In the experimentbioplastic is made from banana and orange peels in different concentrations i.e., banana peels (100g), orange peel (100 g) and combination of banana (50 g) and orange peel (50 g). The Bioplastic made from orange peel was observed with some gaps as starch content in orange peel is less whencompared to banana peel. Bioplastic made from the combination of both peels in the concentrationof banana peel (50 g) and orange peel (50 g) was little bit stiff with some gaps and when tried withthe concentration of banana peel (70 g) and orange peel (30 g) bioplastic was obtained. Thesynthesized bioplastic was subjected to mould test, swelling test, solubility test, Biodegradable testand elongation test. On experiment the mould test revealed that it can be moulded into differentshapes like conventional plastic. Swelling test showed that there is a slight increase in weight ofthe bioplastic when soaked in water as a medium and this is a desirable result because most of theadditives are prepared by using organic solvents, certainly it will help in stabilize productsynthesis and development. From the solubility test it was revealed that none of the samples weresoluble in different mediums which shows that the bioplastic material prepared is stable.Biodegradability test showed that the obtained bioplastic is degradable within 15 days. Thebioplastic made with the combination of banana and orange peels showed more percentage ofelongation i.e., 20.4% where as the bioplastic made from banana peel showed 10% and from orangepeel showed 3% which indicates that the bioplastic synthesized from combination of fruit peelshas more strength compared to individual peels.","PeriodicalId":20370,"journal":{"name":"Pollution Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47638273","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}

Fluorosis is a diseasethat affects about 200 million individuals in 25 nations throughout the world. Fluorosis is endemicin 17 Indian states, which is surprising. The purpose of this study was to determine the fluoridecontent in groundwater in various villages in Haryanaâs Gurugram district, where groundwater isthe primary source of drinking water. A total of 186 groundwater samples were collected usinghand pumps and examined for fluoride levels. Fluoride levels in four tehsils range from 0.08 mg/l (village Haiderpur, Grurgram Tehsil) to 10.5 mg/l (Village Haiderpur, Grurgram Tehsil). Accordingto the study, fluoride concentrations in 106 villages/towns (65.84 percent) are below 1.0 mg/l, themaximum desirable limit of drinking water standards recommended by the Bureau of IndianStandards (IS: 10500, 2012), and fluoride concentrations in 12 villages/towns are above 1.0 mg/l butbelow or equal to 1.5 mg/l. Fluoride levels in 41 villages/towns were found to be above thepermitted limit, rendering them unsafe for drinking. Fluoride in groundwater is thought to becaused by the presence of fluoride-bearing minerals in the host rock, their chemical features suchas breakdown, dissociation, and dissolution, and their interaction with water. Dilution byblending, artificial recharge, effective irrigation methods, and well construction are some of thesuggested remedial measures to mitigate fluoride pollution in groundwater.","PeriodicalId":20370,"journal":{"name":"Pollution Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48617415","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}

Therefore, this paper exploredthe efficacy in the treatment and degradation of micro-pollutants especially using greensynthesised iron nanoparticles. Micro-pollutants are mainly found in water bodies as a result of theanthropogenic activities, however, the chemical oxidation methods of AOPs have been found to beeffective. The use of green synthesised nanoparticles are sustainable and more efficient thantraditional AOPs. Therefore, based on the current findings the study has recommended the use ofhybrid green synthesised Iron (Fe) nanoparticles for future applications in mass degradations ofmicro-pollutants. Another important finding was that green synthesized nanoparticles degradepollutants that cannot be done by traditional methods of AOPs.

Heavy metals in riverine environment represent an abiding treat to human health. Theseheavy metals are not easily degradable in nature and accumulate in plants, animals and humanbodies leading to toxic effects. This study includes the six heavy metals namely Iron, Copper,Chromium, Lead, Zinc and Cadmium found in range of 0.19-2.3, 0.01-0.15, 0-0.09, 0.01-0.12, 0.01-0.12and 0-0.001 mg/l, respectively. The investigation of heavy metals can be done by using FlameAtomic Absorption Spectrometry (APHA). The overall mean concentration of heavy metals wasobserved in the following order Fe > Zn > Cu > Cr > Pd > Cd. The enhanced concentration ofcertain metals in the riverine ecosystem may be attributed due to anthropogenic contribution fromindustrial activities of the area.
