This chapter aims to summarize the state of phytoremediation technologies, with a focus on heavy metal phytoextraction from the contaminated sites. Heavy metal decontamination of soils is crucial for lowering associated risks, as well as sustaining environmental health and ecological restoration. A range of physical, chemical, and biological techni...

Microplastics (MPs) and heavy metals (HMs) pollution pose significant environmental threats by accumulating in marine species, leading to potential health risks for marine life and humans consuming contaminated seafood. However, limited research has been conducted on the bioavailability and toxicity of MPs and HMs in the marine biota of the Bay of...

Throughout history, animals have been a vital source of protein and energy and have been utilized in agriculture to produce food for human consumption. The increasing global demands for protein are being met through the increased production of meat, milk, eggs, and other food items, and is facilitated by the rapid pace of industrialization. However...

Microplastics (MPs) possess a strong capacity to adsorb and biodegrade slowly, resulting in substantial harm to the environment and potential health risks. In recent years, a flourishing study of MPs has led to valuable advancements. This review article presents a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of global microplastic pollution, providing a dee...

This study reviewed eutrophication in terms of causes, areas of prevalence, and highly accepted control measures with some provable recommendations. Wastes thrown from different sources make the water highly rich in nutrients especially nitrogen and phosphorus which in turn make the water source eutrophicated. Nutrients from industrial sources such...

The surface properties of nanomaterials are an important consideration in most scientific and technological applications. Several methodologies can maneuver these properties while surface modification is the most common technique. Carbon Dots (CDs) are viable competitive materials for their pacific environment, chemical inertness, tunable photolumi...

Bangladesh is not an exception to the growing global environmental problem of plastic pollution. Plastics have been deemed a blessing for today's world thanks to their inexpensive production costs, low weight, toughness, and flexibility, but poor biodegradability and massive misuse of plastics are to blame for widespread contamination of the enviro...

Toxic metals in soil and rice have negative consequences for the ecology as well as human health. Computing soil pollution status and human health hazards from several sources might assist to prioritize sources and manage concerns. The present study was conducted in a brick kiln area of Bangladesh to know the metal contamination status in soils and...

In Dhaka megacity (Bangladesh), lakes located in the most exclusive areas are considered crucial urban water bodies. However, these water sources are confronting a heavy load of organic and inorganic pollutants by anthropogenic activities and are being polluted continuously. In this review , 50 relevant published documents on the lake water of Dhak...

In this study, elemental abundances of As, Cd, Cr, Co, Cu, Pb, and Zn in the 30 composite sediment samples from Jamuna River, Bangladesh were measured by atomic absorption spectrophotometer to assess their pollution level, toxicity, and ecological risks in both summer and winter season. In summer, mean concentrations of As, Cd, Cr, Co, Cu, Pb, and...

A wildfire, an unplanned fire that is largely uncontrolled and originates in combustible vegetation in rural or urban settings, is one of the most pervasive natural catastrophes in some areas, such as Siberia, California, and Australia. Many studies, such as standard reviews, have been undertaken to look into the works of literature on wildfires or...

Toxic metals in river sediments may represent significant ecological concerns, although there has been limited research on the source-oriented ecological hazards of metals in sediments. Surface sediments from an industrial affected Rupsa River were utilized in this study to conduct a complete investigation of toxic metals with source-specific ecolo...

The Bay of Bengal is rich with its biological diversity, which plays an important role in the country's economic and social development. This study describes the condition factor of Cynoglossus cynoglossus in the Bay of Bengal, Bangladesh. Samples were collected from the Bay of Bengal during January to December 2020. Body weight (BW) of fishes were...

Minute quantities of trace metals have delirious effects in the human body causing acute and chronic toxicities. These trace metals have the ability to bind with enzymes and proteins causing an alteration in their activity, and, consequently, their damage. In this study, water samples were collected from five sites in Rupsa River (Bangladesh) durin...

Wildfire is closely associated with human society and having its effect on earth as well as on its environment for more than 350 million years. It is a very common phenomenon from the ancient period, has hazardous effects on both environment and human life. This study mainly focuses on the review of wildfire of Australia during 2019-2020 regarding...

Bioremediation is an innovative and promising technology available for the removal and recovery of heavy metals from contaminated media. Bioremediation uses organisms to absorb heavy metals at low cost and with no secondary pollution. Bioremediation by macrofungi that degrade pollutants or wastes is referred to as mycoremediation. Macrofungi, like...

This study was conducted to assess the concentrations of cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb) in soils of tobacco field and plants were collected in the edge of Sichuan Basin, China (Panzihua, Guangyuan, Luzhou and Yibin). Ecological risk of Cd and Pb in soil and human health risk from tobacco leaves were also assessed. The maximum Cd and Pb concentrations i...

Rice is the staple food of Bangladeshi people and is consumed at least twice a day. Thus, the presence of toxic metals in rice grains has become a major public health concern in Bangladesh. The present research was conducted to investigate the concentrations of toxic metals in rice grains and their possible human health risks in the Tangail distric...

Tangail district is more vulnerable to heavy metals contamination for industrialization in Bangladesh. Present study describe six heavy metals (Cr, Ni, Cu, As, Cd, and Pb) in fifteen several sampling locations in industrial vicinity of Tangail district were determined. The concentration of Cr, Ni, Cu, As, Cd, and Pb in studied areas soils were obse...

This study was conducted to assess the potential ecological and human health risk of toxic metals in agricultural soils near the industrial areas of Bangladesh. In this study, six toxic metals (chromium, nickel, copper, arsenic, cadmium, and lead) were assessed in 58 soil samples of five different sampling sites around the industrial areas of Jhena...

The study was conducted to isolate and identify the presence of Shiga toxin producing Escherichia coli (STEC) strains in water samples of the Old Brahmaputra River and Sewage water at Mymensingh Municipality. A total of 20 water samples were collected for this experi-ment. Samples were cultured on EMB agar, stained and PCR was done to detect the pa...

The study was conducted at the municipal area of Mymensingh Sadar upazilla during July to November 2017. Plastic bag (polythene bag) wastes pose serious environmental pollutions and health problems in humans and animals. The situation is deranged in underdeveloped countries like Bangladesh. The aim of this survey was to evaluate the using pattern o...
