Elucidating the Environmental and Health Risks of Trace Element Pollution in Red Sea Fish from Nuweiba City, Aqaba Gulf, Egypt.

Trace element bioaccumulation in marine organisms is a rising international issue due to possible health concerns for humans. Thirteen trace elements were analyzed in the sediment, water, and muscular tissue of Red Sea fish. Additionally, the average daily intake (EDI), the cancer risk (CR), the hazard index (HI), and the target hazard quotient (THQ) of those elements have been taken into consideration when evaluating any possible health concerns related to their consumption.

Assessment of toxicity and antimicrobial performance of polymeric inorganic coagulant and evaluation for eutrophication reduction.

In this study, the efficacy of the promising iron-based polymeric inorganic coagulant (POFC) was assessed for the reduction of eutrophication effect (freshwater toxicity) and the microbial loads from wastewater. Toxicity assessment for POFC was conducted on mice and skin cell lines. The results confirm the lower toxicity level of POFC.

Bioremoval of heavy metals from aqueous solution using dead biomass of indigenous fungi derived from fertilizer industry effluents: isotherm models evaluation and batch optimization.

The present work investigated the utilization of dead biomass of the highly multi-heavy metals tolerant indigenous fungal strain NRCA8 isolated from the mycobiome of fertilizer industry effluents that containing multiple heavy metal ions at high levels to remove Pb, Ni, Zn, and Mn as multiple solutes from multi-metals aqueous solutions for the first time. Based on morphotype, lipotype and genotype characteristics, NRCA8 was identified as Cladosporium sp. NRCA8.

Multimetal bioremediation from aqueous solution using dead biomass of Mucor sp. NRCC6 derived from detergent manufacturing effluent.

Among ten metal-tolerant fungal isolates obtained from the microbiomes of detergent industry effluent, Mucor sp. NRCC6 showed the highest tolerance and an adaptive behavior toward the heavy metals Ni, Pb, Mn, and Zn. It gave the highest growth rates 0.

Nanocarbon hybrid for simultaneous removal of arsenic, iron and manganese ions from aqueous solutions.

Heavy metal contamination is a severe problem with serious ecological and human health effects due to its toxic effect and tendency to accumulate throughout the food chain. Batch experiments were conducted to investigate the simultaneous removal of arsenic, iron and manganese ions from aqueous solutions using Nanocarbon hybrid (NCH). Nanocarbon hybrid (NCH) of carbon xerogel decorated with 1wt% multi-walled carbon nanotubes was prepared by carbonization at 850 °C for 2 h.

Innovative green/non-toxic BiS@g-CN nanosheets for dark antimicrobial activity and photocatalytic depollution: Turnover assessment.

Herein, green and non-toxic bismuth sulphide@graphitic carbon nitride (BiS@g-CN) nanosheets (NCs) were firstly synthesized by ultrasonicated-assisted method and characterized with different tool. BiS@g-CN NCs antimicrobial activity tested against three types of microbes. As well the heterostructured BiS@g-CN NCs was investigated for removing dye and hexavalent chromium under visible light and showed high efficiency of photocatalytic oxidation/reduction higher than g-CN alone, attributing to lower recombination photogenerated electron-hole pairs.

Low temperature-calcined TiO for visible light assisted decontamination of 4-nitrophenol and hexavalent chromium from wastewater.

In the present study, alkaline hydrothermally treated titania nanoparticles (TiO-HT) are prepared and followed by calcination at different low temperatures to improve TiO activity under visible light. The prepared photocatalysts (PCs) are characterized by different tools. TiO-HT is scrutinized for decontamination of para-nitrophenol (PNP) and hexavalent chromium ions (Cr ions) under simulated sunlight.
