A green synthetic approach to synthesize silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using the stem extract of for highly sensitive colorimetric detection of Hg with a low limit of detection of 23 nM and easy colorimetric read-out has been reported. In addition, the biosynthesized AgNPs demonstrated efficient antibacterial activity against , and . The morphology and structure of the as-synthesized AgNPs were examined using SEM, TEM, EDX, XRD and FT-IR analyses.

We applied a health impact assessment methodology with the global exposure mortality model and a PM map with 3 × 3 km resolution derived from multiple data sources. The annual average PM concentration for each grid ranged from 22.
