Persistent pollutants such as pharmaceuticals, pesticides, musk fragrances, and dyes are frequently detected in different environmental compartments and negatively impact the environment and humans. Understanding the impacts of diffuse environmental pollutants on plants is still limited, especially ...

Sugar molasses is a by-product from sugar industries. The sugar molasses-based fermentation industries mainly refer to the fermentation industries using molasses from sugar mills as raw materials for alcohol or yeast fermentation. A large volume of effluents can be produced in the process of sugar...

Biochar (BC) application to agricultural soil can impact two nitrogen (N) gases pollutants, i.e., the ammonia (NH₃) and nitrous oxide (N₂O) losses to atmospheric environment. Under rice-wheat rotation, applied at which growth cycle may influence the aforementioned effects of BC. We conducted a soil ...

The combine harvester (CH) is one of the most important machines with the most powerful engine used in the agricultural sector. It consumes significant amounts of diesel fuel and harms ambient air by releasing emissions. This study examines the telematics data of CHs (models with axial threshing...

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) constitute a significant environmental pollution group that reaches toxic levels with anthropogenic activities. The adverse effects of nanoplastics accumulating in ecosystems with the degradation of plastic wastes are also a growing concern. Previous studies ...

Air pollutants adversely affect the physiological, biochemical parameters, and productivity of the crops, but scarce and meager reports are available to know the certain impact of air pollution on crops. The aim of the present study was to assess environmental impact of air pollutants on...

This study dealt with estimating the concentration of heavy elements in soil samples and irrigation water for wheat farms in Wasit Governorate using the atomic absorption spectroscopy. Fifteen samples of soil and 14 samples of irrigation water are taken immediately after preparing the soil for...

Emissions from the crop residue burning adversely affect the regional and global air quality including public health. In this study, a district-wise comprehensive emission inventory of key pollutants (PM_2.5, PM₁₀, CO, CO₂, SO₂, NOx, N₂O, NH₃, CH₄, NMVOC, EC, OC, PAH) emitted during primary crop...

In this study, the common agricultural wastes (wheat straw, apricot pit and walnut shell) were exploited as the potential organic substrates in subsurface flow CWs (SSFCWs) with intermittent aeration to investigate the impacts of the varied influent loadings on the removal performance of ...

To study the influence of non-point source pollution on the water environment of Nishan reservoir, China, the pollution characteristics of different land use types (corn field, peanut field, sweet potato field, walnut forest, and village) were analyzed based on the water quality of Nishan reservoir ...
