Heavy Metal Exposure in Industrial Workers of Punjab

By Stephen Monday, Atul Khajuria, Eric Kwasi Elliason, Gagan, J. Samuel Kamanda

Abstract: Background: Particularly for those in sectors such textiles, metallurgy, and electronics, heavy metal exposure in industrial environments is a major health issue. A range of negative health effects can result from metal exposure including lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), arsenic (As), and nickel (Ni), including neurological, pulmonary, and renal ones. There is little information available on the degree of heavy metal exposure industrial workers in Punjab, India experience. Objective: …

Fabrication and Assessment of Tribological Performance of Nickel-Graphene-MXene Hybrid Nano-composites

By Shams Tabrez, Sudesh Singh, Vineet Kumar, Kumresh Kumar Gaur, Avinash Ravi Raja

Abstract: As industries such as aerospace, automotive, defence, and electronics demand materials with superior wear resistance, high strength, and thermal stability, traditional metals are reaching their performance limits. Hybrid nanocomposites offer a pathway to meet these stringent requirements. In this study, novel Nickel-Graphene-MXene hybrid nanocomposites were fabricated using a powder metallurgy route, incorporating varying weight percentages (up to 2 wt.%) of MXene and 1 wt.% graphene nanosheets into a nickel matrix …

Synthesis, Characterization and Antibacterial Evaluation of Novel Canola Oil-Based Poly-(Citrate/Succinate)-amide Incorporated with Zn (II) and Ni (II) Metal Ions

By Juhi Gupta, Md. Ikbal Ahmed Talukdar, Archana Chakravarty, Nitu Singh, Janesh Gautam, Suresh Sagadevan, Athar A. Hashmi

Abstract: This present research study is to fabricate efficient metal-incorporated Canola oil (CO) polymers synthesised using dicarboxylic acids – Citric acid (CA) and Succinic acid (SA). The research mainly highlights the fabrication of polymeric materials using CO via a safer chemical synthesis route with less toxic reactants and minimal solvent/diluent to accomplish sustainability, adopting the green chemistry principle. Divalent Zinc (Zn) and Nickel (Ni) were incorporated in the poly-(Citrate/Succinate)-amide matrix, Ni …
