Eugenol Prevents Sodium Nitrate-induced Altered Antioxidant Status of Spermatozoa: An In Vitro Study
Abstract: Background: High level of nitrate (NO3) induces oxidative stress which affects the male and female reproductive system. In this regard, there is a great concern for the prevention of NO3-induced oxidative stress in the reproductive system by using herbal products. Eugenol is one such natural product found in clove extracted from cloves (Syzygium aromaticum) and is known for its antioxidant, anti-nociceptive, anti-inflammatory, and anti-apoptotic properties. Aim and Objectives: The present …

Risk Assessment of Nitration Process Using HAZOP and Fault Tree
Abstract: The present study addresses the safety issues associated with the nitration reactions. Since the nitration reaction is highly exothermic in nature exhibiting intense heat during the operation and may explode if wrongly handled, the risk assessment of nitration reaction is absolutely necessary. In the present work, the production of Ortho Nitro Chloro Benzene (ONCB) and Para Nitro Chloro Benzene (PNCB) is considered to perform the risk assessment of the nitration …

Sources and Health Effects of Arsenic, Fluoride, and Nitrate in Water
Abstract: Arsenic, fluoride, and nitrate are major inorganic contaminants in water that pose significant risks to human health. These contaminants are introduced into water sources through both natural geological processes and human activities. Arsenic is primarily released from arsenic-bearing minerals through weathering, dissolution, and erosion, while human activities such as agriculture, mining, and fossil fuel combustion further enhance its presence in water. Fluoride contamination mainly results from the dissolution of fluoride-bearing …

Effect of Short-term Exposure of Agrochemical Constituents (Nitrate, Nitrite, Phosphate and Potassium) on Survival of Fingerlings of Guppy Fish, Poecilia reticulata
Abstract: Increased use of agrochemicals enhances eutrophication and thereby inducing hypoxic condition which adversely affects aquatic flora and fauna. Present study was aimed to investigate the effects of short-term exposure of different concentration of nitrate (NO3), nitrite (NO2), phosphate (PO4) and potassium (K) on survival of Guppy fish, Poecilia reticulata. Fingerlings of Poecilia reticulata were exposed to increasing concentration (1, 10, 100, 1,000 and 10,000 mg/L) of NO3, NO2, PO4 andK …

Use of Nitrates and Sulphates as Hydrogen Sink in Reducing Enteric Methane Production
Abstract: AbstractMethane (CH4) and other gases like carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrous oxide (N2O), are green house gases (GHGs) that aggravates the effects of solar and thermal radiation on surface and atmospheric temperature. CH4 is the second largest GHG having 21 times more heat generation potential than CO2. Global livestock agriculture was responsible for 18% of the anthropogenic GHG emissions annually. CH4 production in the rumen accounts for 2–12 % loss of …
