Levofloxacin antibiotic is frequently being detected in the environment and regarded as an emerging contaminant. The present study was focused on the green synthesis of magnetite (FeO - gINPs) nanoparticles from Moringa olifera and its efficiency for removal of levofloxacin from aqueous solution. The adsorbent magnetite nanoparticles (FeO) were prepared by green synthesis using Moringa olifera and coprecipitation method.

- Vehicular emissions lead to heavy metal pollution, negatively impacting the environment and roadside plants.
- Certain wild plant species, like Acacia nilotica and Ziziphus mauritiana, can absorb significant amounts of heavy metals, making them potential solutions for reducing pollution.
- The study analyzed leaf samples from various sites, revealing that these plants accumulate different metals, suggesting that growing them near roads could help mitigate heavy metal pollution.
