In the developing field of nanotechnology, ZnO (zinc oxide) based semiconductor samples have emerged as the foremost choice due to their immense potential for advancing the development of cutting-edge nanodevices. Due to its excellent chemical stability, low cost, and non-toxicity to biological systems, it is also utilized in various investigations. In this study, the successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR) method was used to generate FTO (fluorine-doped tin oxide)/ZnO, and tin (Sn)-copper (Cu)-doped ZnO thin films at varying concentrations on FTO substrates.

- Contamination of drinking water in Sibi district, Balochistan, with arsenic and fluoride poses significant health risks, leading to illnesses like dental fluorosis and dermatitis among residents.
- The study used questionnaires, examinations, and data analysis to identify the sources and health impacts of these contaminants, finding high levels in both surface and groundwater.
- Results indicated that while some groundwater samples were within safe limits, many exceeded WHO standards, resulting in severe health issues for the local population, including fluorosis and skin conditions.
