This work addresses the gap by introducing Quassia indica leaf extract as a bio reductant and stabilizer in the green synthesis of cobalt oxide-zinc oxide nanoparticles (QI: Co3O4/ZnO NP). The synthesized nanoparticles were characterized using various techniques, including UV-visible spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), dynamic light scattering (DLS), high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM), selected area electron diffraction (SAED), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). The existence of hexagonal zinc oxide and cubic cobalt oxide phases in the synthesized nanoparticles was verified by XRD analysis. The elemental composition was confirmed by EDX, which showed that oxygen, zinc, and cobalt were present. The average hydrodynamic diameter of 244.5 d. nm was found via DLS measurements, indicating well dispersed nanoparticles. Under UV light irradiation, photocatalytic activity of QI: Co3O4/ZnO NP was assessed for the degradation of textile dyes (Reactive Blue-222, Reactive Blue-220, Reactive Red-120, and Reactive Yellow-145). Phytotoxicity tests were conducted to examine the possible environmental impact of the deteriorated dye solution, revealing promising results in mitigating the detrimental impact of industrial dyes. QI: Co3O4/ZnO NP was also assessed for cytotoxicity studies in DLA and EAC cells which showed a concentration-dependent cytotoxic effect. The research outcomes emphasize the significant potential of these nanoparticles in diverse arena by offering a sustainable and efficacious resolution to the present-day problems.","PeriodicalId":545,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Science and Pollution Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.8,"publicationDate":"2025-05-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144085629","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The rapid pace of urbanization, coupled with growing population density, exacerbates air pollution levels in major Indian cities, with pollutants such as particulate matter (PM2.5), (PM10), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), nitrogen oxides (NOX), and carbon monoxide (CO) being significantly elevated in comparison with the rural areas. These pollutants have been implicated in the pathogenesis of T2D, by inducing insulin resistance, oxidative stress, and endothelial dysfunction leading to vascular complications of T2D. International studies also highlight a similar association between air pollution and the incidence of T2D. The multifactorial nature of the disease, combined with the myriad of contributing environmental and lifestyle factors, makes it challenging to pinpoint specific risk elements. To mitigate the impact of these combined factors, continuous monitoring of air quality is imperative. Monitoring of traffic emissions, promotion of electric vehicles (EVs), and enhancement of mass transit options can each mitigate the impact of air pollution on type 2 diabetes. Furthermore, the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) can optimize these interventions, making them even more effective. Urban planning strategies focused on increasing green spaces, afforestation, and sustainable construction practices are essential for long term health benefits. Collectively, these solutions present a holistic approach to combating T2D and improving public health amidst the challenges posed by urbanization and environmental pollution in India.","PeriodicalId":545,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Science and Pollution Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.8,"publicationDate":"2025-05-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144085626","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Wilcox and USSL diagrams suggest that only 20% of the groundwater samples satisfy the recommended sodium standards, whereas 50% of the groundwater samples are classified as unsuitable for irrigation because of salinity constraints. The spatial interpolation of four parameters, particularly electrical conductivity (EC), chemical oxygen demand (COD), chloride, and piezometric levels, is performed via ordinary kriging (OK). The results reveal the presence of high values of EC in the central and northern parts of the aquifer, and that chloride concentrations exceed the recommended irrigation standards in a large portion of the aquifer, mainly due to the presence of excessive industrial discharge. High levels of COD are observed in the northwestern part, probably due to anthropogenic sources. Indicator kriging (IK) revealed that a large portion of the northern part is likely to experience salinity and toxicity adversities, whereas the majority of the southern part is considered to be suitable for irrigation use. In particular, 38% of the study area is expected to be suitable for irrigation use concerning salinity (i.e., electrical conductivity and total dissolved solids (TDS)), whereas an even lower portion (16%) is expected with respect to chloride.","PeriodicalId":545,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Science and Pollution Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.8,"publicationDate":"2025-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144085627","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aimed to explore microbial diversity and functional adaptation in soils exposed to fly ash near the Kolaghat Thermal Power Plant, West Bengal, India, using whole genome shotgun sequencing. Understanding how microbial communities respond to such contamination is essential for developing effective bioremediation strategies. Soil samples were collected from the area, designated as BP1 sample selected for detailed metagenomics analysis. The study extracted DNA with a concentration of 46.2 ng/µl, followed by quality checks and profiling to identify microbial communities. Analysis showed that bacterial communities were dominated by Actinobacteria (48.28%) and Proteobacteria (40.80%), while fungi were primarily represented by Ascomycota (89.50%). Among viruses, Negarnaviricota were most prevalent, with the class Insthoviricetes accounting for 94.60%. Diversity analysis indicated that bacterial populations remained stable, fungal diversity fluctuated, and viral diversity increased, reflecting complex ecological interactions. The presence of key genes involved in lipid and carbohydrate metabolism suggests that microbes adapted to contamination by heavy metals and organic pollutants. The dominance of stress-tolerant Proteobacteria and Actinobacteria highlights their potential role in bioremediation. Future research should explore the potential of these microbes, particularly the role of ABC transporters, in improving pollutant degradation.","PeriodicalId":545,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Science and Pollution Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.8,"publicationDate":"2025-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144075263","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Microalgae harvesting can directly influence the microalgal biomass industry for its wide applications. In the present work, sugarcane bagasse (SB) was investigated as a plant waste-derived flocculant for harvesting microalgae. The SB with 40mg/L exhibited harvesting efficiency (HE) of 93.6% and 89.48% at pH 7.5 and 9.5, respectively. SB showed a negative surface charge, indicating that the flocculation mechanism in the present study is not primarily through charge neutralization. Elemental analysis of harvested biomass showed the presence of 27.07% of carbon, 6.83% of hydrogen, and 5.86% of nitrogen. Overall, results indicate the possible utility of SB as low-cost eco-friendly plant-based waste material for mixed microalgae harvesting. FTIR (Fourier-transform infrared), Zeta potential, SEM (scanning electron microscope), and EDX (energy-dispersive X-ray) analysis were performed to assess the characteristics of SB and mechanism of harvesting. The FTIR spectrum analysis of SB revealed the presence of multiple functional groups indicating their possible role in flocculation by bridging mechanisms.

Given the increasing states of eutrophy and climatic warming, through comprehensive field and controlled incubation studies, we investigated eutrophy-coupled temperature-driven dissolved oxygen deficit (DOD) and associated feedbacks-sediment-P and -metal releases, at sediment-water interface of the Ganga River. We selected seven study sites along a 520-km middle stretch of the river. We found a marked decline in the level of dissolved oxygen at sediment-water interface (DOsw) of eutropied sites, and the site with the lowest DOsw (Jjmu) showed 16.58% and 25.38% increase in the sediment-P release at 1 °C and 2 °C rise in the water temperature, respectively, whereas the respective metal release increased by 35.4% and 53.6%. Tukey's post hoc test revealed significant effect of DOsw and temperature on sediment-P and -metal releases. Multiple linear regression analysis indicated DOsw as the principal determinant (βDO > - 0.90; p < 0.001), whereas the temperature influenced these feedbacks by modulating the DOsw. Our findings suggest that the eutrophied rivers will undergo a process of self-degradation under future climate warming and advocate for re-consideration of adaptive management practices because human-driven eutrophy and climatic warming both are continuing to rise.","PeriodicalId":545,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Science and Pollution Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.8,"publicationDate":"2025-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144075251","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Zn-BDC/X/G reveals thermal permanence, advanced textural properties, pHPZC at pH 6.8, and 97 nm as TEM particle size. The maximum adsorption capacity of Zn-BDC/X/G was 271.40 mg/g at 25 °C, pH 5, equilibrium time within 60 min, and dosage 1.5 g/L as calculated from the nonlinear Langmuir model. Nonlinear kinetic and isothermal models have accurately described the adsorption process. The impact of ionic strength in Pb2+ adsorption onto Zn-BDC/X/G at pH 5 appears to be a decrease of removal % by 19 when compared with 1.5 mol/L of KCl. Thermodynamic analysis for Pb2+ adsorption onto Zn-BDC/X/G was endothermic, high randomness at solid-liquid boundary, and spontaneous physisorption process. The best eluent for removing Pb2+ from the surface of Zn-BDC/X/G is HNO3, which provides the highest desorption efficiency percent (99%). Zn-BDC/X/G composite could be reusable with a slight decrease in the removal efficiency by only 3% after eight application cycles.
