Alginate/CuO-gCN composite: a novel, reusable, non-toxic photocatalyst for methylene blue degradation.

Increasing industrial contamination necessitates development of sustainable water treatment solutions. Photocatalysis is a green technology utilizing light-activated materials (photocatalysts), which can degrade pollutants into harmless by-products. It is an emergent need to develop a photocatalyst that presents a significant advancement for sustainable water treatment and non-toxic to the environment.

Radiological dose and associated risk due to Po in commercial inter-tidal bivalves of southwest (Arabian Sea) coast of India.

The activity concentration of Po was determined in edible tissues of commercial bivalves on the southwest coast of India. The Po activity ranged from 38.3 ± 6.

Evaluation of the radiological dose due to Po in commercial clupeid fish collected in the near-shore environment of the high background natural radiation area (HBNRA) on the southwest coast of India.

In this study, we quantified the tissue concentration of Po in a variety of commercial sardine fish species of the family Clupeidae from an area of high background natural radiation area on the southwest coast of India. The smooth belly sardine Amblygaster leiogaster had the lowest Po concentration in its muscle (45.6 ± 7.
