Heavy metal (HM) contamination of soil is a worldwide problem with adverse consequences for the environment and human health. Microorganisms, as the most active fraction in soil, play a pivotal role in assessing changes in soil quality and maintainin...

Cadmium and arsenic co-contamination found in mining actions indicates major effluence in adjacent farmland soils, disturbing the plant physiology and soil’s microbial community. Phosphorus (P) plays a vital role in reducing soil contamination...

We explored the mass concentrations of water-soluble ions in PM2.5 and their variations across different time scales and concentration levels. Using the Positive Matrix Factorization (PMF) model and backward trajectory analysis, we focused on identif...

Urban industrialization is a major driver of water pollution, particularly through emerging contaminants that pose significant health risks for humans and ecosystems. This critical review focuses on Bangladesh’s Buriganga and Dhaleshwari rivers...

Microplastic and nanoplastic (MNP) particles have been observed in various human organs. However, polypropylene (PP), one of the top three most commonly detected types of MNPs in terms of quantity, is also present in injections given for the infusion...

Hearing loss (HL) causes numerous challenges for individuals. N,N-diethyl-meta-toluamide (DEET) is a common ingredient in insect repellants and some sunscreens. M-(diethylcarbamoyl) benzoic acid (DCBA) is a DEET metabolite measured in the urine of Na...

The widespread occurrence of nano-plastics (NPs) in aquatic environments poses emerging challenges to the pollutant removal performance and ecological stability of constructed wetlands (CWs). This study investigates the performance of calcium-modifie...

Thyroid hormone (TH) system disruption by chemicals poses a significant concern due to the key role the TH system plays in essential body functions, including the metabolism, growth, and brain development. Animal-based testing methods are resource-de...

Phytoplankton serves as the primary producer in estuarine ecosystems, with its community structure and dynamics being directly influenced by the concentration and ratio of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) nutrients. This study utilized raw water from...

Background: Despite the identification of various environmental factors that increase the risk of multiple sclerosis (MS), the effects of many factors on the etiology of MS remain to be elucidated. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effects o...
