Citrus is one of the main fruit crops cultivated in tropical and subtropical regions worldwide. Approximately half (40-47%) of the fruit mass is inedible and discarded as waste after processing, which causes pollution to the environment. Essential oils (EOs) are aromatic compounds found in significant quantities in oil sacs or oil glands present in the leaves, flowers, and fruit peels (mainly the flavedo part).

- Intestinal protozoan parasites, particularly Entamoeba histolytica, are major causes of diarrheal diseases, especially in regions with poor sanitation and limited access to clean water, like India.
- A systematic review of studies from 2001-2020 analyzed 64 articles and found that the prevalence of amoebiasis in India varies significantly, with notable rates in Tamil Nadu and the North East, affecting both symptomatic and asymptomatic populations.
- The study emphasizes the need for improved public health measures and diagnostic methods to manage amoebiasis, as it can lead to serious complications that increase healthcare burdens.
This paper aims to investigate and map the spatial distribution of urban green spaces (UGSs) in Bathinda City, India. Since urban green spaces affect the quality of life and provide various ecological, socio-cultural and economic benefits to a city, the spatial distribution of UGSs and per capita availability deserve greater consideration in urban planning and research. The UGSs are extracted from freely available Sentinel 2 image with spatial resolutions of 10 m (blue, green, red, and near infrared bands).
