Environmental pollutants significantly impact health and quality of life. High levels harmful metals in drinking water, vegetables, soil can accumulate the body, leading to serious issues. In Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan, prevalence cancer is notably high, heavy are considered among possible risk factors. this study, distribution metals, e.g., Cd, Mn, Cu, Cr, Ni, Gilgit Skardu Districts was assessed. A geo-accumulation index combined with a deterministic technique examine potential carcinogenic non-carcinogenic impacts on human health. Cr Ni water exceeded permissible limits from both districts. Drinking had HQ > 1 for posing significant effects.

ABSTRACT Ethiopia faces significant agricultural challenges, including soil degradation, nutrient depletion, and water scarcity, which threaten food security sustainable development. Addressing these issues requires innovative solutions to enhance health, conserve resources, improve crop productivity. This bibliographic review systematically explores the potential of zeolite technology as a tool for tackling challenges in Ethiopia. Studies sourced from databases, such Google Scholar, PubMed, Scopus, AGRIS, were analyzed, with 123 articles selected on basis relevance, credibility, data support. Zeolite offers multiple benefits, reducing leaching by 65%–86%, increasing pH levels 7.05 8.12 7.5 t ha −1 application, improving grain yields 15.9%–31.8% across crops like rice, barley, maize 10 application. Despite advantages, adoption remains limited. highlights need field trials assess crop‐specific responses socio‐economic impacts. If identified research gaps are addressed, could become an essential component Ethiopia's toolkit, enabling farmers productivity, adapt climate variability, achieve security. Its transform farming systems, contributing resilience against environmental stresses supporting long‐term

Tannery effluent poses significant risks to soil health, primarily through contamination with heavy metals like chromium, sulphides, and persistent organic pollutants (POPs). These toxic substances inhibit microbial activity, reducing nutrient cycling matter decomposition essential for fertility. Beneficial microorganisms, including nitrogen-fixing bacteria, are particularly affected, leading altered communities dominated by less advantageous, metal-tolerant species. Accumulation of POPs disrupts enzymatic activities, interferes plant root growth, complicates remediation efforts due pollutant migration groundwater potential entry into the food chain. Prolonged exposure such contaminants diminishes fertility, reduces resilience, ecosystem services, posing threats agricultural productivity environmental health. This review was aimed outline what made bioremediation a superior treatment technology among other methods used in remediating tannery contaminated soil. Efforts mitigate impacts involve combination physical, chemical, biological technologies. Physical washing, flushing, thermal desorption focus on removing or isolating contaminants, while chemical approaches as oxidation, reduction, stabilization transform harmful forms immobilize them. Biological leverages microorganisms plants detoxify sustainably. Bioremediation strategies aid bioaugmentation biostimulation do enhance activity address inorganic effectively more than physical methods. Another excellent called phytoremediation can also effectively, Achieving better technique should be coupled stringent industrial regulations, sustainable tanning methods, stakeholder awareness

Heavy metal contamination in marine ecosystems poses a critical environmental challenge, with significant implications for biodiversity, trophic dynamics, and human health. Marine fish are key bioindicators of heavy pollution because their role food webs capacity bioaccumulation transfer. This review synthesizes current knowledge on the pathways mechanisms accumulation fish, focusing factors that influence uptake, retention, tissue distribution. We explore processes governing transfer biomagnification, highlighting species-specific patterns risks posed to apex predators, including humans. Additionally, we assess ecological consequences at population, community, ecosystem levels, emphasizing its effects reproduction, community structure, interactions. By integrating recent findings, this highlights gaps suggests future research directions improve monitoring risk assessment. Given persistence bioavailability metals environments, effective control strategies sustainable fisheries management imperative mitigate long-term public health risks.
