Exploring the Synergistic Effects of Heavy Metal contaminants on Aquatic Organisms
Abstract: Human activities have a profound effect on aquatic habitats by altering water and sediment quality, which in turn impacts resident organisms. These changes are primarily caused by pollutants from agricultural, industrial, and health-related sources. Industrial effluents, often containing hazardous heavy metals such as chromium, manganese, and lead, are a major source of environmental toxicity. The discharge of these pollutants makes water unsafe for drinking, irrigation, and industrial uses, necessitating effective …

Integration of IoT and Environmental Science: Vehicle Emission Monitoring Perspective
Abstract: — Since automobiles are the primary source of environmental pollution, an increase in automobile ownership also results in an increase in air pollution. Gases such as methane, butane, LPG, smoke (MQ2), carbon monoxide (MQ7), and hydrogen gas (MQ8) are all released from the vehicle as it smokes. Cars produce around half of the MQ2, MQ7, and one-fourth of the MQ9 in our environment, which contributes to global warming. The number …
