In recent years, with the development of the global economy, water pollution has increased. Pollutants migrate, accumulate, and diffuse in aquatic environments. Most of the pollutants eventually enter aquatic organisms. The accumulation of pollutants affects the development and reproduction of organisms, and many pollutants have teratogenic, carcinogenic, and/or mutagenic effects. Aquatic organisms in estuaries and coastal areas are under pressure due to both salinity and pollutants. Among them, salinity, as an environmental factor, may affect the behavior of pollutants in the aquatic environment, causing changes in their toxic effects on fishes. Salinity also directly affects the growth and development of fishes. Therefore, this paper focuses on metals and organic pollutants and discusses the toxic effects of pollutants on fish under different salinities. This research is of great significance to environmental protection and ecological risk assessment of aquatic environments.

For thousands of years, parasitic infections have represented a constant challenge to human health. Despite constant progress in science and medicine, the challenge has remained mostly unchanged over the years, partly due to the vast complexity of the host-parasite-environment relationships. Over the last century, our approaches to these challenges have evolved through considerable advances in science and technology, offering new and better solutions.

Background: The river ecosystems provide habitats and source of water for a number of species including humans. The uncontrolled accumulation of pollutants in the aquatic environment enhances the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria and genes.
Methods: Water samples were collected seasonally from different sites of Gomti and Ganga River.

Marine ecosystems, particularly estuaries, are increasingly threatened by anthropogenic pressures. The Odiel Estuary has suffered severe contamination from acid mine drainage and industrial activities. Since 1986, mitigation efforts have been implemented, yet their long-term ecological effectiveness remains under-evaluated.

Bisphenol A (BPA) is a persistent organic pollutant with toxic effects on human health and ecosystems. In this study, the performance of MWCNT-OH functionalized with iron nanoparticles (MWCNT-OH@Fe) using sugarcane bagasse extract as a reducing agent (green synthesis) was evaluated for BPA adsorption. The kinetics are fast, between 10 and 20 min in the range of concentrations evaluated and the resistance to external film diffusion (external film mass transfer) identified as the rate-limiting step of the process.

This review delivers a focused and critical evaluation of recent progress in the green synthesis of carbon quantum dots (CQDs), with particular attention to state-of-the-art approaches utilizing renewable biomass as precursors. The main objective is to systematically examine innovative, environmentally friendly methods and clarify their direct influence on the core properties and photocatalytic performance of CQDs. The novelty of this review stems from its comprehensive comparison of green synthetic pathways, revealing how specific processes determine key structural, optical, and electronic attributes of the resulting CQDs.
