Article Abstract
Uranium is omnipresent in the earth's crust, and its high concentration in the water poses a different type of health risk to humans. In view of this, water samples were collected from several locations in the Uttarkashi district region of Uttarakhand, India. The collected water samples were analyzed using an LED Fluorimeter. The range of the uranium concentrations in the collected water samples was found to be 0.01-3.48 μg l (ppb) with an AM (Arithmetic Mean) of 0.31 μg l (ppb). The Pearson's r between uranium and some physicochemical parameters (pH, temperature and Total Dissolve Solids) was 0.10, 0.008 and 0.04, respectively. The calculated values of excess lifetime cancer risk, lifetime average daily dose, and hazard quotient were found to be well within the safe limit as suggested by many agencies. The Annual Effective Dose (AED) received by the different age groups was also found within the safe limit of 100 μSv y recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO).

A method for determination of ten kinds of sweeteners in soybean products by multi-plug filtration cleanup (-PFC) combined with ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) was established. The sample was extracted with acetonitrile (containing 1% formic acid), degreased by using -hexane liquid-liquid extraction and purified by solid phase extraction using an -PFC column (Oasis PRiME HLB). The analytes were separated by using a Waters ACQUITY UPLC® BEH C (2.

The antibiotic contamination in aquatic environments, particularly in aquaculture systems, poses substantial risks to ecological balance and human health. To address this issue, we engineered a novel ratiometric fluorescent probe utilizing dual-emission carbon dots (D-CDs) synthesized from sustainable biomass carrot and nitrogen-rich precursors (melamine and o-phenylenediamine) through an efficient one-pot hydrothermal approach. The D-CDs exhibited dual emission peaks at 425nm and 540 nm under 370nm excitation.

The aim of the study was to evaluate the toxic metals (TMs) pollution, bioaccumulation and its potential health risk via consumption of different vegetables irrigated by different water sources released from industrial estates of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Water (fresh and waste), soil and vegetables samples were collected in triplicates and acid digested. Digestion of samples were followed by evaporation and filtration and then assessed for TMs via atomic absorption spectrophotometer.

Brazil is a major pig-producing country with production systems that include both industrial and family farms. In these facilities, parasitic diseases present an obstacle to production. This study aimed to estimate the prevalence and risk factors of the gastrointestinal parasites that infect pigs as well as to provide information for producers through extension activities.

In this paper, lignin was chemically extracted from fibers and modified with branched polyethyleneimine (BPEI) and the resulting samples were applied for the adsorption of two anionic dyes; Acid red 183 (AR183) and Acid blue 25 (AB25) from aqueous suspension. Analytical characterization methods including SEM, FT-IR, TGA/DTG, and XRD were used to analyze the studied samples. The images of the extracted lignin displayed a rough feature.
