During infancy, adequate sleep is crucial for physical and neurocognitive development. In adults and children, night-time noise exposure is associated with sleep disturbances. However, whether and to what extent infants' sleep is affected, is unknown. Thus, this study investigated the relationship between nocturnal transportation noise and actimetr...

In this study, a magnetic chitosan/Al2O3/Fe3O4 (M-Cs) nanocomposite was developed by ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) functionalization to enhance its adsorption behavior for the removal of Cd(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) metal ions from aqueous solution. The results revealed that the EDTA functionalization of M-Cs increased its adsorption capacity...

Chromium is the heavy metal which existing in the effluents cause extensive discomfort to the environmental components. Bone waste is widely generated in food processing industries and restaurants. It is now used by switching into activated carbon. By co-precipitation procedure, the activated carbon is coated with a nano adsorbent. The Fe3O4-BAC ad...

With a recent surge of the new severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus 2 (SARS-Cov-2, COVID-19) in South Korea, this study attempts to investigate the effects of environmental conditions such as air pollutants (PM2.5) and meteorological covariate (Temperature) on COVID-19 transmission in Seoul. To account for unobserved heterogeneity in the d...

Wastewater-based epidemiology has been used as a tool for surveillance of COVID-19 infections. This approach is dependent on the detection and quantification of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in untreated/raw wastewater. However, the quantification of the viral RNA could be influenced by the physico-chemical properties of the wastewater. This study presents the fi...

The present study traces the geochemical occurrence of arsenic and heavy metals along the active oxbow formations of river Ganga in MGP. A total of 31 groundwater samples were collected, specifically in close proximity to the river profile section, to understand the high spatial enrichment pattern of arsenic. The bivariate plots reveal strong influ...

Cadmium (Cd) accumulation in rice grains poses a health risk for humans. In this study, a bacterium, Alishewanella sp. WH16-1-MT, was engineered to express metallothionein on the cell surface. Compared with the parental WH16-1 strain, Cd2+ adsorption efficiency of WH16-1-MT in medium was increased from 1.2 to 2.6 mg/kg dry weight. The WH16-1-MT str...

Neonicotinoids (NEOs) are extensively applied in global agricultural production for pest control but have adverse effects on human health. In this study, the concentrations of six NEOs and three characteristic metabolites were investigated by collecting 200 serum samples from an elderly population in China. Results showed that the NEOs and their me...

Carbapenemase-producing bacteria are a risk factor in clinical settings worldwide. The aim of the study was to accelerate the time to results during an outbreak situation with blaOXA-48-positive Enterobacter cloacae by using a real-time multiplex quantitative PCR (qPCR) directly on rectal swab specimens and on wastewater samples to detect carbapene...
