Agriculture is one of several industries that face criticism today because of its impact on the environment. Pollution prevention technologies can go a long way toward addressing these concerns. They could also be beneficial to producers as they represent a move toward efficiency. The most common environmental pollutants from crop production are sediment, nutrients, and pesticides. This paper i...

X-ray binary systems (XRBs) exhibit similar dynamics and multimessenger emission mechanisms to active galactic nuclei (AGNs) with the benefit of shorter time scaling. Those produce rich spectral energy distributions (SEDs) ranging from radio band very high gamma rays. The origin varies between system’s accretion disk (X-rays) corona and, most notably, two twin plasma ejections (jets) that often...

Nanotechnology is an emerging science offering promising models of decontamination. The present experimental design is to synthesize novel nanoparticles of Iron and Nickel oxides to be used as catalysts for in situ removal of different pollutants discharged from various industries. Particle size of synthesized iron and nickel oxides nanoparticles was characteristic of ~28-36 nm and ~48-56, resp...

The potential of solid-supported technologies to address key industrial and environmental problems, as well as providing technology solutions for new opportunities, has become increasingly apparent in recent years. Examples include: product purification and separation where impurities emanating from unused reagents, catalysts and side products have to be removed down to very low levels due to t...

Understanding the effects of trace metals on human health is as complex as it is fascinating. As mentioned earlier, the high concentrations may prove toxic, as also, depletion in the concentration of the essential trace elements may cause various metabolic instabilities due to enzyme dysfunction. In the era of rapid industrialization and technological advances, it is imperative to watch keenly ...

Despite legal regulations limiting emissions of persistent organic pollutants (POPs), including dioxins, to the environment, they still constitute a significant component of environmental contamination. They are released in large amounts during various processes of combustion in industry, the management of refuse materials and also as a result of situations that are partially beyond our control...
