The Riverine Pollution-A Critical Review to Study the Water Quality and Pollution Load of Some Major Rivers of India
Abstract: Every life form on earth need water, which is one of the basic resources.. India is a country of rivers and some of the rivers are considered sacred and are associated with religious importance. However, the rapid increase in population, urbanization, and increased anthropogenic invasions has resulted in the deterioration of the water quality. Rivers are always seen as the easiest sinks to dispose of all kinds of wastes; hence …

Assessment of Acoustic Noise Generated from Machines in a Mechanical Workshop Using 1-Octave Band Frequency Analysis
Abstract: Acoustic noise is one of the prominent occupational health hazards, particularly in manufacturing and process industries. Prolonged exposure to loud noise can cause noise induced hearing loss of the exposed personnel. Limiting the exposure to noise intensity within its permissible exposure limit is adopted as one of the administrative control measures to reduce the risk of hearing loss. However, frequency specific assessment of occupational noise exposure is limited. Here, we …

Impact of Groundwater Pollution on Carcinogenic and Non-Carcinogenic Health Effects: A Review
Abstract: Groundwater is a critical source of drinking water in many regions worldwide, particularly in South and Southeast Asia, where dependence on untreated groundwater remains high. However, increasing groundwater contamination poses serious risks to human health. This review synthesizes recent peer-reviewed studies to examine the sources, distribution, and health impacts of major groundwater contaminants, with a focus on both carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic risks. Emphasis is placed on fluoride, nitrate, chromium, and …

Evaluation of Metal Pollution in Wetlands Using Fish as an Indicator
Abstract: The current study has attempted to document the heavy metal pollution in wetlands using fish as an indicator. Heavy metals are one of the most toxic, persistent and widespread groups of contaminants in aquatic systems. Their effects may often occur and remain unrecognized at the individual level but slowly, over a period of time, show up at a population level. Over a few decades globally there has been growing interest …

A Brief Overview of the Removal of Fluoride and Chromium Using Polymer Adsorbents
Abstract: Water tainted with heavy metals are the serious worldwide issues face today because of economic and industrial growth. Even at trace amounts, hexavalent chromium is a significant metal ion pollutant that is highly harmful to humans, animals, plants, and microbes. There are several methods for purifying water, but adsorption is one of the most straightforward, practical, and cost-effective approaches. Chromium is one such significant metal that may be released by …

Olfactory Intelligence in Bio-Hybrid UAVs: Integrating Living Lepidoptera Sensors for High-Precision Environmental Monitoring
Abstract: Autonomous aerial systems still face major challenges when attempting to locate airborne volatile organic compounds because many conventional gas sensors react slowly and cannot reliably follow turbulent chemical plumes. To address this limitation, a bio-hybrid sensing approach was explored using the antenna of the silkworm moth, Bombyx mori, as a natural chemical detector. The antenna was connected to an Electroantennogram (EAG) system that converts biological nerve signals into digital signals …
