Soil health is the foundation of sustainable agriculture, and its preservation paramount in global arsenic (As) contamination challenges. As a critical issue for environmental agricultural sustainability. Rapid urbanization industrial expansion release toxic heavy metal(loid)s, including As, into soil. Arsenic disrupts rhizosphere ecosystem, affecting plant health, microbial communities, overall soil functionality. Ensuring face imperative human well-being developing resilient, environment. This review signifies need comprehensive strategies to revitalize ecosystems, promoting resilience long-term ecological balance. Advanced biotechnological approaches, particularly bioremediation phytoremediation, remediation, mycoremediation, nano-remediation, other integrative strategies, are highlighted their effectiveness addressing health. Conventional physico-chemical techniques make unsuitable agriculture by disrupting microenvironment. Consequently, urgent remediation demands adoption eco-friendly such as bioremediation, rhizoremediation, enhance Development transgenic lines genetically modified organisms (GMOs) effective tools reducing burden. Sphingomonas desiccabilis Bacillus idriensis bacteria expressing arsM gene, well subtilis transformed with potential GMOs that show promising results reduce Transgenic rice, incorporating gene from Rhodopseudomonas palustris, demonstrated 10 times more volatile arsenicals reduced accumulation grain. Additionally, use As-hyperaccumulating species conventional methods, like chemical-assisted phytoextraction, decontaminating As-polluted Future research should explore contributions novel regions affected contamination.

Recent Advances in MXenes Based Composites as Photocatalysts: Synthesis, Properties and Photocatalytic Removal of Organic Contaminants from Wastewater

ChemCatChem, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 15(18)

Published: July 6, 2023

Abstract MXene has indeed gained significant attention in recent years as a promising photocatalyst for various applications, including photocatalytic degradation of pollutants. possesses several unique physical and chemical properties that make it suitable such its uniform planar structure, strong metal conductivity, effective functional groups, numerous derivatives. These contribute to the excellent photodegradation performance long‐term stability exhibited by MXene‐based photocatalysts compared other photocatalysts. composites, which are formed incorporating with materials, demonstrate even better activity due their abundant active sites porous structure. One crucial factor influencing is presence groups on surface MXene. play role process overall efficiency catalyst. To provide broader understanding photocatalysts, physicochemical briefly described this review. This includes structural characteristics, electrical groups. review also investigates synthesis routes preparing MXene, both natural state composites materials. methods essential tailoring meet specific requirements. Finally, discusses future work challenges photocatalysis. field holds great promise addressing environmental concerns improving organic compounds. However, further research needed optimize methods, enhance efficiency, explore practical applications

Many studies have investigated the role of metals in various types malignancies. Considering wide range conducted this field and achievement different results, presented systematic review was performed to obtain results investigations on prevention occurrence cancer associated with metal exposures. In review, research three databases: Scopus, PubMed, Web Science without historical restrictions until May 31, 2024. Animal studies, books, articles, conference papers, letters editors were omitted. The special checklist Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) used for quality assessment articles. Finally, findings classified according effect as preventive or carcinogenic. total number retrieved articles 4695, 71 eligible further investigation. most concentration toxic such lead (Pb), chromium (Cr (VI)), arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), nickel (Ni) biological clinical samples patients higher than that healthy people. addition, presence essential elements, selenium (Se), zinc (Zn), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn) tolerable low concentrations revealed anti-cancer properties, while exposure high has detrimental health effects.
