The widespread presence of antibiotics in aquatic environments, resulting from excessive use and accumulation, has raised significant concerns. A NiFe₂O₄/ZnIn₂S₄/Biochar (NFO/ZIS/BC) magnetic nanocomposite was successfully synthesized, demonstrating significantly enhanced electron-hole separation properties. Comprehensive investigations were conducted to evaluate the impact of various parameters, including catalyst mass, pH, and the presence of co-existing ions on the composite's performance.

- Methadone and buprenorphine are commonly used to treat opioid dependence in pregnant women, but prenatal opioid exposure can harm fetal development and lead to long-term effects.
- This study investigates how prenatal exposure to these substances affects the behavior of young rats, focusing on cognitive function, social interaction, anxiety, and locomotor activity.
- Results show that both methadone and buprenorphine, like morphine, impair cognitive and social behaviors in offspring, but they may pose a lower risk for developing anxiety disorders compared to morphine.
