Land Surface Temperature (LST) affects exchange of energy between earth surface and atmosphere which is important for studying environmental changes. However, research on the relationship LST, Use Cover (LULC), Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) with topographic elements in lower Himalayan region has not been done. Therefore, present study explored LST NDVI, LULC types Pakistan. The area was divided into North-South, West-East, North-West to South-East North-East directions using...
The current waste treatment techniques in developing countries do not meet the standards of appropriate management systems. Poor leads to serious environmental issues at local and global levels, for which an effective sustainable disposal system is urgent need. Due its proven degradation biotransformation capabilities, Black Soldier Fly (BSF) provides a potential economical alternative recycling biological waste. study investigated interactions between municipal organic with help Larvae...
Abstract The escalating presence of heavy metals (HMs) in the Panjkora River water and their impact on fish pose a significant challenge to both ecological community human health. Consequently, study was conducted with primary aim elucidating influence health-related issues. To address this, concentrations metals, including arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), lead (Pb), zinc (Zn), species Crossocheilus diplocheilus were investigated across various locations within area....
Tourism activities are changing the global landscape pattern. This study attempted to estimate changes in Land Use Cover (LULC) and Surface Temperature (LST) District Buner Shangla, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK), Pakistan, specifically its tourist spots. Using remote sensing data from satellites (1990–2020) future projections (2035–2050), we applied Artificial Neural Network (ANN) Cellular Automata Markov (CA-Markov) models examine past LULC LST dynamics across two districts including four major...
Present study was intendant to assess heavy metals (HMs) concentration and associated health risk in processed fruits' products sold the local markets of North Pakistan. In total seven viz. cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), cobalt (Co), copper (Cu), iron (Fe), lead (Pb) zinc (Zn) were quantified 345 samples different brands categorized into eight groups (Sauces, Ketchup, Juices, Jams, canned fruits, tomato paste, marmalades pickles). On comparative basis, Fe dominating with highest pickles,...
Brick kilns add enormous quantities of organic pollutants to the air that can cause serious health issues, especially in developing countries; poor quality is associated with community problems, yet receives no attention Northern Pakistan. The present study, therefore, assessed chemical composition and investigated impacts pollution from brick on public health. A field-based investigation pollutants, i.e., PM1, PM2.5 PM10, CO2, CO, NO, NO2, H2S, NH3 using mobile scientific instruments was...
Abstract Human activities are altering the existing patterns of Land Use Cover (LULC) and Surface Temperature (LST) on a global scale. However, long-term trends LULC LST largely unknown in many remote mountain areas such as Karakorum. . The objective our study therefore was to evaluate historical changes land use cover an alpine environment located Islamabad Capital Territory, Pakistan. We used Landsat satellite pictures (namely 5 TM 8 OLI) from years 1988, 2002, 2016 applied Maximum...
Drinking water quality is a major problem in Pakistan, especially the Abbottabad region of Pakistan. The main objective this study was to use Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and integrated Geographic Information System (GIS)-based statistical model estimate spatial distribution exceedance levels groundwater parameters related health risks for two union councils (Mirpur Jhangi) located Abbottabad, A field survey conducted, samples were collected from 41 sites analyze parameters. data...
Contemporary human-made activities are responsible for the emission of more than 30 billion tons carbon dioxide (CO2), a greenhouse gas, into atmosphere. The current study's primary purpose is to examine key elements that contribute elevated levels release CO2 environment in Pakistan. research used Pakistan's annual data spanning from 1970 2020, along with STIRPAT (Stochastic Impact by Regression on Population, Affluence, and Technology) model. relationship between atmosphere other chosen...
Abstract Anthropogenic activities are changing the current Land use Cover (LULC) and Surface Temperature (LST) patterns worldwide. The study uses Landsat satellite images (Landsat 5 TM 8 OLI) during years 1988, 2002, 2016 in an alpine environment of Islamabad Capital Territory, Pakistan, to assess past LULC variation using Maximum Likelihood Classification (MLC) method. LST was derived from thermal bands (6, 10 11) series data. Human Modification Index (HMI) relationship with also assessed...
Academic and professional communities throughout the world have shown a great deal of interest in topic environmental or green human resource management (HRM) last decade. Despite this growing interest, there remains lack comprehensive analysis area. This study aims to fill by conducting systematic extensive review literature. The objectives paper consist three spectrums: firstly, conduct an in-depth examination literature related Green HRM studies encompassing diverse scopes, methodologies,...
The main objective of this study was to assess the quality and quantity roof-harvested rainwater overcome water shortage problem in area. We also aimed find health hazards associated with For purpose, samples were collected from five sites analyzed using standard methods World Health Organization American Public Association a laboratory. analysis showed that all physicochemical parameters within permissible limits WHO’s guidelines except pH, turbidity, some trace metals such as iron (Fe)...
Pheasants play a distinctive and significant role in high altitudinal ecosystems. These are good indicators of environmental changes, their presence determines the health balance bio-network. Recent human pressure continues to degrade populations, some pheasant species already extinct. Therefore, current study focuses on abundance emerging conservation issues. The population was assessed using “Call count methods” analyzed by DISTANCE software. results revealed that valleys where...
The aim of the present research was to investigate presence heavy metals such as lead (Pb), copper (Cu), chromium (Cr), and cadmium (Cd) in blood samples from cows raised with irrigated wastewater, well wastewater itself, North-western region Pakistan. A total 60 were collected five different locations Kohat, namely Tappi Road (TR), Pindi (PR), Gul Malik (GMR), Markaz (MR), a control group. both i.e. cow analyzed for concentrations metals. highest concentration Cd detected MR site mean value...
Extreme rainfall events are occasional, and understanding their intensity frequency is important for long-term planning public safety. The current study aims to investigate the stability of extreme precipitation in different regions Pakistan, independence uniformity occurrence. A analysis (RFA) was conducted based on information from 8 weather stations namely, distribution moments L annual maximum Pakistan were investigated; Using goodness-of-fit criteria, determined possible precipitation....
In this paper, new models were investigated and developed for landslide hazards in Muzaffarabad District, located the Azad Jammu Kashmir region of Pakistan. The influential factors used modelling land use/landcover (LULC), elevation, slope, slope aspect, rainfall, drainage, road, surface roughness, topographic index. GIS-based Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) model was applied by utilizing database 35 active landslides their pixels present classes all factors. mean hazard values, obtained...
