Ethanolic extraction and GC-MS analysis of antioxidant and anticancer bioactive compounds from and .

Bioactive components used to treat human ailments are abundant in medicinal plants. and have therapeutic properties due to the presence of many phytonutrients. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) was used to evaluate the properties of the antioxidant and anticancer bioactive components found in the ethanolic extracts of and leaves.

Approaching a discussion on the detachment of chlorpyrifos in contaminated water using different leaves and peels as bio adsorbents.

The emerging contaminant chlorpyrifos, an insecticide, is generally used in agricultural fields to control termites, ants, and mosquitoes for the proper growth of feed and food crops. Chlorpyrifos reaches water sources for multiple reasons, and people who use water from nearby sources is exposed to chlorpyrifos. Due to its overuse in modern agriculture, the level of chlorpyrifos in water has drastically grown.

Plant mediated magnetic nano composite as promising scavenger's radionuclides for the efficient remediation in aqueous medium.

The present investigation demonstrates the environment friendly plant mediated green synthesis of magnetic bio composite nanoparticles by the chemical co-precipitation of magnetite phase from aqueous medium. Water contaminated with uranium is one of the most serious environmental issues. This study aims to overcome this issue by effectively adsorbing uranium from water at a pH range of 7.

COVID-19 and medicinal plants: A critical perspective.

On a global scale, the Coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) is having a direct and indirect effect on human lives, socioeconomic conditions, and the natural environment. The measures are taken to prevent the spread of coronavirus and slowdown of economic activities could have major short and long term effects on the natural ecosystem and climate in the coming days. Based on the current scientific studies, the present perspective intends to examine the possible direct and indirect impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the ecosystem particularly on medicinal plants.

Impact of lockdown during COVID-19 pandemic on annual effective dose equivalent values of natural gamma radiation.

The study aimed to determine the impact of COVID-19 on values of annual effective dose equivalent of the natural gamma dose rate of Balod, Durg and Bemetara districts of Chhattisgarh (India). COVID-19 is a severe problem for many countries and to control and prevent the spread of this problem, the lockdown approach has been implemented in many countries, including India. In this lockdown situation, almost all people stay at home for 24 h.
