The study used the AirQ + software developed by the World Health Organization (WHO) to evaluate the health impacts associated with long-term exposure to PM in Mashhad, Iran. For this purpose, we analyzed the daily average concentrations of PM (with a diameter of 2.5 micrometers or less) registered by the air quality monitoring stations from 2016 to 2021.

Tetracycline (TTC) is an antibiotic that can be absorbed by MPs and have a harmful effect on human health. Therefore, this study was conducted with the aim of investigating the adsorption rate of TTC onto polyvinyl chloride (PVC) MPs.

We integrated the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and the Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to the Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) to prioritize the alternatives for photocatalytic diazinon removal in a bench scale and characterized TiO-MIL-53(Fe) for this purpose. Criteria and alternatives were listed based on systematic literature reviews and expert opinions.

This quantitative systematic review was conducted to shed light on the various aspects of photocatalytic diazinon removal based on evidence. A systematic search was performed in Scopus, PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and Ovid databases with keywords including diazinon, photocatalysis, and their equivalents.
