Article Synopsis
- * Lettuce exposed to varying concentrations of CuO-NPs showed significant copper accumulation and notable changes in metabolite profiles, including increased phenolic acids and decreased flavonoids, indicating stress responses.
- * Key metabolites related to energy and carbohydrate metabolism were enhanced, while others linked to stress resistance were reduced at high CuO-NP concentrations, signaling potential negative effects on plant growth and health.
Water contamination by arsenic (As) is widespread and is posing serious health threats globally. Hence, As removal techniques/adsorbents need to be explored to minimize potentials hazards of drinking As-contaminated waters. A column scale sorption experiment was performed to assess the potential of three biosorbents (tea waste, wheat straw and peanut shells) to remove As (50, 100, 200 and 400 µg L) from aqueous medium at a pH range of 5-8.

The present study aimed to evaluate health and ecological risks associated with trace element accumulation in Brassica oleracea under wastewater irrigations from three different areas. This study, for the first time, compared the pros and cons of mixed water crop irrigation (wastewater with fresh/groundwater).

- The popularity of backyard poultry farming has risen in France, prompting a survey of 1,160 owners to understand their motivations and management practices.
- The primary reasons for keeping poultry included egg consumption, recycling waste, and companionship, with most owners primarily raising egg-layers.
- The findings revealed significant gaps in biosecurity practices among owners, alongside distinct flock profiles categorized by characteristics and motivations, such as urban and traditional poultry.
Plant redox homeostasis governs the uptake, toxicity and tolerance mechanism of toxic trace elements and thereby elucidates the remediation potential of a plant. Moreover, plant toxicity/tolerance mechanisms control the trace element compartmentation in edible and non-edible plant organs as well as the associated health hazards. Therefore, it is imperative to unravel the cellular mechanism involved in trace element toxicity and tolerance.
