Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the effects of a hexane extract from the latex of Euphorbia umbellata on leukemic cells using various analytical methods including NMR and GC/MS.
- The dichloromethane and ethanol fractions showed significant sensitivity against HL-60 leukemic cells, along with induced apoptosis and morphological changes.
- Results indicated a strong selectivity index (over 22.44) for the dichloromethane fraction, suggesting the presence of compounds that enhance anti-leukemic activity through apoptosis pathways.
Researchers have paid particular attention to the disposal of sludge produced in water treatment plants (WTPs) into wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) for further processing, mainly because it is considered an attractive alternative for the treatment of waste generated in water production processes. This study evaluated the effects of flow equalization and disposal of sludge, from a conventional WTP, into a WWTP system that includes an anaerobic stabilization pond followed by a facultative pond. During the period of sludge discharge from the WTP into the wastewater system, the influent to the WWTP presented an increase of 17% (from 171 to 200 mg L(-1)) of total suspended solids (TSS) and a 7.
