Pollution status of microplastics in the sediments of warm monomictic Dal lake, India: Abundance, composition, and risk assessment.

This report presents the first investigation of microplastic (MP) contamination in the shoreline sediments of Dal Lake, Jammu and Kashmir, India. The MP concentrations ranged from 503 to 3154 MP/kg, with a notable seasonal variation. The highest concentrations of microplastics occurred in the Spring, ranging from 467 to 3445 MP/kg.

Human exposure to uranium through drinking water and its detrimental impact on the human body organs.

Human exposure to high concentrations of uranium is a major concern due to the risk of developing numerous internal organ malignancies over time. In addition to the numerous attributes of uranium in the nuclear power industry, the radiological characteristics and chemical toxicity of uranium present a substantial risk to human health. This study aims to evaluate potential negative health impacts associated with the ingestion of uranium through drinking water in the Noida and Greater Noida region within the Gautam Buddha districts of Uttar Pradesh (India), due to extreme industrial revolution in this geological location.

Satellite or ground-based measurements for air pollutants (PM, PM, SO, NO, O) data and their health hazards: which is most accurate and why?

Air pollution is growing at alarming rates on regional and global levels, with significant consequences for human health, ecosystems, and change in climatic conditions. The present 12 weeks (4 October 2021, to 26 December 2021) study revealed the different ambient air quality parameters, i.e.

Sensitivity of normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) to land surface temperature, soil moisture and precipitation over district Gautam Buddh Nagar, UP, India.

This study examines the trends in MODIS/TERRA derived Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and its correlation with Land Surface Temperature (LST), Soil Moisture (SM), and precipitation over Gautam Buddh Nagar (India), during the period 2005-2018. The region have a sub-humid and quite moderate climate, scattered into cultivable land, forest and fast growing urbanization zone, making it suitable for monitoring vegetation trends and its accompanying factors. The NDVI-derived vegetation growth patterns over the study region of District Gautam Buddh Nagar, illustrate vigorous seasonal cycles, and interannual variations.
