Microplastics (MPs) are now ubiquitous in global ecosystem, therefore all biota is at risk of exposure and potential toxicity. In this study, we presented an overview information based on literature concerning to MPs the toxicity such exposure. Currently, four major routes have been identified including entanglement, contact, ingestion inhalation. Humans maybe most exposed organism because they peak food chain. Toxicology effect marine freshwater organisms classified dosage as either high...
To address environmental pollution caused by dyes and heavy metals, it is crucial to fabricate effective adsorbent material remove contaminants from the environment. In this research, a biogenic-assisted treatment was applied kaolin clay eliminate arsenic ions (As(V)) malachite green (MG) using an adsorption technique. An environmentally friendly ultrasonic method used incorporate Pterocarpus mildraedii into mesoporous structure of (PMKC) with unique flake-like morphology characterized...
Anthropogenic activities causing a transformation of the natural nitrogen and phosphorus cycle are considered as one most fundamental environmental issues. In this study, nitrate phosphate concentrations in waterbodies such Abadaba river, Agulu lake, Njaba Oguta Lake, Nike Lake located Southeast, Nigeria was determined both dry wet season by spectrophotometric technique modeled for pollution health risks assessment. Result revealed that ranged from 13.163±2.30 mg/L at to 36.173±7.22 lake...
Heavy metals and organic pollutants are ubiquitous environmental affecting the quality of soil, water air. Over past 5 decades, many strategies have been developed for remediation polluted water. Strategies involving aquatic plant use preferable to conventional methods. In this study, an attempt was made provide a brief review on recent progresses in research practical applications phytoremediation resources with following objectives: (1) discuss toxicity toxic chemicals pollution plant,...
Abstract As a cheap source of high-quality protein, healthy fats and essential nutrients, dried fish is common item in the daily diet Bangladesh populace. In this study, ten types widely consumed ( H. neherius, T. lepturu, P.chinensis, P. affinis, A. mola, microdon, I. megaloptera, C. dussumieri, L. calcarifer, G. chapra ) were analyzed for Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Cu, Zn, Se, Rb, Hg, Pb, Ni by using an Energy Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence (EDXRF) technique. The concentration studied metals was found...
The abundance, distribution and composition of marine debris ( > 5 cm) small microplastics (11 μm) from five rivers in South Eastern Nigeria was investigated. This study provided the first assessment type quantity litter Nigeria. A total 3,487 macrodebris items/m2 were counted with following distribution: plastics (59%), metal (10%), cloth (7%), paper/cardboard rubber glass/ceramics (5%), medical agro-based waste (3%), wood (2%). cleanliness river assessed clean coast index ranged "very...
Microplastics (MP) were recognized as an emergent pollution problem due to their ubiquitous nature and bioaccumulative potential. Those present in salt for consumption could represent a human exposure route through dietary uptake. The current study, conducted Bangladesh, reports microplastics contamination coarse prepared consumption. Sea samples collected from eight representative pans located the country's largest farming area, Maheshkhali Channel, along Bay of Bengal. detected all...
Microplastics (MPs), small plastic particles resulting from the degradation of larger items and primary sources such as textiles, engineered pellets, etc., have become a ubiquitous environmental pollutant. As their prevalence in natural environment grows, concerns about potential impacts on human health escalated. This review discusses current research findings presence MPs organs liver, blood, heart, placenta, breast milk, sputum, semen, testis, urine, while also exploring plausible...
The contamination of aquatic environments by microplastics (MPs) and their subsequent ingestion fish continues to be a universal ecological challenge. Although numerous studies have been conducted on the accumulation MPs fishes globally, not much work has done within major estuaries along Atlantic Coast. This study explored characterized in gills gastrointestinal tract 98 specimens 10 taxa (Sarotherodon melanotheron, Pseudotolithus senegalensis, Gobionellus occidentalis, Ethmalosa fimbriata,...
In this study, we report a green, one-step synthesis of fluorescent carbon quantum dots (PET-FCQDs) derived from polyethylene terephthalate (PET) waste using an environmentally friendly pyrolytic method. The PET-FCQDs were systematically characterized techniques such as UV-Vis spectroscopy, fluorescence ATR-FTIR, TGA, and microscope, confirming their nanoscale size (2–50 nm), rich functional groups thermal stability. Thermal stability dynamics evaluated by the Coats–Redfern method showed...
The pollution indices of microplastic content in bottled water from South Eastern Nigeria were evaluated. Microplastic contamination factors, load and risk index, polymer estimated daily intake for adults children determined. concentrations, types shapes assessed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) – energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). From documented literature, this is the first study on microplastics Africa. found 92% samples. four polyethylene (PE), polyvinyl chloride (PVC),...
Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) microplastics (MPs) removal is one of the main technical measures in these emerging pollutant control MPs can sorb PFAS acting as carriers. In order to explore sorption process polyethylene (PE MPs) for different PFAS, Grand Canonical Monte Carlo molecular dynamics simulation was used. Seven commonly found compounds including PFNA (Perfluorononanoic acid), PFHxS (Perfluorohexanesulphonic PFHxA (Perfluorohexanoic PFDA (Perfluorodecanoic PFOS...
