Microplastics (MPs) are increasingly recognized as interfacial substrates for microbial adhesion and metal adsorption in aquatic environments. However, the temporal sequence and causality of MPs-microbial-metal interactions ...

The frequency and intensity of flood disaster events are increasing. It is well documented that community flood vulnerability and impacts vary depending on household attributes. Nevertheless, vulnerable households in high ...

Riparian corridors though essential for sustaining riverine ecosystem services, face increasing degradation due to complex interactions between natural and anthropogenic pressures. A critical barrier to effective restoration ...

The transformation of biowaste into high-performance functional materials presents a promising strategy for sustainable environmental technologies. In this study, a novel biogenic carbon-based catalytic matrix (CBCM) was ...

Discharging untreated faecal sludge (FS) from on-site sanitation into the environment poses environmental and public health risks in semi-urban and rural areas of India. Therefore, designing a low-cost, resource-efficient, ...

Lightweight concrete offers better performance as structural concrete owing to its reduced dead load, better durability, and thermal insulating properties. However, it displays a reduction in certain mechanical properties ...

This paper presents the findings of a numerical study conducted to examine the influence of different structural parameters on the response of a complete steel-free, glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) dowel connector ...

Satellite imagery has provided the top view for solving many engineering, agriculture, water resources, disaster response, and environmental monitoring problems. The top view requires the classification of real-world objects ...

The disposal of Stainless-Steel Pickling Sludge (SSPS) in landfills remains an important issue. Utilizing SSPS as construction material mitigates the negative environmental effects associated with its disposal, providing ...

The present work explores to study the pollutant removal properties of mortar, concrete, and paint by incorporating the BaTiO3 as photocatalysts with different dosages (0.5%, 1%, and 2%) replaced by weight of cement and ...
