To mitigate the consumption of active sites on co-catalysts by H2O2 and to enhance the efficiency and stability of co-catalytic Fenton reactions, an external circulation two-stage packed-bed reactor (ECTPBR) was developed using DPW (diatomite plate@p...

Zinc is an essential trace mineral for livestock, but excessive use can contribute to ecotoxicity and antimicrobial resistance. The objective of this study was to assess the impact of different zinc oxide (ZnO) levels in diets for weaned pigs on grow...

The consumption of pharmaceuticals during the COVID-19 pandemic increased significantly. As such, over-the-counter drugs such as acetaminophen (ACT), ibuprofen (IBU), metoprolol (MET), and propranolol (PRO) were among the pharmaceuticals that were wi...

Trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) is a persistent degradation product of widely used fluorinated compounds such as hydrofluorocarbons, hydrofluoroolefins, hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) and hydrochlorofluoroolefins. Its chemical stability, water solubilit...

During rapid-onset environmental catastrophes, scientists may not always have sufficient time to conduct proper environmental surveys in all representative areas. Although coral bleaching events can be predicted to a certain extent in some areas by t...

This study investigated the spatiotemporal dynamics of four major air pollutants—carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), sulphur dioxide (SO2), and ozone (O3)—across Dhaka from 2020 to 2024 using Sentinel-5P TROPOMI satellite data....

Gaseous pollutants and aerosols resulting from anthropic activities and natural phenomena require adequate source apportionment methodologies to be fully assessed. Furthermore, it is crucial to differentiate between fresh anthropogenic emissions and...

The measurement and evaluation of the atmospheric background levels of greenhouse gases (GHGs) and aerosols are useful to determine long-term tendencies and variabilities, and pinpoint peaks attributable to anthropogenic emissions and exceptional nat...

The widespread use of pesticides in modern agriculture has significantly enhanced food production by managing pests and diseases; however, their degradation in soil can lead to unintended consequences for soil fertility and nutrient cycling. This rev...

The intensification of anthropogenic pressures, particularly those related to agriculture driven by increasing demands for food and cash crops, generates negative environmental externalities. Assessing these externalities is essential to better ident...
