Sequestration of Lead Ion in Aqueous Solution onto Chemically Pretreated Pycnanthus angolensis Seed Husk: Implications for Wastewater Treatment

Sustainability, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 15(21), P. 15446 - 15446

Published: Oct. 30, 2023

This novel study investigated and proposes the use of Pycnanthus angolensis seed husk for sequestration Pb(II) from contaminated solutions, with aim contributing to urgent need accessibility quality water, sustainable management water environment in line Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The activated was developed by modifying pure sample (P-PA) ethylene-glycol (E-PA) Iso-butanol (I-PA). Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) analyzer, thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA), X-ray diffractometer (XRD) were used characterize adsorbents before after adsorption. batch adsorption studies carried out revealed highest at pH 6 180 min all adsorbents. functional groups, as well shifts peaks modification, confirmed using FTIR analysis. In addition, SEM images show a heterogeneous, rough surface sufficient cavities adsorbent modification. physiochemical characteristics indicated that BET pore volume diameter increased E-PA I-PA compared P-PA. experimental data obtained Langmuir pseudo-first-order (PFO) best described isotherm kinetic models, respectively. mechanism controlled mainly filling, while electrostatic interaction, complexation, ionic exchange also occurred minimally. thermodynamic parameters, ΔH° ΔG°, suggest an endothermic spontaneous process, findings this indicate husks offer cost-effective solutions are readily accessible wastewater treatment.

Prevalence of anterior nares colonization of Palestinian diabetic patients with Staphylococcus aureus or methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus

Quality Assurance and Safety of Crops & Foods, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 15(4)

Published: Oct. 5, 2023

Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is an opportunistic pathogen that colonizes the anterior nares of about one-third human population. Anterior colonization with S. or methicillin-resistant (MRSA) allows these pathogens to colonize skin and other anatomical locations. Accordingly, may cause different types endogenous infections. To investigate prevalence nasal carriage MRSA among Palestinian diabetic patients, swabs were taken from 151 undergo invasive surgeries. Thirty-five patients (35.1% total patients) found be colonized aureus, which 14 (9.7% MRSA. These proportions higher than those described for general population (30% 1.3%, respectively) even in (25.9% 2%, respectively). In addition, proportion was countries. Meanwhile, 30 53 isolates (57% isolates) also multidrug-resistant. remarkably high.

Assessing Groundwater Quality for Sustainable Drinking and Irrigation: A GIS-Based Hydro-Chemical and Health Risk Study in Kovilpatti Taluk, Tamil Nadu

Water, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 15(22), P. 3916 - 3916

Published: Nov. 9, 2023

The continuous investigation of water resources is essential to assess pollution risks. This study investigated a groundwater assessment in the coastal belt Tamil Nadu’s Kovilpatti Taluk, Thoothukudi district. Twenty-one samples were collected during pre-monsoon and post-monsoon seasons, analyzing quality parameters, namely pH, EC, Cl−, SO42−, Ca2+, Mg2+, HCO3−, TH, Na2+, K+. Water Quality Index (WQI) was computed it observed that 5% 9% unsuitable for drinking. SAR, MHR, RSC, %Na Kelley’s index used determine irrigation suitability. Pre-monsoon shows 29% (MHR) 71% (RSC) unsuitable, 59% unsuitable. Coastal activity, urbanization, industrialization resulted degradation quality. Solving this issue requires sustainable wastewater treatment strict industrial discharge guidelines. Spatial distribution plots, Box Gibbs Piper Wilcox plots Correlation Matrices had similar results WQI its physical–chemical parameters. According human health risk assessment, Mooppanpatti, Illuppaiurani, Vijayapuri regions show high risks due nitrate fluoride concentration groundwater. Kadambu, Melparaipatti, Therkuilandhaikulam, Vadakku Vandanam have low levels, posing minimal risk.

Prevalence and concentration of aflatoxin M1 and ochratoxin A in cheese: a global systematic review and meta-analysis and probabilistic risk assessment

Reviews on Environmental Health, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: Oct. 6, 2023

Abstract Exposure to mycotoxins such as aflatoxins can endanger human health, especially infants and children. In this study, an attempt was made retrieved studies related the concentration of aflatoxin M1 (AFM1) ochratoxin A (OTA). Search performed in international databases Embase, PubMed, Scopus, Web Science for period 1 January 2010 20 February 2023. Then, pooled defined subgroups calculated using meta-analysis health risk assessment conducted by margin exposure (MOEs). Thirty-one scientific papers with 34 data reports (Sample size=2,277) were included our study. The lowest highest prevalence AFM1 cheese El Salvador (12.18 %) Serbia (100.00 %). 49.85 %, 95 %CI (37.93–61.78 OTA Türkiye (6.67 Italy (44.21 35.64 (17.16–56.44 Health revealed that except Pakistan Iran, MOE other countries lower than 10,000 adults also Pakistan, Greece, higher Germany Therefore, it is recommended conduct control plans reduce cheese, AFM1.
