Maternal and Infant Pollutant Exposure through Breastfeeding in Industrial Punjab
Abstract: Because of their lasting presence, bioaccumulation in the food chain and/or potential for transferring to infants through breastfeeding, environmentally persistent chemical pollutants, such as per- and polyfluoroalkyl compounds (PFAs), pesticides, heavy metals and industrial emissions, represent significant public health threats. A study was conducted using a structured questionnaire to gather information about maternal demographics (age, education, marital status), how mothers were exposed to environmental contaminants through occupational activities, the ways …

Isolation, Purification, and Identification of Antibiotic-Resistant Bacterial Strain from Food Stuffs
Abstract: The widespread presence of bacteria in foodstuffs poses significant trouble to health and food safety. Pathogens in consumable products increases the transmission of resistance genes to human, potentially compromising the efficacy of conventional antibiotics. This study aims to isolate, purify, and identify antibiotic-resistant bacterial strains from food items, meals, and vegetables. The investigation employed selective culture techniques, antibiotic susceptibility assays, and molecular identification methods to detect and characterize resistant strains. …

Understanding the Role of Remote Sensing Techniques in Monitoring Air Quality for Effective Adherence to Environmental Impact Assessment Practices in Nigeria
Abstract: The paper reviews the Nigerian Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Act, outlining the established air quality thresholds and emission caps for stationary sources. The standard applies to; common pollutants like sulphur dioxide, carbon monoxide, ozone, particulate matter and nitrogen oxides; toxic metals such as arsenic, nickel, cadmium and mercury; as well as volatile organic compounds, ammonia, antimony, zinc, formaldehyde and radon.It also describes the major classifications of remote sensing applications, including …
