Impairment of testicular development in rats exposed to acephate during maternal gestation and lactation
Published in Environmental Science and Pollution Research
Acephate is an organophosphate insecticide that disrupts the endocrine system and impairs the male reproductive system. Thus, the aim of the present study was to evaluate whether exposure to acephate during maternal gestation and lactation histologically damages the testes of male Wistar rats in adulthood. For this study, adult Wistar rats were div...
Groundwater geochemical facie: implications of rock-water interaction at the Chamba city (HP), northwest Himalaya, India...
Published in Environmental Science and Pollution Research
The present study describes geochemical facie and implications of rock-water interaction at the groundwater of Chamba city. The influence of rock dominance at the groundwater may be due to its flow and longtime rock-water interaction, whereas atmospheric precipitation dominance owing to high recharge and continuous outflow of groundwater that cause...
Evaluation of hydroxyapatite/poly(acrylamide-acrylic acid) for sorptive removal of strontium ions from aqueous solution
Published in Environmental Science and Pollution Research
A composite polymer, hydroxyapatite/poly(acrylamide-acrylic acid), was synthesized by gamma-induced polymerization. The factors affecting the sorption process were evaluated. The removal increased with time and achieved equilibrium after 1 h for all initial concentration ranges (10–50 mg/L). The highest removal of Sr(II) was achieved using 50 mg/L ...
Sulphonated aromatic pollutants
Published in Environmental Science and Pollution Research
Many synthetic sulphonated aromatic compounds are used as starting material to produce dyes and pigments, or are released as by-products in the effluents of the textile and dye industry. A large number of these chemicals are poorly biodegradable and cannot be eliminated by classical wastewater treatment plants. To limit the impact of these pollutan...
Ameliorative effect of Bacillus subtilis, Saccharomyces boulardii, oregano, and calcium montmorillonite on growth, intes...
Published in Environmental Science and Pollution Research
This study evaluated the effects of Bacillus subtilis, Saccharomyces boulardii, oregano, and calcium montmorillonite on the physical growth, intestinal histomorphology, and blood metabolites in Salmonella-challenged birds during the finisher phase. In this study, a total of 600 chicks (Ross 308) were randomly distributed into the following dietary ...
Does water temperature influence the distribution and elimination of perfluorinated substances in rainbow trout (Oncorhy...
Published in Environmental Science and Pollution Research
Perfluorinated and polyfluorinated substances (PFASs) are widely found in freshwater ecosystems because of their resistance to degradation and their ability to accumulate in aquatic organisms. While water temperature controls many physiological processes in fish, knowledge of the effects of this factor on PFAS toxicokinetic is still limited. This s...
Comparison of air pollution in Shanghai and Lanzhou based on wavelet transform
Published in Environmental Science and Pollution Research
For a long-period comparative analysis of air pollution in coastal and inland cities, we analyzed the continuous Morlet wavelet transform on the time series of a 5274-day air pollution index in Shanghai and Lanzhou during 15 years and studied the multi-scale variation characteristic, main cycle, and impact factor of the air pollution time series. T...
Effects of different substrates on nitrogen and phosphorus removal in horizontal subsurface flow constructed wetlands
Published in Environmental Science and Pollution Research
This study aimed to explore the nitrogen and phosphorus removal performance of the horizontal submerged constructed wetland (HSCW) with Ti-bearing blast furnace slag (T). Another two HSCWs, with the converter steelmaking slag (G) and the stone (S) as wetland substrates, respectively, were simultaneously running as control. The results showed that t...
Temporal–spatial distribution of synthetic pyrethroids in overlying water and surface sediments in Guangzhou waterways: ...
Published in Environmental Science and Pollution Research
Temporal–spatial distribution of synthetic pyrethroids (SPs) in overlying water and surface sediments and ecological risk to aquatic systems were investigated, where paired water and surface sediments were collected during dry and wet periods in Guangzhou urban waterways. Eight target SPs (i.e., tefluthrin, bifenthrin, cyhalothrin, permethrin, cyfl...
