The escalating problem of environmental pollution can be attributed to the accelerated pace of global development, which often prioritizes human needs over planetary health. Despite huge global attempts endeavours to mitigate legacy pollutants, the uninterrupted introduction of novel substances such as the emerging organic micropollutants (EOMs) represents a significant menace to the natural environment and all forms of life on the earth. The widespread occurrence of EOMs in water and wastewater is a consequence of both their growing consumption as well as the limitations of the conventional wastewater treatment methods containing such pollutants resulting in deterioration of water quality and its supplies as well as this is a significant challenge for researchers and the scientific community alike.

In this work, we solve a system of fractional differential equations utilizing a Mittag-Leffler type kernel through a fractal fractional operator with two fractal and fractional orders. A six-chamber model with a single source of chlamydia is studied using the concept of fractal fractional derivatives with nonsingular and nonlocal fading memory. The fractal fractional model of the Chlamydia system can be solved by using the characteristics of a non-decreasing and compact mapping.

An eco-friendly synthetic route was developed for the formation of nickel oxide (NiO and NiO) nanoparticles (NPs) by treating Ni(NO).6HO with aqueous/ethanolic extracts of leaves; the same reaction was performed in the presence of graphene oxide (GO) to produce NiO@GO and NiO@GO nanocomposites (NCs), respectively. The NMs were characterized by XRD, FT-IR, SEM, EDX, UV-visible spectroscopy, and TGA-DSC analysis.

Background: Levofloxacin, a fluoroquinolone, is an extensively used antibiotic effective against both positively and negatively staining bacteria. It works by inhibiting bacterial topoisomerase type II and topoisomerase type IV, resulting in impaired DNA synthesis and bacterial cell death. Eryptosis is another term for apoptotic cell death of erythrocyte marked by cell shrinkage, phosphatidylserine (PS) flipping, and membrane blebbing.
