Cytotoxicity and instability are the limitations when using bioactive compounds in cosmetic and pharmacology products. This study assesses Vernonia amygdalina leaf extracts for their antityrosinase, antiamylase, and antioxidant activities. Group A extracts were obtained using an aqueous solvent system [70% (v/v) of methanol (BTL70ME), ethanol (BTL7...
In this paper, we review the effects of large-scale neonicotinoid contaminations in the aquatic environment on non-target aquatic invertebrate and vertebrate species. These aquatic species are the fauna widely exposed to environmental changes and chemical accumulation in bodies of water. Neonicotinoids are insecticides that target the nicotinic typ...
The use of chemicals to boost food production increases as human consumption also
increases. The insectidal, nematicidal and acaricidal chemical carbofuran (CAF), is among the highly toxic carbamate pesticide used today. Alongside, copper oxide nanoparticles (CuO) are also used as pesticides due to their broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity. The o...
Density functional theory calculations were performed to investigate the reaction mechanism of the aerobic oxidation of benzyl alcohol to benzaldehyde catalyzed by Au and Au–Pd clusters. Two consecutive reaction mechanisms were examined with Au8 and Au6Pd2 clusters: (1) the oxidation of benzyl alcohol with dissociated O atoms on metal clusters gene...
Antidepressants are well-known drugs to treat depression and major depressive disorder for humans. However, the misuse and abuse of antidepressants keep increasing with several side effects reported. The aim of this study was to assess the potential adverse effects of 18 antidepres-sants by monitoring zebrafish larval locomotor activity performance...
Pesticides are widely used to eradicate insects, weed species, and fungi in agriculture. The half-lives of some pesticides are relatively long and may have the dire potential to induce adverse effects when released into the soil, terrestrial and aquatic systems. To assess the potential adverse effects of pesticide pollution in the aquatic environme...
This review summarizes the present knowledge on the toxicity of copper and copper nanoparticles (CuNPs) to various fish species. In previous decades, the excessive usage of metal and metallic nanoparticles has increased significantly, increasing the probability of the accumulation and discharge of metals in various trophic levels of the environment...
Natural resources are declining rapidly. Water scarcity is one of the biggest crises that the world faces. Even though there are many treatment methods, it still leaves a large carbon foot print. Hence, biological treatment is desired. However, there are many toxic compounds that contaminate wastewater, which inhibit biological treatment. Therefore...
It is well known that the microcapsules encapsulating heat storage or phase change materials are coated onto the fabrics for the thermoregulating property. To increase their function on the textile application, in this work, bifunctional microcapsules having both thermal energy storage and antibacterial properties were fabricated. Chitosan was used...
In order to understand the sanitary implications around the demand side management of domestic hot water cylinders, microbial samples were taken from the bottom of 10 UK domestic electric hot water tanks whose heating elements are connected to a controlled off-peak supply. The results indicated high concentrations of bacteria in the water and biofi...
