Agricultural intensification in Eastern Africa has raised concerns about the transport of pesticides and nutrients from farmland into surface waters, posing risks to ecosystems and human health. This study systematically reviews the peer-reviewed lit...
Background: Human exposure to environmental endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) rarely occurs in isolation, yet most epidemiological research has assessed chemicals individually. PFASs, toxic metals, phthalates, and VOCs are ubiquitous contaminants...
The gut microbiota of fish plays a crucial role in nutrition, metabolism and immune regulation, and is highly sensitive to environmental stressors such as pesticide exposure. This study investigated the effects of emamectin benzoate (EMB) exposure on...
Microplastics (MPs) adsorb hazardous substances and are ingested by a wide range of organisms; therefore, indicators for managing their environmental concentrations are needed. Ideally, threshold values should be based on health impacts. However, the...
This article presents a systematic review of land-based marine pollution in the Southern African Development Community (SADC), focusing on the river–sea interface. Using the PRISMA protocol, 30 articles published between 2015 and 2025 were sele...
This study aims to investigate the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and environmental footprint of BOCOM Petroleum, a mid-sized downstream oil company operating in Douala, Cameroon. In response to the critical need for empirical data on industrial emis...
Open environmental monitoring datasets are increasingly used in water-pollution research because they provide broad spatial and temporal coverage and support reproducible large-scale analyses. However, their interpretation may depend strongly on prep...

Based on data from the literature in the Web of Science (WOS) and Scopus databases, this study collected 325 articles published between 2020 and 2025. Using Citespace software (version 6.4) to analyze publication volume, countries, institutions, disc...
Microplastic (MP) contamination has become a global environmental and public health concern due to the extensive use of plastics and ineffective waste management. These microscopic particles are now detected in air, water, soil, and food products, ra...
Morocco’s recent legalization of industrial and medicinal cannabis has created a rapidly expanding seed-oil sector whose sustainability has yet to be fully assessed. This study applies an environmental life cycle assessment (LCA) in accordance...
Nanoplastics (NPs, <100 nm) have emerged as nano-scale contaminants with superior mobility and biological barrier-crossing capacity, yet risk assessment fails due to unstandardized analytical methods and a lack of realistic exposure data. This per...
Micro- and nano-plastic pollution caused by the mismanagement of plastics waste is a significant problem worldwide, causing severe impacts in aquatic and terrestrial environments. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the adsorption capacity of a...
