Remediation states for the removal of pollutants from the environment. Remediation can be done in various ways such as by using waste biomass for sorption of pollutants or by living organisms like plants, microbes that cause degradation of pollutants. Bioremediation implies the use of microbes in the removal of heavy metals, industrial wastes and any other type of toxic wastes from the environm...

Dioxins are a group of anthropogenic chemical compounds created as unintended by-products through a number of activities including: combustion, certain types of chemical manufacture, chlorine bleaching of pulp and paper, and other industrial processes. Dioxins are produced in very small quantities compared to other pollutants; however, because this family of compounds are thought to be highly t...

Introduction: The rapid urbanization coupled with industrial development in Indian cities has led to air pollution that causes adverse effects on the health of human beings. So, it is crucial to track the quality of air in industrial areas of a city to insulate the public from harmful air pollutants.  The present study examined and predicted air quality index levels in industrial areas located ...
