Between the 1930s and the 1980s, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) were widely employed as persistent organic pollutants (POPs). Despite the fact that their usage has been severely restricted, many PCBs can still be detected in the environment, such as in soils
Read MorePersistent organic pollutants (POPs) are employed in a variety of agricultural and industrial products, causing significant environmental and human health damage. Although India is widely regarded as a hotspot for POPs contamination and human exposure, no systematic analysis has yet

Read MoreDue to the presence of two types of reactive primary and secondary hydroxyl groups, chitosan (CS), an amino polysaccharide, is a stiff polymer (-OH). It is also a biodegradable, biocompatible, non-toxic, safe, and antibacterial polymer, making it suitable for use
Read MoreThe role of aerobic bacteria in the biodegradation of petroleum hydrocarbon contaminated groundwater was investigated in this study. A nutrient-treated groundwater sample was compared to an untreated water sample. At day 56, the percentage elimination of total hydrocarbon content in
Read MoreThe aim of this study was to see how imidacloprid affected biochemical parameters and soil isolate development. The degradation of imidacloprid in the soil isolate was also investigated. The soil isolate was identified and used for toxicity testing in this
Read MorePolyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are naturally occurring polymers that are generated as a source of energy by a variety of bacterial organisms. They can be used to replace petroleum-based plastics in a sustainable way. Bacillus megaterium JHA, a gram-positive bacterium isolated from

The
