Ubiquitous fine particulates can readily be bound to toxic metals and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are considered a great threat human health. The purpose of this study was assess the magnitude air pollution risks public health by determining four crucial parameters- inhalable particulates, in PAHs which associated with PM10 environment Lucknow, India during 2007–09. values PM2.5 ranged between 102.3–240.5 28.0–196.9 μg/m3 whilst average 1.7 times 1.5 higher than their respective NAAQS...

In the current study, an effort was made to assess geochemistry of groundwater by random collection samples from 15 different borewells located in various parts Varanasi City, Uttar Pradesh, India. Geology study region is dominated Quaternary alluvial sediments Pleistocene recent times where younger alluvium receives fresh deposits silt, clay and loam periodic flood events. Ca–Mg–HCO3was inferred as major hydrogeochemical facies Piper trilinear diagram. Ca–Mg type HCO3− were dominating...

Objective: The current study was attempted to develop silver nanoparticles from orange peel extract designed for the management of lung cancer. Method: Silver were prepared using and forming material in an organic solvent form effective solution. formed by evaporation method. Nanoparticles are extremely small units whose size is articulated nano-meters (nm; 1 nm = 10−9 meters). Both naturally occurring artificially produced products human activity. To transport medications target region,...

An evolutionary heat shock response (HSR) protects most living species, including humans, from heat-induced macromolecular damage. However, its role in the pathogenesis of stroke is unknown. We examined whole genome transcriptome peripheral blood mononuclear cells a cohort subjects exposed to same high environmental conditions, who developed (n = 19) versus those did not 19). Patients with had mean rectal temperature at admission 41.7 ± 0.8°C, and eight were deep coma (Glasgow Coma Score 3)....

Although the association between ambient temperature and mortality in local populations is evident, this relationship remains unclear transient (e.g., due to immigration, mass gatherings, or displacement). The holy city of Mecca annually shelters two comprising its residents transitory Hajj pilgrims (>2 million people from >180 countries). Both live side by a hot desert climate, rendering development evidence-based heat-protective measures challenging.We aimed characterize...
