Air pollutants are perhaps the largest cause of diseases and death in the world today. Increasing urbanization and industrialization have caused an increase in number of diverse forms and types of new pollutants, which are difficult to detect and characterize due to their stench behaviour and comple...

Microplastics (MPs), small plastic particles resulting from the degradation of larger plastic items and from primary sources such as textiles, engineered plastic pellets, etc., have become a ubiquitous environmental pollutant. As their prevalence in the natural environment grows, concerns about thei...

Nanoplastics (NPs) are a rapidly developing subject that is relevant in environmental and food research, as well as in human toxicity, among other fields. NPs have recently been recognized as one of the least studied types of marine litter, but potentially one of the most hazardous. Several studies ...

Effects of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) on the growth, nutrient absorption, and inoculation effectiveness of AMF on pioneer plants Pharagmites japonica (C4) and Polygonum cuspidatum (C3) were evaluated by performing a pot experiment in a greenhouse at Saitama University, Japan. AMF spores were...

Urban street dust is regarded as a significant pollutant in the urban environment and an ideal indicator of urban environmental quality. Even so, studies regarding this matrix for microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs) pollution are often overlooked and only a few studies have been conducted to ...

Plastic wastes are introduced into the environment inevitably and their exposure in the environment causes deterioration in its mechanical and physicochemical properties. This leads to the formation of plastic fragments, which are considered as micro and nano plastics when their size is 2 ). This pa...

Plastic pollution is a worldwide problem. In an urban setting, road dust is a major source of plastics, and their presence may be harmful to the health of the inhabitants. The distribution of small macroplastics (SMaPs; > 5mm to 10 cm) and adsorbed heavy metals in road side soils in Owerri, Imo stat...

Plastics in agricultural soils are of current concern to environmental scientist due to potential effects on soil-plant system and food security. In this study, the effect of macro- and micro- sized plastic types of low density polyethylene (LDPE), polypropylene (PP) and polystyrene (PS) in soil on ...

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi have the ability to promote growth of the associated plants by enhancing water and nutrient uptake. In the present study, we aimed to explore the performance of Miscanthus sacchariflorus under different soil zinc (Zn) levels in association with inoculated AM fungi. ...

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Bangladesh government took the measure like partial lockdown (PL) and complete lockdown (CL) to curb the spread. These measures gave a chance for environmental restoration. In this study, street dust samples were collected during PL and CL from four main urban land use ...

The advent of the COVID-19 era has ushered in significant changes to both the environment and daily life. During the COVID-19 lockdown, a unique opportunity emerged to improve environmental quality and mitigate certain impacts on the planet. The distribution and health risks of microplastics (MPs) i...
