Diarrheal diseases are an important public health concern, predominantly in peri-urban
areas where access to safe drinking water and passable sanitation is often insufficient.
This study aimed to quantify the prevalence ...
The efficiency of both Integrated Constructed Wetland (ICW) and Membrane Bioreactor (MBR)
in the treatment of wastewater was assessed using physicochemical, microbial, and molecular
studies. Temperature, pH, turbidity, ...

The need for assessing environmental and socio-economic impacts of Ghazi Barotha
Hydropower Project (GBHP) has stemmed from very limited global information about
Run-of-the-river projects. These projects are getting ...
Agriculture is widely recognized as the core foundation of the economy, significantly
influencing the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of a country. Wheat is among nutrient-rich
grain that is crucial for ensuring food security. ...
Nanoplastics (NPs) in aquatic environments have gained considerable consideration
because of their persistent and adverse effects on the environment. Several methods have
been studied for their efficient removal from ...
The increasing demand for sustainable agricultural practices necessitates the
development of advanced fertilizers that can efficiently deliver nutrients while
minimizing environmental impact. In this study, a dual-coated ...
The increasing population has led to a rise in global food demand, which has put
immense pressure on the agricultural soils to boost crop yield. This has urged farmers
to resort to the utilization of excessive amounts ...
Black carbon (BC) is a major component of aerosols in the ambient air, adversely affecting human
health and contributing to regional and global climate change. BC's light absorption, combined
with its longer lifetime in ...
This work aimed at the development of a novel GO-MoS 2 composite-based adsorbent as an
alternate filter medium for the removal of toxic hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) from an
aqueous solution in an up-flow fixed-bed column. ...
In recent times, nZVI composites have been developed as environmentally friendly
adsorbents to tackle the issue of eutrophication in freshwater bodies. Herein, we synthesized
nano zero valent iron loaded orange peel ...
Air pollution poses a significant global challenge, particularly impacting health and
economic well-being. It has been identified as the 5th leading cause of human mortality
(Health Effects Institute, 2019), with developing ...
About 8.1 million mortalities globally, including 2 million in South Asia, and 64,000 in
Pakistan are attributed to Particulate Matter (PM2.5) of size 2.5 microns or less (SOGA,
2019; UNICEF, 2024; World Bank, 2023). ...

This research has utilized a combination of ground-based and satellite data along with National
Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) POWER (Prediction Of Worldwide Energy
Resources) (NP) data for the prediction ...
Chromium ion contamination in surface and groundwater is a pressing global issue that
demands urgent improvements in treatment systems to lower toxic levels. In accordance,
conventional water treatment processes like ...

This comprehensive study investigates the efficacy and impacts of climate-smart agricultural
practices in Punjab, Pakistan, focusing on rice-wheat and cotton-wheat cropping systems as a
meta-analysis. The research employed ...
Ul Huda, Noor(Institute of Environmental Sciences and Engineering NUST, 2024-09-27)
The deterioration of air quality due to stubble burning poses a significant threat to health,
especially in South Asia. In Pakistan, an agriculture-based economy, crop residue
burning, particularly in the rice-wheat belt, ...
Anaerobic digestion (AD) mitigates high energy demand by converting lignocellulosic waste
into biogas and digestate. This process supports the economy, reduces energy crises, and
enhances environmental sustainability. ...
Solid waste generation is increasing day by day globally. Similarly, in Pakistan
more than 50% of the municipal solid waste is biodegradable and contributes to
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions if not managed properly. To ...
The contamination of marine ecosystems due to microplastics pollution represents a
critical environmental threat. This study aims to conduct a comprehensive assessment
and comparative analysis of the potential risks posed ...
