The results indicate that increased humidity and temperature might reduce PM₁₀ levels by enhancing particle dispersion and deposition. Positive correlations between PM₁₀, NO, and NO₂ suggest a shared origin, likely from vehicle emissions. To further analyze PM₁₀ behavior, prediction models were developed to categorize PM₁₀ levels as \"good\" (≤ 45 μg/m³) or \"bad\" (>45 μg/m³) based on a air quality guidelines from WHO. The performance of the random forest (RF) and logistic regression (LR) algorithms were evaluated and compared. Additionally, the influence of atmospheric variables and pollutant concentrations was also assessed to determine their impact on PM₁₀ predictions. RF model demonstrated the highest predictive performance for PM₁₀ level. Results indicate that NOx (NO₂ and NO) significantly contribute to PM₁₀ formation, likely due to shared anthropogenic sources. Temperature, humidity, and wind speed also impact PM₁₀ predictions, though to a lesser extent than pollutant concentrations. The inclusion of these variables highlights the role in the dispersion and transformation of air pollutants.

The photocatalysts were characterized using XRD, N₂ adsorption-desorption, FE-SEM, EDS, HR-TEM, FTIR, Raman spectroscopy, UV-Vis DRS, and PL spectroscopy. The study investigated the effects of g-C₃N₄ content, photocatalyst loading, dye concentration and type, solution pH, scavengers, and oxidants on the photocatalytic degradation process. The g-C₃N₄ photocatalyst, with a high surface area of approximately 100 m²/g, exhibited a combined adsorption and photocatalytic degradation effect for rhodamine B (RhB) removal. Notably, nearly 100% RhB degradation was achieved using 1 g/L of the optimized 50% g-C₃N₄/TSBW heterojunction photocatalyst with an initial RhB concentration of 10 mg/L after only 20 min of visible light exposure. This high performance resulted from the synergistic effect of combining g-C₃N₄ with TSBW, facilitated by the formation of a type II heterojunction between TiO₂ and g-C₃N₄, which effectively suppressed the recombination of photoinduced charge carriers. Trapping experiments provided mechanistic insights into RhB photocatalytic degradation, revealing the significant contribution of superoxide radicals (•O₂^-). Based on these trapping experiments, a plausible photocatalytic reaction mechanism was proposed.

However, zinc sulphate (ZnS) may act as an acute stress signal to alleviate the toxic effects of Cd stress by upregulating the antioxidant defense mechanism and enhancing nutrient absorption. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of ZnS foliar application on mitigating the toxic effects of Cd stress in maize seedlings. The treatments were a) ZnS applications (0 ppm, 20 ppm, and 40 ppm), b) maize varieties, V1 = Malka-16 and V2 = Sahiwal Gold, and Cd stress (0 mg kg^-1, 20 mg kg^-1, and 40 mg kg^-1). Cadmium stress significantly reduced the growth and chlorophyll content in maize varieties as compared to the control. Results have revealed that plant growth and photosynthetic pigments were reduced under Cd stress as plant height and carotenoid contents decreased by 41.5 and 45.0% in Malka-16 and 12.7 and 50% in Sahiwal Gold compared to the control. Nutrient uptake was also significantly affected by Cd stress as calcium, phosphorus, potassium, and sodium were reduced in the roots, stems, and leaves in both maize varieties. However, ZnS treatments successfully reduced the toxicity of Cd stress in maize varieties and improved plant growth and development as compared to the control. Among the antioxidants, ascorbate (AsA), peroxidase (POD), catalase (CAT), and superoxide dismutase (SOD) were improved by 22.3, 12.8, 15.2, and 17.6% in Malka-16 and 18.0, 18.3, 16.2, and 18.8% in Sahiwal Gold by ZnS supplementations under Cd stress. Among both varieties of maize, Sahiwal Gold outperformed Malka-16 regarding plant morphophysiological, biochemical attributes, and nutrient uptake under Cd-stressed conditions. In crux, ZnS applications in maize decreased the toxicity of Cd stress by modifying the plant's antioxidant defense system. Zinc use is a promising strategy for sustainable agriculture since it enhances yield and quality and decreases cadmium deposition in edible plant parts.</p>","PeriodicalId":545,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Science and Pollution Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.8,"publicationDate":"2025-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144525888","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 methodology developed is based on the combination of two methods, namely the Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP) and the Preference Ranking Organization METHod for Enrichment Evaluations (PROMETHEE II). The results of the first method show that the collapse criterion is the most important, with a weight of 30.74%, followed by the structural defect criterion (STR = 17.27%). The second method shows that the highest maintenance priority is assigned to manifold number 2, with a priority of 29.14%, followed by manifold number 10, with a priority of 13.28%.

Therefore, for the first time, this study investigated the abundance, distribution and chemical composition of MPs in rice of Bangladesh. Rice was assessed in raw and traditionally cooked form to estimate potential human exposure of MPs via rice in Bangladesh. 15 commonly consumed store-bought rice samples were analyzed for MPs contamination. Physical and chemical characteristics of MP's were detected using a stereomicroscope, and Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. MPs were detected in all samples, in raw rice the microplastic content was 67.20 ± 24.21 items/g and 32.47 ± 12.46 items/g in the cooked rice samples. Fragment shape, black and blue colour, and < 0.1 mm were the most prevalent characteristics observed. Nylon, nitrile, acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and multiple other polymers were detected in both types of samples. This study found that traditional cooking process in Bangladesh can significantly reduce MPs from rice. But the presence of MPs in rice is high comparing to other countries. According to per capita rice consumption, an adult Bangladeshi intake approximately 15,226.87 ± 5843.59 items of MPs daily via rice.

Therefore, the aim of this review is to conduct a systematic search to compile all relevant information. Additionally, we emphasize update legislation, providing recommendations, and offering future perspectives. The analysis showed that the majority of studies (72%) were conducted in Asia, primarily in China, followed by Europe and South America. Almost 60% of the species studied are marine, followed by aquaculture ones. The studies cover a wide geographical area, mainly focusing on species under high fishing pressure, needing sustainable management measures. Of the traditional extraction methods, enzymatic extraction produces the best results. However, this method is time- and energy-consuming.
