Air pollution and health

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...

Conversion of Pruning Waste into Biochar-based Organomineral Fertilizer to Improve Maize Yield and Phosphorus Use Efficiency

by Ahmad S. Ali A. Ahmed W. Ali M. Athar M. Ismail A. Alhajhoj M. Alturki S. Darrag H. Al-Khayri J.

Solid Waste Management

Open burning and dumping of pruning waste into landfills is detrimental for environmental quality. This study was planned to convert pruning waste into biochar-based organomineral phosphatic fertilizer (BOMPF). A BOMPF with 20% P2O5 was prepared by enrichment of diammonium phosphate (DAP) in biochar...

Hazardous Substances and Risk Analysis

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...

Bioremediation Potential of Biochar, Compost and Bacillus sp. N18 for lead Contaminated Soil and Improving Physiological and Morphological Attributes of Maize

by Hussain A. Ali W. Anwar H. Dar A. Ismail A.M. El-Mogy M. Ramadan K. Al-Khayri J.

Environmental management and policy

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...
