A comprehensive Review on the Impact of Aquatic Pollution on Fish
Abstract: Freshwater is one of the most important natural resources that are used for various activities in our daily lives. Here, 70% of our Nation’s liquid freshwater is unfit for consumption. Effect of heavy metals on hydrophobicity provides general information about the distribution of heavy metals in the atmosphere from different sources around the world, such as atmospheric precipitation, river and lake sediments. Human activities such as chemicals are increasing day …

New Generation Waste Material as Sustainable Ingredient in Concrete: An Experimental Approach
Abstract: E-waste, including devices like phones and computers, poses serious environmental risks. To mitigate these, the construction industry is exploring e-waste as a material to enhance concrete strength and durability. Hence, the present study assesses the performance of M40-grade high-strength concrete by replacing coarse aggregates with 0% to 30% e-waste plastics at various intervals. As the e-waste replacement increased, fresh concrete's workability decreased gradually. The mix containing 30% e-waste experienced the …

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 …
