Methods: Raw and pasteurized milk samples were collected from eight farms and milk collection units and four pasteurized milk production factories in Neyshabour city during the warm and cold seasons. 56 samples of raw milk and 24 samples of pasteurized milk were analyzed using the Copan milk test, Tri-Sensor kit and ELISA detection methods to evaluate presence of the antibiotic residue. Results: Copan milk test and Tri-Sensor kit did not detect the antibiotic residue. ELISA kit was able to detect the presence of gentamicin and streptomycin in milk. 25% of the samples contained gentamicin, while 10% of the samples contained streptomycin. The amount of antibiotic residue in the warm season was higher than cold season. 58.3% of pasteurized milk samples in the warm season had gentamicin. Conclusion: Based on our results, extensive and accurate monitoring of antibiotics in raw and pasteurized milk needs to be performed in the city, especially in warm seasons.","PeriodicalId":14962,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advances in Environmental Health Research","volume":"50 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139358896","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Since the current information about these particles in Iranian municipal solid waste transfer station and landfill systems is scanty, this study aimed to determine the amounts and abundance of MPs and MRs in soils. Methods: Each of the twelve sites that determined using a systematic grid sampling method had approximately 100 g of soil samples from a depth of 0-10 cm with three replications. The method used for extracting MPs from the soil samples was density separation with saturated zinc chloride solution. The particles were investigated by the size, shape, abundance and colour. A total of 1807 MP and 1872.7 MR particles were detected from the samples. The Pearson’s correlation coefficient (r) was used for describing correlations. Results: The highest abundance of MPs was observed at the S5 site (325.9±26.8 items/100 g soil). The particles were categorized into fragments, foams, fibers, films and spheres. Five ranges of particle size were identified (between 1 mm ≤L and L≤100 μm) in nine color categories. The 1 mm ≤L size class was dominant in MPs (54%) and MRs (52%). The majority of the MPs (41.8%) were white/transparent, whereas MRs were identified as black/gray (99.1%). Conclusion: Contamination by MPs and MRs exceeded allowable standards, compared to other transfer stations across the globe.","PeriodicalId":14962,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advances in Environmental Health Research","volume":"92 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79427274","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Charles J. Pedersen, at du Pont figure out a compound in the early 1960s famous for dibenzo-18-crown-6 (DB18C6) later on. The detection of the complex formation in solution, the designation of the stability of the consequence complex or complexes and the determination of the thermodynamic or the kinetic parameters of the complex formation can be attained by a manifold of physicochemical measurements. Conformational rigidity or flexibility of macrocycles has a considerable penetration on their selective behavior. The number, type, and arrangement of donor atoms in the macrocyclic rings play a main role in macrocycle selectivity. Based on chemistry terminology, this is known as “host-guest” chemistry where the ether plays the role as the host and the ionic species as the guest. In organic solutions, crown ethers take the role of phase-transfer catalysts and agents in order to enhance the solubility of inorganic salts. Macrocycles need to compete with solvent molecules for the cations during the process of complexation. Consequently, variation of the solvent makes a considerable change in the manifest binding characteristics of these ligands.","PeriodicalId":14962,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advances in Environmental Health Research","volume":"85 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79358953","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To cope with all these constraints, the producers adopted various strategies, including the use of agricultural inputs to improve the production. Thus, this study aimed to characterize the effects of these inputs on water-soil couple. Methods: First, 12 soil and surface water samples were taken for analysis. Second, determination of trace metal content was done using an atomic absorption spectrophotometer (AAS). Also chemical elements were analyzed using a HACH DR 6000 spectrophotometer. Results: Soil concentrations of exchangeable base Ca2+, K+ and Mg2+ are low with average values of 5.71 cmol/kg, 0.35 and 1.66 cmol/kg, respectively. The soils of cocoa orchards are quite rich in assimilable phosphorus (P). The average phosphorus content is 24.31 cmol/kg with a minimum of 3.92 cmol/kg and a maximum of 78.4 cmol/kg. The study of surface water quality showed that the average values of biochemical oxygen demand for 5 days (BOD5) (18.64 mg/L) and chemical oxygen demand (COD) (15.49 mg/L) are lower than the respective standards of 25 and 125 mg/L of the world health organization (WHO) standard. These surface waters have average concentrations of 0.015 mg/L for cadmium (Cd), 0.042 mg/L for zinc (Zn) and 0.062 mg/L for manganese (Mn), below the respective standards of 0.003, 3 and 0.4 mg/L.
