Hydrohaloalkanes are potential alternatives to the fully halogenated compounds (CFCs) that are believed to be responsible for depletion of the stratospheric ozone. In order to establish whether hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) and hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) are actually more environmentally acceptable, it is extremely important to know, in addition to ODP and HGWP, their atmospheric degradation mechanism, tropospheric lifetime, and toxicity and noxiousness of their atmospheric degradation products. The primary atmospheric sink for hydrohaloalkanes is the reaction with hydroxyl radicals (OH), so that laboratory measurements or a reliable estimation of the rate constants (kOH) of these reactions is essential in order to assess their atmospheric lifetimes. The previsional models for kOH developed in our laboratory allow the estimation of the atmospheric lifetimes of as many as 449 halocarbons (i.e., all the halocarbons containing F and/or Cl with one, two, and three carbon atoms). The harmful character of some degradation products halogenated and oxygenated is also discussed.

Sustainable management of textile industrial wastewater is one of the severe challenges in the current regime. It has been reported that each year huge amount of textile industry discharge especially the dye released into the environment without pre-treatment that adversely affect the human health and plant productivity. In the present study, different bacterial isolates had been isolated from the industrial effluents and investigated for their bioremediation potential against the malachite green (MG) dye, a major pollutant of textile industries.

This study investigated the potential of the indirubin-3'-oxime (I3O) compound to mitigate temperature-induced male infertility in . Elevated temperatures significantly reduced egg-hatching rates, but I3O supplementation improved these rates, suggesting it can partially restore fertility under heat stress. Additionally, I3O was found to inhibit soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH), an enzyme involved in the metabolism of epoxyeicosatrienoic acids, which are vital for reproductive health.
