Assessing People's Awareness of Environmental and Health Impacts of Straw Burning in Southeast Vietnam Through Factor Analysis and Proposing Sustainable Solutions.

Rice production in Southeast Vietnam generates a large amount of straw, which is often burnt directly in fields, causing air pollution and affecting community health. This study aims to assess the awareness of the environmental and health impacts of straw burning among farmers, students, and managers in the provinces of Tay Ninh, Binh Phuoc, and Dong Nai, Vietnam. We conducted a survey of 686 individuals, divided into 3 main groups: 349 farmers, 250 students, and 87 local government officials.

Modification of Hydrotalcite Loading Tannic Acid with Organic Silane and Application in Anticorrosive Epoxy Coating.

Metal corrosion is a challenge for the world with heavy impacts on the economy. Study on the development of effectiveness anticorrosion additives is a promising strategery for the protection industry. This research focuses on the modification of hydrotalcite Mg-Al (HT) loading tannic acid (TA) with 3-(trimethoxy silyl) propyl methacrylate organo-silane (TMSPM) for applicating as an anti-corrosion additive for epoxy coating on the steel substrate.

Ce/Ce-Doped ZrO/CuO Nanocomposite for Enhanced Photocatalytic Degradation of Methylene Blue under Visible Light.

In recent years, photocatalysis has been used as an environmentally friendly method for the degradation of organic pigments in water. In this study, Ce/Ce-doped ZrO/CuO as a mixed semiconductor oxide was successfully prepared by a one-step hydrothermal method. The Ce/Ce-doped ZrO/CuO has shown high degradation efficiency of methylene blue (MB), and the maximum degradation percentage was observed to be 94.

Facile Fabrication of Novel NiFeO@Carbon Composites for Enhanced Adsorption of Emergent Antibiotics.

Water purification is becoming one of the most pertinent environmental issues throughout the world. Among common types of water pollution involving heavy metals, pharmaceutical drugs, textile dyes, personal care products, and other persistent organic pollutants, the pollution of antibiotic drugs is increasingly emerging due to their adverse effects on microorganisms, aquatic animals, and human health. Therefore, the treatment of such contaminants is very necessary to reduce the concentration of antibiotic pollutants to permissible levels prior to discharge.
