The oil that comes out of the transformer is to violate the environment after the completion of its durability. Disposal of these wastes in to an open land leads to environmental hazards. This research work intends to capitalize the feasibility of converting waste paraffin oil from electrical...
Solid Waste Management
Efficient biomedical waste management is essential for hospital hygiene and public health, particularly within the context of smart city infrastructures. This study proposes an innovative hybrid model combining a Genetic Algorithm (GA) with a Fuzzy Inference System (FIS) to enhance waste...

Fly ash, a pivotal byproduct of coal combustion in thermal power plants, has yet to be fully harnessed as an abundant resource for metallic elements resources. A comprehensive understanding of its composition is essential for the exploitation of potentially valuable metals. We research the...
Air pollution and health
Air pollution is one of the serious environmental problem that has an impact on ecosystems and human health worldwide. The prediction of air pollution can provide significant information that will permit all parties to take right initiatives. Predicting air quality is considered as a popular...
Solid Waste Management
This study investigates the effect of teak wood dust (TWD) particles on the mechanical properties and erosion wear characteristics of Luffa acutangula fiber (LAF) reinforced phenol formaldehyde (PF) composites. Test samples were prepared with 20% LAF and varying TWD content (5%, 15%, and 25%). The...
Environmental management and policy
This study aims to review the effects of microplastics (MPs) with and without adsorbed organic pollutants or heavy metals on marine animals and the associated risks. First, the sources, composition, migration, and distribution of MPs in the marine environment is presented. Second, the effects of the...
Sustainable Energy
Injector nozzle hole design is vital for enhancing sustainability by improving engine performance and reducing emissions. The study aims to investigate the impact of altering the number of nozzle holes (3, 4, and 5) on the performance of diesel, prosopis juliflora biodiesel (PJB20), and a blend of...
General
The main component of clumping cat litter is usually bentonite, which besides potassium (including K-40) contains uranium radium, and may also exhalate radon. Ten different cat litter samples, which are commercially available in Cyprus and have been imported from various countries, have been...
Water and wastewater treatment and reuse
Perfluorooctanoic acid is ubiquitous in wastewater, bioaccumulative and biotoxic, and interferes with biological wastewater treatment. Extracellular polymeric substances are important components of microbial cells. The effects of perfluorooctanoic acid (0 mg L -1, 0.1 mg L -1, 0.5 mg L -1, 1.0 mg L...
Air pollution and health
The increasing air pollution has become a serious concern as it links with health issues. Worldwide, it has caused premature deaths. The intense research is the need of time. One of the main causes of air pollution is the existence of particulate matter, i.e. the air contains a mixture of solid...
