    Abstract Irrigation using sewage water can be beneficial, as it can increase the productivity of crops but has negative consequences on crops, soil contamination, and human health. It contains a variety of toxins, such as chemicals and heavy metals, which damage the soil and crops. In this regard, the aim of the research was to assess the potential health hazards of iron (Fe) metal in food crops (leafy and root crops) treated with wastewater (T_1), canal water (T_2), and tube well water (T_3). Water, soil, and edible components of food crops were collected at random from three distinct locations. Fe concentration in samples was estimated using atomic absorption spectrophotometer, following wet digestion method. The Fe concentrations, ranged from 0.408 to 1.03 mg/l in water, 31.55 to 187.47 mgkg-1 in soil and 4.09 to 32.583 mgkg-1 in crop samples; which were within permissible limits of the World Health Organization (WHO). There was a positive correlation between soils and crops. The bioconcentration factor, enrichment factor (EF), daily intake of metals (DIM), health risk index (HRI), and target hazard quotient (THQ) all values were <1, except for a pollution load index >1, which indicated soil contamination, but there was no Fe toxicity in crops, no health risk, and no-carcinogenic risk for these food crops in humans. To prevent the excessive accumulation of Fe metal in the food chain, regular monitoring is needed.

    Abstract Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS CoV-2/COVID-19) is a highly contagious and deadly disease caused by a virus belonging to the coronaviridae family. Researchers working in histopathology laboratories, dealing with morbid samples, are particularly vulnerable to infection unless they have very strong immunity. Hence, a proper precautionary protocol is required for the safety of the laboratory staff. The current review highlights the biological and physical agents that can be used to inactivate the virus and disinfect the surrounding environment in the laboratory.

    Abstract Background: Pakistan is in the midst of the corona pandemic. In the absence of definite treatment or vaccines, the outcome of this pandemic depends highly on the public's behavior. Objective: To assess awareness and practices of Pakistani public towards personal protective measures during the Coronavirus Pandemic. Methods: A cross-sectional online survey was distributed through email and social media platforms to the members of the public. Convenience sampling was employed. The questionnaire recorded the participant's demographic details and contained questions that assessed awareness and practice of preventive measures. Data analysis was done on IBM SPSS 20 and presented in frequency and percentages. Chi square test was done to find associations between variables. P-values less than 0.05 were considered statistically significant. Results: We received responses from 418 Pakistanis of varying socioeconomic backgrounds. Majority of the Pakistanis followed the WHO's guidelines for hand hygiene. About 2.4% of the respondents reported that a member of their household had been diagnosed with COVID-19 while only 4.3% had gotten themselves tested for COVID-19. Uncertainty about the effectiveness of saline against coronavirus was prevalent in our region (33.7%). Statistically significant association was found between different age groups and misconception about rinsing nose with saline (p=0.036). Practice of self-isolation showed significant association with gender and age groups (p= 0.047, 0.01). Conclusion: Majority of the public showed adherence to the WHO health recommendations for COVID-19. Nevertheless, educating the public about COVID-19 prevention efforts will improve community participation during the ongoing pandemic.
