season of 2020, 800 samples were collected from 200 different places for this paper. The AlexNet model is used in this book to forecast the water quality. In...
Solid Waste Management
Population growth, industrialization and technological advances have significantly increased waste production, waste collection, transportation and disposal induced significant costs. Waste could be considered a resource that allows nations to reduce the consumption of primary raw materials, protect...
Solid Waste Management
The Coordinated management of solid waste dumps from different anthropogenic environments is important for pollution management of immediate and adjacent ecosystems. This study took three soil profile samples from three functional zones: the rural, the suburban, and the urban solid waste dumps. The...
Air pollution and health
Environmental protection and the need for accurate pollutant forecasting have become increasingly important as worries about environmental issues and the harmful effects of pollution have grown. Predictive accuracy of air pollutants is generally unsatisfactory due to the fact that conventional...
Climate change
Temperature dynamics is a widely recognized indicator of the global warming phenomenon. Changes in temperature patterns in Bhubaneswar, India, were assessed by examining the monthly minimum and maximum temperature data for 60 years (1956–2015) sourced from the Indian Meteorological Department...
Environmental data analysis and modelling
Air pollution in coastal areas will have a different pattern from mountainous areas due to different wind patterns during the day and night. The city of Semarang, as a representation of urban areas, and Jepara Regency, as a representation of the rural regions, were chosen for this sampling. 24-h...

This study aimed to evaluate the pollution level of Ni, Pb, Cd, V, and Hg in the sediments of Musa Estuary and its four main tributaries namely Majidieh, Zangi, Semaili, and Merimos (collectively known as Mahshahr estuaries) in summer and winter 2019 using sediment quality indices. In each tributary...
Air pollution and health
The growing Urbanization, Industrialization, Institutional, and IT sector development contribute to the exponential growth of motorized road transportation increasing the composition of harmful gaseous pollutants in ambient air. So, it is necessary to analyze and quantify the concentration of...
Solid Waste Management
This study was carried out with the aim of using three processes of soil washing, electrofenton and biological leaching method in order to rehabilitate the soil contaminated with lead and phenanthrene around the south Tehran oil refinery. The variables examined in this study are the amount of soil...

The research work's main objective is to correctly examine and find out the proper hydro-geochemistry of groundwater during the dry and wet seasons and hence evaluate it’s quality in India, Tamil Nadu state's Thirukkazhukundram Block. Data from two seasons-the "Pre-monsoon" in August 2016 and the...
Solid Waste Management
The amount and type of waste are increasing due to population growth. Many harmful materials have been in the atmosphere for a very long times. This causes a crisis in the waste disposal and thereby contributes to environmental issues. Recycling concrete manufacturing waste materials not only offers...
Sustainable Energy
The production of biofuels in several nations has increased dramatically in recent decades. Their characterization necessitates the use of distinct assessment methods. A commercial diesel specimen is compared to the properties of the biodiesel using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, linear...
Water and wastewater treatment and reuse
Owing to increased population, the ground water pollution and disposal of solid waste from the domestic, commercial and the industrial sources has become higher. Mainly, leachate from sanitary landfills increase the ground water pollution and disposal of solid wastes may produce the emission of...
Air pollution and health
Toxicity poses a significant threat to the environment and human health. Heavy metals, such as cadmium, lead, copper, and zinc, have been shown to harm both agricultural ecosystems and human health. This paper aims to examine the effects of these heavy metals on the environment and human health, as...
Hydrology and Water Resources Management
The increasing industrialization and urbanization in recent times has led to a significant increase in heavy metal pollution in soil and sediment. The present study aims to evaluate the heavy metal contamination (HmC) in surface sediments collected from the Kosasthalaiyar River located between...
Air pollution and health
Rapid urbanisation, industrialization, and population growth have fostered an urgent need for a green, clean-living environment. Among the many pollutants, gaseous pollutants like NO2, SO2, and particle pollutants like PM 2.5 and PM 10 have a profound negative impact on human health. In this...
Air pollution and health
The level of air pollution increased in urban areas due to local atmospheric conditions and dispersion of various air pollutants. In this study, the air quality index was carried out in four places in the urban zone and investigated the seasonal variation of PM2.5, PM10, SO2, NO2, and O3 over one...
