Micro and nano plastics in food: A review on the strategies for identification, isolation, and mitigation through photocatalysis, and health risk assessment.

Over the past few years, it has become increasingly evident that microplastic pollutant heavily contaminates water sources, posing a potential threat to both human and wildlife. These plastic pollutants do not get degraded efficiently by natural processes and the existing traditional treatment methods are incapable of fully eradicating them. In this regard, degradation of microplastic contaminants through photocatalytic methods has emerged as a powerful technique.

Heat stress and adverse pregnancy outcome: Prospective cohort study.

Objective: To explore the relationship between occupational heat exposure, physiological heat strain indicators and adverse outcomes in pregnant women.

Design: Prospective cohort.

Setting: Workplaces in Tamil Nadu, India.

Visual morbidity and spectrum of ophthalmic changes in pregnancy induced hypertension.

Aim: To determine the prevalence of ocular changes in pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH) and co-relate the ophthalmic changes and severity of the disease with visual outcome.

Methods And Material: This is a retrospective study conducted from a hospital-based cohort of pregnant women, who delivered from June 2018 to December 2020. A total of 153 patients who fulfilled the diagnostic criteria of PIH admitted in the obstetric ward were included in this study.

Ionic Liquid-Reduced Graphene Oxide Membrane with Enhanced Stability for Water Purification.

There has been a growing interest in water purification by graphene oxide (GO) laminate membranes due to their exceptional hydrophilicity, high throughput, and extraordinary separation performance originating from their two-dimensional and well-defined nanostructure. However, the swelling and stability in an aqueous environment are areas of concern for the GO laminate membranes. Here, a novel methylimidazolium ionic liquid-reduced GO (mimG)-assembled GO laminate membrane (mimG-GO) with remarkable stability was fabricated by a vacuum-assisted strategy for water purification.
