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 …

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 …

Treated Sewage in Fish Farming and Ecological Challenges
Abstract: The use of treated sewage in fish farming presents a sustainable and cost-effective approach towards resource conservation and aquaculture productivity. Treated sewage is enriched with essential nutrients, like nitrogen and phosphorus, which supports the growth of aquatic plants and phytoplankton. These are vital components of aquaculture ecosystems. This practice reduces freshwater dependency and mitigates waste disposal challenges as well as aligns with circular economy principles. Pilot projects in China and …

White-Rot Fungi-Based Bioprocessing for Circular Bioeconomy & Valorization of Lignocellulosic Waste
Abstract: The escalating global demand for sustainable resource management and the imperative to reduce dependence on fossil-based products have positioned the circular bioeconomy as a transformative paradigm for the 21st century. Lignocellulosic biomass, generated abundantly as agricultural and forestry residues, constitutes one of the most underexploited renewable carbon sources on Earth, yet its recalcitrant structure, interlinking cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin, has long impeded its efficient valorization. White-rot fungi (WRF), predominantly belonging …
