Degradation of Building Materials by Corrosive Pollutants
Abstract: Fiber reinforced polymers (FRP) is used for the corrosion suppression of reinforced concrete structures (RCS). One of the main issues with reinforced concrete constructions is corrosion. It interacts with acids, alkalis and salts to produce disintegration in building materials components. Pollutants and effluents speed up disbanding inside and outside reinforced structures. Bio-wastes come in contact of building materials to develop miro and macro-organism and these organisms release acid substances to …

Study the Impact of Corrosive Pollutants on Building Materials Corrosion
Abstract: Reinforced concrete structures (RCS) may be made more resistant to corrosion by using fiber reinforced polymers (FRP). One of the primary concerns with reinforced concrete constructions is corrosion. It causes disintegration in building material components by interactions with salts, acids, and alkalis. Both within and outside of reinforced properties, pollutants and effluents accelerate disbanding. When bio-waste and building materials come into contact, microorganisms and macro organisms, grow and emit acid …

Corrosion and Corrosion Protection of Cast iron due to Bio-organism
Abstract: Cast iron is a high tensile strength metal. It is generally used for making tools, pipe fitting, electrical fitting equipment and rail track. It interacts with corrosive substances to develop electrochemical cell on their interface. Corrosive substances are acids, bases, salts, bio-wastes, particulates and pollutants. These substances produce hostile medium for materials. These harmful wastes discharge by industries, households, agricultural, urbanization, development of infrastructure, construction works, thermal power stations, hydropower, …

Hemoglobin is the Breath of Life within Our Cells: An Update
Abstract: Hemoglobin is a fascinating protein found in human red blood cells. This specialist protein carries oxygen from your lungs to every cell in your body, functioning as a little delivery system. While hemoglobin’s stronghold on oxygen is necessary, releasing it at the right time is a delicate challenge. This adaptable protein masterfully balances holding on to its oxygen cargo or releasing it swiftly. This article explores how hemoglobin achieves this …

Development of a Low-Cost Air Quality Monitoring System Using the MQ2 Sensor
Abstract: Air pollution is becoming a major environmental problem, especially in cities, due to the quick expansion of industry and the rise in car emissions. The air is contaminated with dangerous chemicals such as carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, and fine particles, which have a major negative influence on human health by raising the risk of heart and respiratory diseases. Because of their dense populations and heavy traffic, urban areas are particularly …

Experimental Investigation on Nitrogen Oxides Air Pollutant Reduction Characteristics of Cement Mortar Using Sustainable Photocatalytic Material
Abstract: Emissions of nitrogen oxide (NOx) should be diminished to address the facts of urban air pollution and its health and environmental consequences. This study explores the potential of NOx reduction of photovoltaic pollutants in cement mortar using titanium dioxide (TiO2) as a photovoltaic material. NOx is one of the major pollutants of urban air, related to the problems of smog and acid rain, with serious health hazards. The study focuses …

Multifunctional Car Covering System
Abstract: Traditional car covers are heavy, consume much space, and are not suitable for today’s advanced generation. They fail to meet the evolving necessities of modern vehicle protection. Often, they are operated manually, offer minimal security, and lack advanced features such as automated deployment or integrated maintenance systems. To address these problems and limitations, this project introduces an innovative and multifunctional smart car covering system powered by a wiper-like mechanism and …

Seasonal Variations of Air Quality Measures In Warri and Effurun, Delta State, Nigeria.
Abstract: Air quality in Urban Cities like Warri and Effurun has been deteriorating over time. The distribution levels of air pollutants in the Warri and Effurun environments may be related to both natural and man-made factors. In addition to evaluating the quality of rainwater with regard to pH, heavy metals (Fe, Pb, Cd, As, Hg, CU, Zn), and some anions (Cl-, NO3-, SO42-, CO32-), this project study aims to investigate, using …
