TL;DR
Integrated analysis demonstrated that the co-occurrence and distribution of PAHs and heavy metals are influenced by shared sources and environmental conditions, including organic load, particulate content, and system dynamics that favour pollutant retention and reduced degradation.
Industrial and domestic effluent discharge contributes significantly to surface and groundwater pollution. Industrialisation in rapidly urbanising regions of Sub-Saharan Africa often impacts the environment, leading to severe aquatic degradation. This study presents a comprehensive physicochemical, metal, and toxicolog...

As the primary substitutes for traditional brominated flame retardants, organophosphate esters (OPEs) are widely employed in industrial manufacturing and consumer products, and they have been detected in most rivers across China. The Zhuozhang River, a major tributary of the Haihe River, is situated in a region charact...

Municipal wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are important pathways for microplastics (MPs), plastic additives, and other associated contaminants to enter receiving waters, yet their combined pollution and risks remain poorly constrained across broad geographic regions. Here, MPs and plastic additives were investigate...

The widespread usage of plastic items, plastics are often seen as a serious concern especially in metropolitan areas. This study investigates the abundance, geographical distribution and composition of micro-plastics (MPs), adsorbed contaminants (Heavy metals, microbes) on MPs in urban wastewater in Faisalabad, Pakista...

The open burning system of municipal solid waste (MSW) disposal releases varying concentrations of emissions into the atmosphere. One of such, Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the atmosphere have been documented to be a threat to humans. This study assessed the concentration of the ambient air PAHs in a MSW d...
