Comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis of microplastic prevalence and abundance in freshwater fish species: the effect of fish species habitat, feeding behavior, and Fulton's condition factor.

Unlabelled: Microplastics are emerging pollutants that cause health problems for aquatic organisms. Fish is one of the important organisms because of its consumption by humankind. The present study examines the abundance and prevalence of microplastics in freshwater fish species through a systematic review study while considering five important factors, i.

Revealing nature's beauty through crafting structural color-coated fabrics with bioinspired modification of MXene.

In recent years, there has been a notable shift towards the use of structural colors in textile dyeing, replacing traditional chemical dyes. This change is primarily attributed to the increasing popularity of structural colors due to their eco-friendly characteristics. In thus study, SiO particles underwent modification with PDA and TiCT (MXene) to establish a core-shell structure, resulting in MSiO/PDA@MXene photonic crystals characterized by electrostatic assembly and hydrogen bonding.

Harnessing synergy: Polydopamine-hBN integration in electrospun nanofibers for Co (II) ion, methylene blue and crystal violet dyes adsorption.

In today's world, major pollutants, such as cationic dyes and heavy metals, pose a serious threat to human health and the environment. In this study, a novel adsorbent was created through the electrospinning of polyvinyl alcohol/polyacrylic acid (PVA/PAA), incorporated with hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) coated with polydopamine (PDA). The integration of hBN and PDA substantially enhanced the adsorption capacity of the PVA/PAA fibers, making them highly effective in adsorbing cationic dyes such as methylene blue and crystal violet, as well as cobalt (II) ions, from contaminated water.

A Review of Current Achievements and Recent Challenges in Bacterial Medium-Chain-Length Polyhydroxyalkanoates: Production and Potential Applications.

Using petroleum-derived plastics has contributed significantly to environmental issues, such as greenhouse gas emissions and the accumulation of plastic waste in ecosystems. Researchers have focused on developing ecofriendly polymers as alternatives to traditional plastics to address these concerns. This review provides a comprehensive overview of medium-chain-length polyhydroxyalkanoates (mcl-PHAs), biodegradable biopolymers produced by microorganisms that show promise in replacing conventional plastics.

Removal of most frequent microplastic types and sizes in secondary effluent using Al(SO): choosing variables by a fuzzy Delphi method.

Microplastics (MPs) as an emerging pollutant can affect aquatic organisms through physical ingestion, chemical problems and possible creation of biological layers on their surfaces in the environment. One of the significant ways for MPs to enter the aquatic environment is through the effluent discharge of wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). In this study, first, the concentration and characteristics of MPs in secondary wastewater effluent, and the influential variables related to the coagulation process, for MPs removal were identified using systematic reviews of previous studies.

Microplastics removal from aquatic environment by coagulation: Selecting the best coagulant based on variables determined from a systematic review.

The present study was carried out in the two phases of systematic review and experimental research. First, for the systematic review phase, Web of Science, Scopus, and PubMed as electronic databases were utilized to find research articles distributed up to March 5, 2021, related to the removal of microplastics by coagulation. In total, 104 publications were found, of which 14 were reviewed for deriving the variables and research design.

Tracking microplastics contamination in drinking water in Zahedan, Iran: From source to consumption taps.

Microplastics (MPs) that pollute drinking water are inherently toxic, act as an adsorbent of hazardous pollutants, and threaten human health. So, the fate of microplastics in drinking water from the source to consumption taps (CTs) was assessed in spring and winter in Zahedan city in Iran. Sampling was performed from 4 reservoirs (raw water), before and after two water treatment plants (WTPs), and 10 CTs.

The effect of size distribution of ambient air particulate matter on oxidative potential by acellular method Dithiothreitol; a systematic review.

Unlabelled: Today air pollution caused by particulate matter (PM) is a global issue, especially in densely populated and high-traffic cities. The formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) by various toxicological studies is considered as one of the important effects caused by airborne particles that can lead to adverse effects on human health. In this study, to answer the question of whether particle size affects oxidative potential (OP), we searched the main databases, including PubMed, Scopus, Embase, and Web of Science, and defined search strategy based on the MESH terms for the above-mentioned search engines.

Evaluation of conventional wastewater treatment plants efficiency to remove microplastics in terms of abundance, size, shape, and type: A systematic review and Meta-analysis.

In the present study Web of Science, Scopus, and PubMed as electronic databases were used to find work published up to October 27, 2020 about microplastics evaluation in conventional wastewater treatment plants. In total, 407 publications were found, of which 77 were eligible for meta-analysis. A comprehensive meta-analysis was undertaken to evaluate the relevant publications regarding microplastics abundance.

Blood lead level monitoring related to environmental exposure in the general Iranian population: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Exposure to lead can cause adverse health problems incorporating hypophosphatemia, heart and liver disease, cancers, neurological and cardiovascular diseases, central nervous disorders, and sensory disorders. This study investigated the blood lead level in the general Iranian population with environmental exposure to lead.
