Microplastics presence in the environment is now a major global issue. Personal care and cosmetic products (PCCPs) contain microbeads are one of primary sources microplastics which contribute to health ecological risks. The aim this study was evaluate widely used PCCPs (facial scrubs) Indian market extent these can serve as vectors for toxic compounds like chromium under different environmental conditions. Four ten facial scrubs contained size ranging from 220 600 µm. Based on FTIR analyses,...
Microplastics can act as carriers for several organic pollutants like poly aromatic hydrocarbons, pesticides, polychlorinated biphenyls, and other persistent pharmaceutical pollutants. It is important to be noted that pharmaceuticals are bio-active substances, structurally modified induce pharmacological changes in living organisms. These pose a threat the ecosystem organisms it when not treated effectively. Antibiotic residues may enter aquatic environment through effluents from sewage...
Microbeads in personal care and cosmetic products (PCCPs) such as facial scrubs face washes are added to provide mechanical exfoliation while washing one’s face. Such abrasive scrub cleansers have gained global acceptance from consumers, some of these microbeads made up plastics. Plastic beads used because their round smooth surfaces, which impart painless exfoliation. These turn act a primary source microplastics (MP) wastewater systems. Ten facewashes containing MP that popularly...
Personal care and cosmetic products (PCCPs) containing microbeads are a major source of secondary microplastics in the environment, which has become global conservation problem. This study examines prevalence form popularly available PPCP (facial scrubs) Indian market elucidates how it can potentially act as vector for toxic chromium environment. The size from 220 to 600 µm were prevalent 4 out 10 facial scrubs brands examined. Furthermore, FTIR analysis showed that these mainly made...
Flemingia semialata is an established host plant of lac insects and widely grown to promote cultivation in India. One the most destructive pests that can cause significant yield loss many crops a sap sucking whitefly, Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae), which also found infest sp. They vast damage plants during feeding by reducing rate photosynthesis through excretion honeydew transmitting large number pathogenic viruses. Although there are several methods control whitefly...
