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...
Water and wastewater treatment and reuse
The increasing problem of underwater trash and its detrimental impact on marine ecosystems necessitates effective detection and mitigation strategies. This work presents an approach for underwater trash detection by integrating the YOLOv7 deep learning model with a Flask web application. The...
Water and wastewater treatment and reuse
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...
Solid Waste Management
The primary goal of the research was to determine how recycled plastic fiber's shape affected the functionality of mortar made from naturally occurring limestone residue. The identical length (20 ± 2 mm) and diameter (0.45 ± 0.07 mm) of two types of recycled fibers, straight and crimped, were...
Water and wastewater treatment and reuse
This study utilizes the Time-Varying Parameter Vector Auto-Regression (TVP-VAR) Connectedness model and wavelet coherence analysis to investigate, for the first time, the dynamic connection between China's carbon market and high-tech industry. The results show an overall market Connectedness index...
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...
Water and wastewater treatment and reuse
The over-use of chlorine-based disinfectants and antibiotics decreases the effectiveness of sewage treatment, causing dominance of Pseudomonas in hospital sewage treatment plants. This study investigated bacterial species, abundance, and distribution in anaerobic sludge under different spatial...
Water and wastewater treatment and reuse
The synthesis of NaY molecular sieve from coal gangue and its adsorption properties for malachite green were studied. The process adopts high-temperature sintering hydrothermal method, which not only improves the utilization rate of coal gangue, but also analyzes the key parameters affecting the...
Environmental management and policy
Marine pollution introduces harmful substances into the ocean, affecting ecosystems, marine life, coastal communities, and the global economy. Classifying these pollutants is essential for identifying their sources and assessing their ecological impact. Computer vision techniques are used to...
Hydrology and Water Resources Management
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...
