Food Packaging Chemicals and Human Health: Molecular Toxicity, Exposure Pathways, and Regulatory Perspectives
Abstract: Food packaging plays a vital role in preserving food quality, extending shelf life, and ensuring safe transportation. However, increasing evidence indicates that chemicals from packaging materials can migrate into food during processing, storage, and consumption, resulting in chronic human exposure. Several food packaging chemicals, including bisphenols, phthalates, per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), styrene, heavy metals, and non-intentionally added substances (NIAS), have emerged as important xenobiotics due to their potential adverse …

A Study on Chemical Composition in Temperature Sensor
Abstract: As the demand for precision thermal monitoring in extreme environments – such as aerospace propulsion systems and micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) – continues to escalate, the chemical stability of temperature sensing elements has become a critical focal point. This study investigates the correlation between the chemical composition of thin-film resistance temperature detectors (RTDs) and their operational longevity under thermal cycling. By employing X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) and Energy-Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDS), …

Land surface dynamics: A Multiphysics Approach to Modeling Mass Transport
Abstract: Land surface dynamics are governed by complex interactions among hydrological, atmospheric, and geomorphological processes that collectively drive the transport of mass across terrestrial environments. Traditional modeling approaches often isolate individual mechanisms, limiting their ability to capture the coupled feedbacks that shape landscape evolution. This study presents a multiphysics framework for modeling mass transport on land surfaces, integrating fluid flow, sediment transport, heat exchange, and chemical reactions within a unified computational …

Advancements in Polymeric Capillary Materials for Chromatographic Applications
Abstract: Traditionally, glass capillaries have been the material of choice due to their inertness, transparency, and precision in delivering small sample volumes. However, glass capillaries have significant drawbacks, including fragility, limited flexibility, and difficulties in modification for specialized applications. Recent advancements in polymer chemistry have introduced novel polymeric capillary materials that offer several advantages over conventional glass capillaries. Additionally, they exhibit enhanced durability and resistance to a broad range of chemicals, …

A Review on Metal Inert Gas Welding of Dissimilar Steels
Abstract: Joining of dissimilar metals has found its use extensively in power generation, electronic, nuclear reactors, petrochemical and chemical industries due to environmental concerns, energy saving, high performance, cost saving and so on. However efficient welding of dissimilar metals has posed a major challenge due to difference in thermal, mechanical and chemical properties of the materials to be joined under a common welding condition. This causes a steep gradient of the …

Surfactant-Mediated Synthesis and Stabilization of Colloidal Nanoparticles in Aqueous Media: A Preliminary Study on Controlling Parameters
Abstract: Surfactants dissolved in water possess a distinctive tendency to accumulate at surfaces or interfaces, a process that involves the migration of surfactant molecules from the bulk liquid phase to the interfacial region. This adsorption tendency of surfactants is being exploited in stabilization of the Nanoparticles (NPs) synthesized through colloidal chemistry routes. In present research, preliminary studies on controlling parameters involving various surfactants has been carried out to standardized the chemical …

Environmental Pollutants and Biodiversity Loss: Analyzing the Role of Persistent Organic Pollutants in Ecosystem Decline
Abstract: Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) significantly impact biodiversity, with various factors influencing their effects on species and ecosystems. Species in poor body condition, like carnivores and predators, are more vulnerable to POPs due to weakened immune systems and reduced detoxification abilities. Dietary habits also affect the accumulation of POPs, as chemicals biomagnify up the food chain. Carnivores accumulate higher concentrations, leading to reproductive failures, hormonal imbalances, and death, while herbivores face …

Photovoltaic Cell Powered Water Purifier for Flood Affected and Polluted Areas
Abstract: AbstractThe lack of clean drinking water was a serious issue in many areas of Kerala during the flood. According to the Kerala migration survey (KMS), 90% of water supply in Malappuram was affected as around 31 schemes stopped functioning due to power failure and flood and around 60% water supply was affected in Palakkad and Kozhikode. People were depending upon bottled water at that time. Here lies the importance of …

Recent Trends in Heavy Metal Pollution of Groundwater: A Review
Abstract: Heavy metal pollution in groundwater has emerged as a major environmental and public health concern worldwide due to its persistence, toxicity, and potential for bioaccumulation. Rapid industrialisation, urban expansion, intensive agriculture, mining activities, and improper waste disposal have significantly increased the release of heavy metals into subsurface environments. Groundwater, being a primary source of drinking water in many regions, is particularly vulnerable to contamination, posing serious risks to human health …
