Long-term exposure to urban dust containing potentially toxic elements (PTEs) poses detrimental impacts on human health. However, studies estimating health risks in dusts from a global perspective are scarce. We evaluated data for twelve PTEs across 59 countries 463 published articles, including their concentrations, input sources, and probabilistic found that 34.1 60.3% of those investigated have been heavily contaminated with As Cd, respectively. The was significantly correlated economic structure due emissions industrial activities traffic being the major sources. Based Monte Carlo simulation, we mean hazard index below safe threshold (1.0) could still cause non-negligible Arsenic Cr were threatening health, relatively high risk levels observed cities China, Korea, Chile, Malaysia, Australia. Importantly, our analysis suggested threaten approximately 92 million adults 280 children worldwide. Overall, study provides important foundational understanding guidance policy decision-making reduce potential associated PTE promote sustainable development economies.

Poor indoor air quality is responsible for around 3.2 million premature deaths each year. Accurately identifying pollution (IAP) sources a quintessential step towards mitigating pollutants and associated health risks. Traditionally, receptor models have been used however, recently, new source identification methods risen, which use real-time continuous monitoring data. In this review, the state-of-art in mitigation trends using IAP are critically analysed. Thirty-two research articles were reviewed with emphasis on along monitoring: environments monitored, pollutants, methods, found. Receptor factor analysis still most prevalent method. Meanwhile, of has rapidly increasing. Even low-cost sensors (LCS) started to be sources. This review proposes method implementing identification. It also hypothesises novel hybrid approach both traditional samplers can simultaneously preventive as well reactive measures. The LCS supplement proposed, owing their ubiquity. However, technologies need advance further assure reliability.

Humans are continuously exposed to various heavy metals including copper, iron, cadmium, and arsenic, which were specifically selected for the current analysis because they among most frequently encountered environmental mankind industrial pollutants potentially causing human health hazards liver injury.

Siderophores are small molecules of organic nature, released by bacteria to chelate iron from the surrounding environment and subsequently incorporate it into cytoplasm. In addition iron, these secondary metabolites can complex with a wide variety metals, which is why they commonly studied in environment. Heavy metals be very toxic when present large amounts on planet, affecting public health all living organisms. The pollution caused increasing, therefore urgent find practical, sustainable, economical solutions for remediation. One strategies siderophore-assisted bioremediation, an innovative advantageous alternative various environmental applications. This research highlights uses siderophores metallophores environment, underscoring their significance ecosystems. study delves utilization both marine terrestrial settings (e.g. biocontrol pathogens, plant growth promotion), such as promotion, providing context different instances outlined existing literature highlighting relevance each field. structures types focusing singular characteristics application methodologies used.

Abstract Urban street dust (UStD) is a vital issue for human health and crucial urban sustainability. This study aims to enhance the creation of safe, affordable, resilient cities by examining environmental contamination risks in residential areas. Specifically, it investigates concentrations spatial distribution chromium (Cr), cadmium (Cd), nickel (Ni), copper (Cu), lead (Pb), zinc (Zn) UStD Yenimahalle, Ankara. The mean Zn, Cr, Pb, Cd, Ni, Cu were 97.98, 66.88, 55.22, 52.45, 38.37, 3.81 mg/kg, respectively. geoaccumulation pollution index (Igeo) values these elements were: Cd (5.12), Ni (1.61), Cr (1.21), Pb (1.13), (0.78), Zn (0.24). These indices indicate that area moderately polluted with uncontaminated contaminated extremely Cd. hazard (HI) Cu, below non-carcinogenic risk threshold adults, indicating no significant risk.
