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...

Monitoring wastewater for the presence of SARS-CoV-2 proved to be a useful tool during COVID-19 pandemic and it is in place, until today, at many Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTPs) in Greece and elsewhere. Identification of virus in wastewater can be a valuable indicator for the early detection of...

Sulfamethoxazole (SMX) and copper (Cu) are common antibiotic and heavy metallic contaminants. They can be removed separately through biochar sorption method. However, the interaction between SMX and Cu remains an unresolved issue in the sorption process of biochar. In this paper, two biochar samples...

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...

The work involves the diversity and number of macro invertebrate animal using these variables as indicators of the water quality of urban streams that negatively impacts ecological health. Conventional methods often overlook these indicators that essential to understand the ecological conditions...

Since industrial and human activities have been developed in different ways in Iraq, water quality has been declining along ‎the Hilla River, the only water resource for drinking water in the Hilla City, Iraq. In this research, The Weighted Arithmetic Water Quality Index (WQI) along the river was...

In this study, various types of zeolite support (LTA, GIS-NaP1, and FAU-type Y) were coupled with CdO active sites to develop effective photocatalysts for volatile organic compounds (VOC) treatment (isopropanol as a model). Notably, both LTA-Cd and FAU-Cd samples retained the structure of the...

Bottled water is considered a safe water source and extensively consumed worldwide. However, increased health concerns about its contamination by organic pollutants and polymeric micro/nonfibrous particulates have arisen in the last few years. Therefore, this work is designed to screen the bottled...

Jordan is the world’s second water-poorest country. Treating and reusing of wastewater are significantly important at the national level. This research aims to investigate the use of natural and modified Zeolite for the removal of Methylene Blue Active Substances (MBAS) and lead (Pb), major...

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are toxic and ubiquitous in the water environment. The content of PAHs needs to be systematically and comprehensively detected to achieve the environmental quality assessment. However, due to the constraint of testing cost, detection data in the Songhua river...

To assess the efficacy of removing heavy metals such as Cu (II) and Ni (II) ions from aqueous solution, the adsorption behaviour of a nanocomposite powder comprising of reduced Graphene Oxide (rGO), bentonite clay, and ZnO was investigated. Various analytical techniques including Fourier transform...

As the groundwater pollution is increasing, it is crucial to assess groundwater quality and characterize hydrogeochemistry accurately for long term water supply. In this study groundwater samples were collected from 120 locations from Bahawalpur district and analyzed for electrical conductivity (EC)...

It is now possible to measure the biogenic amines histamine, tryptamine, putrescine, cadaverine, spermidine, spermine, and tyramine in an easy, accurate, and selective manner. Dansyl chloride was used to purify the analytes, and high-performance liquid chromatography with detection of fluorescence...
