Study on the Degradation of Brominated Flame Retardants in Waste Circuit Boards Using a Supercritical Fluid Method: Methodology, Influencing Factors, and Optimal Fluid Type

by Qin Y. Zhang J. Tian X. Tu Y. Chen C.

Innovative environmental solutions

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...

Environmental Impact Assessment of Solid Waste Disposal on Groundwater Quality

by Shanmuga Sundaram I.K. Jeykumar R. Chandran S. Krishnamoorthy A.

Water Quality

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...

LC MS/MS Phytochemical analysis of Ruta montana and the Hepatic Preventive Effects in male Rats exposed to Tebuconazole

by Aouzal B. Slimani S. Kamah F. Ounissi I. Bouacha A. Samira E.

Environmental Health

In this investigation, we assessed the phytochemical composition and hepatoprotective properties of Ruta montana , a plant indigenous to Algeria, against liver damage provoked by the systemic fungicide tebuconazole in male Wistar rats. We distributed forty-two rats, each weighing an average of 178...

Review of Remote Sensing, GIS and Soft Computing Tool for Predicting the Land-use and Environment Changes

by Kalphana K. Ramela K. Aanjankumar S. Nagalakshmi T. Sakthivel B.

Innovative environmental solutions

The land use and land cover patterns of a specific area determine the socio-economic development of that region and vice versa. The increase in population due to urbanization creates a demand for novel approaches in addressing the fundamental aspects of human well-being. Remote sensing, geographic...

Integrated Early Flood Prediction using Sentinel-2 Imagery with VANET-MARL-based Deep Neural RNN

by Babu T. Raveena S. Tamilvizhi T. Surendran R.

Floods, Droughts and Water scarcity

Floods are a major contributor to the destruction of infrastructure and the overall economy of afflicted countries, leading to loss of life and significant damage. Remote sensing, satellite imagery photography, global positioning system, and geographic information system (GIS) are commonly used to...
