Recently, there has been increasing interest in organic carbon (OC) certification of soil as an incentive for farmers to adopt sustainable agricultural practices. In this context, this pilot project combines geochemical and geophysical methods to map...

This study explores biochar (BC) derived from date palm seeds as a high-performance adsorbent for the removal of trichloroethylene (TCE) and tetrachloroethylene (PCE) from aqueous solutions, with comparative analysis against commercial activated carb...

Anesthetic gases enter the environment primarily through patient exhalation and venting from scavenging systems directly into the atmosphere. Emissions of halogenated anesthetic gases like halothane, isoflurane and sevoflurane are of concern due to t...

This study investigated the potential of biogenic ZnO nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) to alleviate cadmium (Cd) toxicity in durum wheat plants exposed for 14 days to 25 μM CdSO4. By applying ZnO-NPs at two different concentrations (25 and 50 mg L&m...

The priority during an emergency, regardless of the type, is to rescue as many lives as possible. Field hospitals are usually installed to provide the primary relief to the affected population when hospitals are compromised or absent. There are sever...

Limestone has always been widely used in various sectors, thus having significant economic and environmental impacts. The quarrying process is, on the one hand, essential, but on the other, harmful to the environment and people’s health, theref...

Unlike many other fungicides, strobilurins are applied several times during the growing season for prophylactic purposes, thus heightening the risk of environmental contamination. In the EU, the dimoxystrobin approval period lasted for 17 years. It h...

This study assessed environmental metal and metalloids (TE) levels using hair of Apodemus sylvaticus as a non-lethal biomonitor. TE decreased as follows: Zn > Al > Fe > Cu > Pb > Cr > Ni > Mn > Cd > Se > As > Hg; TE w...

Telomere length (TL) predicts the onset of replicative senescence, and its shortening is a limiter on the number of divisions individual somatic cells can perform. Metal-induced genotoxic events are discussed in Agency for Toxic Substances and Diseas...
