Dyes are priority pollutants, commonly found at significant concentrations in textile effluents. The presence of dyes stuffs in wastewater can cause severe problems to aquatic life and human beings. Therefore, the removal of dyes from wastewater is important in order to minimize their hazardous effe...

Humic acid (HA) and fulvic acid (FA) are the prime components of natural organic matter (NOM) and can cause several problems in potable water such as odor, taste, and color. They can also produce hazardous disinfectant by-products (DBPs), especially on water chlorination, and can reduce the amount o...

The concentration of chromium (VI) in the soil is an important environmental concern due to its mobility and acute toxicity. Due to its toxicity, removal of this species is very important. The mobility of Cr(VI) is highly governed by its adsorption onto the mineral surfaces. Manganese oxides are nat...

Manganese oxides are ubiquitous in soil, sediment and aquatic environment. Over the years, manganese oxides and their composites have proved to be effective as adsorbents for the removal of metal ions and contaminants from water/wastewater. Because of their unique chemical and physical properties, t...

Chromium (VI) is an important heavy metal commonly found in tannery wastewater. In order to manage this type of environmental pollution, there needs to be a better understanding of Cr(VI) adsorption mechanisms. This article reviews the recent usage of various adsorbents to adsorb Cr(VI) from wastewa...

Nanosized aluminium oxides (NAOs) are an important class of minerals widely found in soil, sediment, aquifer, and aquatic environments. Over the decades, these minerals have been explored as sorbents for the removal of wastewater contaminated with metal ions, anions, organic dyes, humic substances, ...

Ni(II) polluted water becomes a significant issue in recent years. Excessive levels of Ni(II) are detrimental to plant, animal and human life, so it is important to reduce the amount of Ni(II) that enters the environment from polluted water. Manganese oxides, found in soils are important in determin...

Abstract Background COVID-19 has had a disproportionate impact on ethnic minority populations, both in the UK and internationally. To date, much of the evidence has been derived from studies within single healthcare settings, mainly those hospitalised with COVID-19. Working on behalf of NHS England,...

Abstract South Asians develop type 2 diabetes (T2D) early in life and often with normal body mass index (BMI). However, reasons for this are poorly understood because genetic research is largely focused on European ancestry groups. We used recently derived multi-ancestry partitioned polygenic scores...

Abstract Understanding the genetic basis of routinely-acquired blood tests can provide insights into several aspects of human physiology. We report a genome-wide association study of 42 quantitative blood test traits defined using Electronic Healthcare Records (EHRs) of ~50,000 British Bangladeshi a...

Iron-based materials (IBMs) have shown promise as adsorbents due to their unique physicochemical properties. This review provides an overview of the different types of IBMs, their synthesis methods, and their properties. Results found in the adsorption of emerging contaminants to a wide range of IBM...

This study assessed the contribution of five genes previously known to be involved in cholestatic liver disease in British Bangladeshi and Pakistani people. Five genes (ABCB4, ABCB11, ATP8B1, NR1H4, TJP2) were interrogated by exome sequencing data of 5236 volunteers. Included were non-synonymous or ...

British Pakistani and Bangladeshi (BPB) women have disproportionately high rates of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), with prevalence estimates up to three times higher than in the general population. They are also at increased risk of progressing to type 2 diabetes, leading to significant health...

Correct classification of type 1 (T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) is challenging due to overlapping clinical features and the increasingly early onset of T2D, particularly in South Asians. Polygenic risk scores (PRSs) for T1D and T2D have been shown to work relatively well in South Asians, despite be...
