Radionuclides, emanating as consequential by-products of nuclear operations, are recognized as a potent source of environmentally deleterious contamination. In light of these concerns, the present investigation has employed unmodified natural pumice within a batch process to effectuate the removal of Cs-137 radionuclides from real liquid radioactive wastes (RLRWs). The discernment of optimal adsorption parameters encompassed a pH level of 5, a pumice dosage of 3.

- Recent studies developed a GG-AG hydrogel incorporating g-CN and ZnCuFeO nanoparticles to enhance its mechanical properties and introduce antibacterial effects.
- Characterization techniques confirmed the nanobiocomposite's spherical morphology, high biocompatibility (over 95% for 72 hours), and strong inhibition of Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm growth (87% suppression).
- With its excellent mechanical properties, swelling capability (93.2% water uptake), and superior antibacterial activity, this nanobiocomposite shows promise for biomedical applications like tissue engineering and wound healing.
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAHs) are part of particulate matter (PM), which is produced from incomplete combustion of organic matter. Biomarkers mean biological indicators, molecules that indicate a normal or abnormal process in the body and may be a sign of a condition or disease. Studies show that PAHs increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases through processes such as oxidative stress, inflammation and atherosclerosis.

- The widespread use of antibiotics has led to bacterial resistance, highlighting the need for new antimicrobial compounds.
- A new hydrogel polymer called Cu/DPA-MOF/OP/CS, made from biodegradable materials like pectin and chitosan, has been synthesized and demonstrated effective antimicrobial properties.
- Testing showed that this novel hydrogel is effective against various bacterial and fungal strains, with minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) ranging from 16 to 512 mg/mL, outperforming some commercial antibiotics.
Background: Several physical factors such as photon beam energy, electron beam energy, and dose rate may affect the dosimetric properties of polymer gel dosimeters. The photon beam energy and dose rate dependence of PASSAG gel dosimeter were previously evaluated.
Objective: This study aims to assess the dosimetric properties of the optimized PASSAG gel samples in various electron beam energies.
