Background
Rapid utilization of natural resources and other anthropogenic activities intruded heavy metals into the food chain and raised alarming concern for all life forms. The available methods proved insufficient in handling waste and pollutants due to the high cost and generation of toxic residues. Bioremediation strategies have offered sustai...
Rapid industrialization, mining, and other anthropogenic activities have poisoned our environment with heavy metals, negatively impacting all forms of life. Heavy metal pollution causes physiological and neurological disorders, as heavy metals are endocrine disrupters, carcinogenic, and teratogenic. Therefore, it becomes mandatory to address the ch...
Cadmium (Cd) is ubiquitous and an unessential trace element existing in the environment. Anthropogenic activities and applications of synthetic phosphate fertilizers greatly enhance the concentration of Cadmium in the environment, which proves to be carcinogenic. The long-term effects of heavy metals contamination on plants and animals have recentl...
Soil is widely acknowledged as the optimal medium for promoting plant growth. Besides providing physical support to plants, soil serves as a source of nutrients. However, several factors can hinder plant growth, including the presence of disease-causing microorganisms, depletion of soil fertility, erosion of topsoil, and inadequate soil drainage. A...
Thisi review examines the possibility of soilless cultivation systems as a means of overcoming resource scarcity in many places of the world, such as good soil and clean water. The conventional usage of arable land is becoming more difficult, especially in light of climate change. Soilless farming systems not only allow you to save water and grow p...
The evolution of Internet of Things (IoT) technology and its integration into smart cities have significantly impacted people's lives and work systems. However, IoT technologies face challenges, including increased power consumption, pollution, and the generation of toxic e-waste, threatening urban environments. To counter these issues, there is a...
Influenza virus or other viruses continuously pose a threat to the health of human beings and farmed animals resulting in various pandemics. Medicinal plants have been widely used in the treatment of variety of infections. While we are living in a modern era with advanced technologies that enable us to combat various infectious ailments, the overgr...
Proteins and peptides are essential biomacromolecules that play a number of physiological and biological roles in the body. These macromolecules are thought to provide attractive platforms for the delivery of medications and genes because they are biocompatible and biodegradable. However, peptides and proteins have significant drawbacks that hinder...
The buildup of heavy metals in soil has increased fast as a result of both natural and anthropogenic (industrial) causes. Because they do not break down via natural processes, heavy metals can build up in the environment, infiltrate the food chain via crop plants, and even biomagnify to dangerous levels inside the human body. Due to their toxicity,...
The biggest problem at present in the globe is environmental pollution, which affects air, water, and soil all equally. Heavy metal pollution is a rigorous problem which requires careful consideration. Lead (Pb+2) is a toxic heavy metal do not have essential function in human being cause, severe health issue in human and animal. When lead enters an...

These macromolecules are thought to provide attractive platforms for the delivery of medications and genes because they are biocompatible and biodegradable. However, peptides and proteins have significant drawbacks that hinder...
The goal of conducting research that is descriptive is to offer a description of the subject under investigation. For a product that has just been released, for example, the characteristics of consumers may be stated in terms of the degree to which product usage varies with factors such as income, age, gender, and other characteristics. In another...
Nanotechnology and regulatory issues
Selenium is an essential trace element inevitably present in almost all the soils. It exists in the various chemical forms at a particular site due to the various features such as pH, organic matter, concentration of cations and anions of the site. An excessive concentration of selenium has been reported in various regions of Punjab. The present re...
Natural and anthropogenic activities lead to the degradation of the environment. Exposure to certain natural and xenobiotic compounds has resulted in adverse impact on the health of both environment and living beings. Heavy metals and metalloids are the natural constituents of an ecosystem, which enter the food chain due to global industrialization...
Background
This study was carried out to isolate and characterize the bacterial strains from lindane-contaminated soil and they were also assessed for their lindane-degrading potential. Methods
In this study the enrichment culture method was used for isolation of lindane degrading bacterial isolates, in which the mineral salt medium (MSM) supplemen...
Cadmium (Cd) is a heavy metal that is easily accumulated in the living organisms in connection with anthropogenic activities which may result in serious health problems. In the present study, five potential cadmium tolerant bacterial strains were isolated from industrial effluent with heavy metal contamination and were screened for biosorption pote...
