Aptasensors for the Detection of Environmental Contaminants of High Concern in Water Bodies: A Systematic Review

Chemosensors, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 12(4), P. 59 - 59

Published: April 9, 2024

With the advancement of technology and increasing industrial activity, anthropogenic contaminants are currently detected where there is no record their presence or insufficient information about toxicological impact. Consequently, not sufficiently robust local global regulations, ecotoxicological human health risks critical, they may be routinely monitored despite being ubiquitous. The interest in studying environmental contaminants, including micropollutants emerging complex water samples has grown last decade. Due to concentrations which typically found environment rapid dispersion, detection procedures for these substances must capable measuring very low concentrations. Many efforts have been made improve remediation develop novel analytical methods determination. Although several reliable standard techniques monitoring, pollutant contamination requires simple inexpensive massive, situ monitoring campaigns. In this regard, biosensors emerged as devices with high selectivity, sensitivity, easy operation, short analysis times. Aptasensors based on a nucleic acid recognition element (aptamer). synthetic nature, stability, production, aptamers frequently employed bioassays. This work presents systematic review trends using aptasensors detecting present samples, well estimation potential technological contribution might give monitoring.

IoT-based Food Quality Monitoring System Using Machine Learning

Published: April 2, 2024

One of the main considerations in preventing food waste is safety and cleanliness. Foods should not be allowed to deteriorate or rot due environmental elements including humidity, temperature, darkness. The quality also regularly checked. Deploying monitoring systems beneficial following reasons:. These keep an eye on external influencing quality. Factors such as vacuum storage, refrigeration, others later kept items from spoiling. More specifically, sensors this system—which measure pH, gas, DHT—provide vital data required assess condition product that being packed kept. Leveraging Internet Things (IoT) technology involves transmitting a computer system. Subsequently, system displays user interface tracks product's evolution over time. goal project enhance assessment by employing machine learning algorithms.

A review of dye effluents polluting African surface water: sources, impacts, physicochemical properties, and treatment methods

Discover Water, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 4(1)

Published: Oct. 17, 2024

Abstract This review investigates the pervasive issue of dye effluent pollution in African surface waters, focusing on its significant adverse effects both human health and environmental quality. Drawing from 63 articles published between 2004 2022, includes studies Northern, Western, Eastern, Central, Southern Africa, illustrating widespread nature contamination across continent. Five primary sources effluents are identified: textiles, food industries, producers, artisan dyes, tannery-paint all which contribute substantially to degradation water The physicochemical properties show high toxicity levels with regional variations. These variations highlight importance considering specific characteristics types processing chemicals fully understand levels. In evaluating treatment methods, finds that adsorption, coagulation/flocculation, filtration, advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) such as photocatalysis, photo-Fenton oxidation, plasma-chemical effective mitigating pollution. application these methods varies different regions, indicating need for region-specific approaches based local conditions available resources. also examines impact aquatic ecosystems health, risk assessments revealing ranging acute chronic. demonstrates urgent targeted interventions address thereby protecting public health.

Sustainable development in African countries: evidence from the impacts of education and poverty ratio

Humanities and Social Sciences Communications, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 11(1)

Published: Oct. 18, 2024

This paper uses the autoregressive-distributed lag model to investigate effects of education, poverty, trade volume, ICT development, and GDP per capita on sustainability in 15 largest African economies from 1999 2019. The results show a positive correlation between higher tertiary education rates sustainability, emphasizing importance investing for sustainable development. In contrast, poverty are linked lower highlighting need reduction efforts. Increased volumes associated with reduced indicating challenges liberalization policies achieving goals. However, development has significant impact sustainability. Interestingly, is potentially due unsustainable consumption patterns social inequalities. Policy recommendations promoting countries include targeted measures focusing reduction. Gender-friendly initiatives eliminate educational disparities, especially among marginalized groups, can enhance human capital Additionally, e-businesses entrepreneurship, along attracting foreign investment employment initiatives, drive economic growth while minimizing environmental fostering inclusive

Opportunities and challenges of using human excreta-derived fertilizers in agriculture: A review of suitability, environmental impact and societal acceptance

The Science of The Total Environment, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 957, P. 177306 - 177306

Published: Nov. 12, 2024

Human excreta-derived fertilizers (HEDFs) are organic made from human excreta sources such as urine and feces. HEDFs can contribute to a sustainable circular agriculture by reuse of valuable nutrients that would otherwise be discarded. However, may contain contaminants pharmaceuticals, persistent compounds, heavy metals pathogens which negatively affect plant, water soil quality. Moreover, consumer prejudice, farmer hesitance strict regulations discourage utilization HEDFs. Here, we conducted thorough review published literature explore the opportunities challenges using in agricultural systems evaluating suitability nutrient source, their typical contaminant composition, how they quality crops, soils societal impact acceptance. We found suitable nutrient-rich fertilizers, but contaminants. Processing treatments increase fertilizer reducing these contaminants, do not remove all completely. Regarding environmental impacts overall positive effects on crop yield, nutrients, plant-soil-microbe interactions plant pathogen suppression. The use reduces contamination sewage waste dumping, leaching dependent type still no increased risks with compared inorganic identified processing treatment well significantly risks. Lastly, public acceptance is possible clear outreach inform consumers farmers multi-faceted benefits safe usage after treatments. In summary, this emphasizes great potential its society, especially regions where conventional scarce, while also stressing need for adaptation specific crops.
