Air pollution has become the most important environmental and human health threat as it is accounting for about 7 million deaths across the globe every year. Particulate matter (PM) derived from the combustion of fossil fuels, biomass, and other agricultural residues pollutes the atmospheric air which affects the quality of the environment and poses a great threat to human health. Ecological imbalance, climatic variation, and cardiovascular and respiratory problems among humans are significant extortions due to PM pollution.

Existing water and wastewater treatment techniques are becoming increasingly difficult to employ due to the discovery of new toxins, the rapid development of population and industrial activities, and the limited quantity of water resources. Treatment of wastewater is a critical need in modern civilization due to a scarcity of water resources and rising industrial activity. Some of the techniques utilized include adsorption, flocculation, filtration, and others, although they are only used for primary wastewater treatment.

There are numerous elements of daily life where plastic is employed, yet it is uncertain exactly when it will deteriorate. Poly-(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB), a biodegradable polymer, is viewed as a possible substitute for synthetic plastics made from petroleum. With Pseudomonas putida SS9, the current study sought to enhance operational conditions and nutritional factors to enhance PHB production.

Green Manganese Ferrite (GMF) and Chemical mediated Manganese Ferrite (CMF) were designed and prepared via in situ co-precipitation method and their adsorption potential was compared using the model dye, Metanil Yellow (MY). Previously, an extract of aquatic macrophyte and metal chloride were employed for the development of ecofriendly GMF. Alternatively, CMF has been synthesized through chemical co-precipitation from metal chloride precursors.

In the present investigation, we report that statistical design and optimization of significant variables for the microbial production of citric acid from sucrose in presence of filamentous fungi NCIM 705. Various combinations of experiments were designed with Central Composite Design (CCD) of Response Surface Methodology (RSM) for the production of citric acid as a function of six variables. The variables are; initial sucrose concentration, initial pH of medium, fermentation temperature, incubation time, stirrer rotational speed, and oxygen flow rate.
