Heavy metal contamination of soil, aqueous waste stream and ground water causes major environmental human health problems. metals are pollutants when they present in high concentration soil show potential toxic effects on growth development plants. Due to unabated, indiscriminate uncontrolled discharge hazardous chemicals including heavy into the environment, plant continuously have face various constraints. In plants, seed germination is first exchange interface with surrounding medium has...
Escalating usage of non-degradable plastics is raising significant concern. The search for bio-based degradable alternatives commenced far back, and the burgeoning progress in development bioplastics featured as a critical solution to ongoing plastic pollution. Bioplastics are becoming promising substitute petroleum-based plastics, depending on production source post-use disposal management. Among all materials, microbially produced polyester polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) belong...
Concerns of a critical nature have arisen in recent times regarding environmental challenges associated with phosphate and the depletion resources by eutrophication. Recently, there has been research on geopolymer as environmentally friendly cost-effective adsorbent, specifically targeting removal various pollutants wastewater treatment. This investigation mainly focuses solving employing Geopolymer Fly Ash (GPFA) an adsorbent. GPFA was characterized using FESEM, EDX, FTIR Zeta Potential....
Urbanization and industrialization have caused a ubiquity of microplastics in the environmental system. An effective elimination technique is required for from industrial effluent other wastewater systems due to its growing threats ecosystem human health. The present study endeavors evaluate potential membrane bioreactor (MBR) removal paper recycling industry effluent. effectiveness MBR system was evaluated relative conventional method used treatment. consists 148 pieces/L microplastics....
The removal of pollutants from water bodies has emerged as a pressing global concern. Discharging untreated wastewater into the environment poses significant threat due to presence hazardous substances like nitrate and phosphate, contributing widespread issue eutrophication. This study focused on investigating adsorption phosphate synthetic solution using fly ash, an industrial by-product. To enhance efficiency coal acid treatment was employed. Batch experiments were conducted examine...
Zinc is an essential trace element, necessary for plants, animals, and microorganisms. Zn required many enzymes as a catalytic cofactor, photosynthetic CO2 fixation, in maintaining the integrity of bio-membranes. However, potentially toxic when accumulated beyond cellular needs. Phytoextraction technique, which part phytoremediation, has opened new avenues remediation Zn-contaminated places. Hyperaccumulators like Thlaspi caerulescens Arabidopsis halleri have been identified, can accumulate...
The present work is aimed to analyze aerosols optical properties and estimate aerosol radiative forcing (ARF) from January December 2013, using sky radiometer data over Rohtak, an urban site in North-Western India. results reveal strong wavelength dependency of depth (AOD), with high values AOD at shorter wavelengths lower longer during the study period. highest 1.07 ± 0.45 500 nm were observed July. A significant decline Ångström exponent was April-May, which represents dominance coarse...
Heavy-metal pollution has been and continues to be significantly influenced by excessive Cr(VI) emissions; recently, there a lot of interest in the emergence low-cost, secure, effective technology for removing Chromium from wastewater. Fly ash used present study Hexavalent chromium adsorption. Characterized their elemental composition, functional groups, surface morphology, impacting aspects adsorbent were explored. In this study, adsorption parameters optimized prediction models...
The present work revolves around the comparative analysis of aerosol optical properties in a mega city, Delhi and nearby urban area, Rohtak. It is pertinent to note that despite close proximity similar meteorological conditions, two study locations show significant differences characteristics. conducted using ground based Sky-radiometer measurements for period one year. mean annual Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD) at 500 nm over Rohtak observed be 1.01 0.73 respectively, with correlation...
The global spread of Covid-19 brought a dramatic decrease in vehicular activities, industrial activities and tourism for limited period time during the lockdown phase (Year 2020). variations ambient air quality were studied Maharshi Dayanand University, Rohtak city (Haryana state, India) pollutants data gathered from Haryana State Pollution Control Board (HSPCB). study was conducted 186 days three periods; first pre-lockdown, second third post-lockdown (62 each). results showed significantly...
