Dalmatia is situated in the Dinaric karst in Southern Croatia. It is characterized by insufficient quantities of water during the summer months and a relatively excessive amount of rainfall during the winter and spring months. Other hydrographic characteristics of Dinaric carst include scarce and long surface streamflows with a few tributaries with changeable capacities, a small number of springs, and a relatively great number of submarine springs along the coast. The water supply and health-care institutions are especially interested in observing and monitoring water quality. A relational database has been developed for carrying out chemical analyses expressed by the Ca/Mg ratio since it is necessary to organize and integrate a large number of analytical and ecological health data. The database can serve as a methodological platform for the study of environmental factors influencing human health. The prototype database consists of data obtained by investigations which have been conducted by the water Examination Department of the Public Health Institute of the Split Dalmatian county (Croatia) University of Split Medical School. The database currently contains more than 2500 data.

Institute of Environment and Sustainable Development, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi, 221005, India.
Surface water chemistry of the River Ganga at Varanasi was analyzed at 10 locations over 3 years (2019-2021) across pre-monsoon, monsoon, and post-monsoon seasons. The study aimed to assess water parameters using principal component analysis (PCA), calculate the water quality index (WQI), determine processes governing water chemistry, evaluate irrigation suitability, and estimate non-carcinogenic health risks. The physical parameters measured included pH (8.

Geographical origin authentication of onions has become significant owing to origin labelling fraud in South Korea. Various analytical techniques based on stable isotope ratios, organic and inorganic constituents, or their combinations, can distinguish agricultural products geographically. However, studies on the geographical classification of South Korean and Chinese onions using stable isotopes and minerals remain scarce.

Seawater intrusion and human activities have significantly impacted coastal groundwater quality in many regions worldwide. This study systematically assessed groundwater chemistry, its suitability for drinking and irrigation (sample size, n = 3034), and exposure risks (n = 2863) across three key sub-regions of the Bohai Sea area: Bohai Bay, Liaodong Bay, and Laizhou Bay. Significant seasonal variations observed in groundwater chemistry at different depths in Bohai Bay region, with severe contamination from salinity-alkalinity and nitrogen-fluoride.

The conversion of water hyacinth into biochar offers a sustainable solution to mitigate its proliferation and enhances its potential as a soil amendment for agriculture. This study examined the physicochemical properties of water hyacinth biochar (WHBC) and its impact on soil fertility. Water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) was pyrolyzed at 300 °C for 40 minute with restricted airflow (2-3 m/s), producing biochar with desirable properties and a yield of 44.

Soil amendments combined with low cadmium (Cd)-accumulating crops are commonly used for remediating Cd contamination and ensuring food safety. However, the combined effects of soil amendments and the cultivation of faba beans ( L.)-known for their high nutritional quality and low Cd accumulation-in moderately Cd-contaminated soils remain underexplored.
