Transgenic exploitation of bacterial degradative genes in plants has been considered a favorable strategy for degrading organic pollutants in the environment. The aromatic ring characteristic of these pollutants is mainly responsible for their recalcitrance to degradation. In this study, a Plesiomonas-derived chlorocatechol 1,2-dioxygenase (TfdC) gene (tfdC), capable of cleaving the aromatic ri...

Recently, the major area of concern is the presence of the emerging pollutants in wastewaters, surface waters and ground waters. In most cases, the emerging contaminants refers to the unregulated pollutants, which can be included for future regulation depending upon research on their health effects and their occurrence. They generally includes surfactants, illicit drugs, endocrine disruptors, p...

background: sediments in marine environment have a large capacity in binding with heavy metals; therefore, they are potential pollutants of water resources. the anzali wetland, located in the southern region of the caspian sea, iran, has been consistently threatened by heavy metal pollutants because of urban, agricultural and industrial wastewater inflow. the purpose of this study is to investi...

Management of asthma requires attention to environmental exposures both indoors and outdoors. Americans spend most of their time indoors, where they have a greater ability to modify their environment. The indoor environment contains both pollutants (eg, particulate matter, nitrogen dioxide, secondhand smoke, and ozone) and allergens from furred pets, dust mites, cockroaches, rodents, and molds....

In the modern world, environmental problems have attracted more and more attention, for environmental pollutants are extremely harmful to human beings’ health. Environmental pollutants, such as persistent organic pollutants, are widely separated in the environment and difficult to detect at trace level. Within persistent organic pollutants, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), due to their excelle...

Livestock pollution is one of the main sources agricultural pollution, which has a negative impact on global environment. Monitoring, simulation and early warning major pollutants emitted from livestock production great significance for reducing pollution. Especially, real-time comprehensive monitoring concentration distribution harmful gases could improve harm to people, itself environment, in...

wastewater treatment and re-use of industrial process water are critical issues for the developmentof human activities and environment conservation. the present study was undertaken to evaluate the degradationof organic pollutants taking phenol as the model compound over aluminium pillared montmorillonite and therare earth exchanged analogues, underlining the use of environ friendly clay cataly...
