    Abstract Industrialization and urbanization increased the use of chemicals in agriculture, vehicular emissions, etc., and spoiled all environmental sectors. It causes various problems among living beings at multiple levels and concentrations. Phytoremediation and microbial association are emerging as a potential method for removing heavy metals and other contaminants from soil. The treatment uses plant physiology and metabolism to remove or clean up various soil contaminants efficiently. In recent years, omics and artificial intelligence have been seen as powerful techniques for phytobial remediation. Recently, AI and modeling are used to analyze large data generated by omics technologies. Machine learning algorithms can be used to develop predictive models that can help guide the selection of the most appropriate plant and plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria combination that is most effective at remediation. In this review, emphasis is given to the phytoremediation techniques being explored worldwide in soil contamination.

    Abstract In laboratory scale experiment, Cu–ZrO₂ nanocomposite was synthesized using a leaf extract of Melia azedarach plant as a capping agent. The nanocomposite seems to be highly selective for the abolition of Cr(VI) from water system. The chemical compositions and morphology of nanocomposite has been inspected using Fourier transform infrared spectrogram (FTIR), X-ray diffractometer (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM), high-resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM), thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA) and electron dispersive X-ray (EDX). The adsorption mechanism ofCu-ZrO₂ nanocomposite was extremely dependent onsolutionpH. The maximum adsorption for Cr(VI) was found at 2.0 pH. Approximately, 95% of Cr(VI)has been adsorbed using Cu–ZrO₂ nanocomposite. The experimental data precisely follows Langmuir plot (R² equal to 0.99). This indicates the single layer adsorption of Cr(VI). Kinetics study indicates the chemical nature of adsorption. Thermodynamic study corresponds to feasible, spontaneous, and endothermic adsorption.

    Abstract The present investigation focuses on assessing the water quality of groundwater surrounding brick kilns in the Jammu district of Jammu and Kashmir (J&K). At 43 different brick kiln sites in both north and south regions of Jammu, concentrations of heavy metals were measured using established techniques. The elements zinc, copper, iron, lead, cadmium, nickel, and manganese were analyzed utilizing an Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS). The pollution load index value was consistently below unity across all sites, suggesting an absence of pollution and making the water suitable for consumption. The average concentrations, listed in ascending order, were found to be 0.38 mg/L for copper, 0.31 mg/L for zinc, 0.01 mg/L for iron, and 0.09 mg/L for manganese. Notably, concentrations of lead, cadmium, and nickel were found below the detectable levels. Evaluation of contamination factors revealed the sequence Cu > Fe > Zn > Mn, while the geo accumulation index followed the sequence Cu > Fe > Mn > Zn. Comparison of these findings with the established standards of World Health Organization and Bureau of Indian Standards indicated that the recorded ranges were within permissible limits. The study's outcomes suggest that heavy metal emissions from brick kilns may not significantly impact the quality of groundwater. Elevated copper levels found near brick kilns were likely to result from plumbing materials in the study area. Iron and manganese in groundwater seems to have geo-genic origin and not emission-related. This research represents a foundational step in examining groundwater contamination by heavy metals specifically in the neighborhood of brick kilns in Jammu district. It contributes to the establishment of a comprehensive database and serves as a reference point for future studies. Additionally, the study recommends regular monitoring of groundwater to ensure the maintenance of drinking water quality.

    Abstract In the present work, an investigation was performed based on the genera and species stated in Palmer pollution index to show the extent of organic pollution in the surface water of the Tawi watershed in the Jammu province of the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir using algal pollution indices. Sampling was carried out for two seasons, pre-monsoon (PRM) and post-monsoon (POM), at 16 locations distributed over the entire Tawi watershed. The physico-chemical variables like water temperature, pH, electrical conductivity, TDS, total alkalinity, total hardness, DO, BOD, COD, nitrate, and phosphate were analyzed. The seasonal distribution of the pollution-tolerant algal genera and species was recorded and the algal pollution index for both genus (AGP index) and species (ASP index) was also calculated. The concentration of BOD, COD, and nitrate in the sampled river water was found to be higher during the PRM season as compared to the POM season. The lower stretch of the watershed (Jammu Sub-Watershed) falls in class IV-V as per the polluted river stretch priority ranking based on BOD levels as BOD levels are >3 mg/L in the downstream locations during both seasons. A total of 23 algal taxa belonging to 8 families, Chlorophyceae (4 algal genera), Cyanophyceae (2 algal genera), Bacillariophyceae (7 algal genera), Zygnematophyceae (3 algal genera), Trebouxiophyceae (2 algal genera), Ulvophyceae (1 algal genus), Mediophyceae (1 algal genus), and Euglenophyceae (3 algal genera), have been reported in the Tawi watershed. The results of the Palmer indices showed a lack of organic pollution in the upstream, varying pollution levels in the midstream, and partially high to very high organic pollution levels in the downstream of the watershed. Comparative temporal analysis of the distribution of pollution-tolerant algal genera and species showed more organic pollution during PRM. Navicula and Cymbella were found to be the most abundant genera in almost all the stations, whereas Ulothrix, Cocconeis, Anacystis, and Crucigenia were the least recorded genera in the entire watershed. The results will enhance the understanding of the health status of the watershed, and provide database for watershed vulnerability assessment for sustainability and watershed management with spatio-temporal improvement.

    Abstract Biological macromolecules have been significantly used in the medicine due to their certain therapeutic values. Macromolecules have been employed in medical filed in order to enhance, support, and substitute damaged tissues or any other biological function. In the past decade, the biomaterial field has developed considerably because of vast innovations in regenerative medicine, tissue engineering, etc. Different types of biological macromolecules such as natural protein and polysaccharide etc. and synthetic molecules such as metal based, polymer based, and ceramic based etc. have been discussed. These materials can be modified by coatings, fibres, machine parts, films, foams, and fabrics for utilization in biomedical products and other environmental applications. At present, the biological macromolecules can used in different areas like medicine, biology, physics, chemistry, tissue engineering, and materials science. These materials have been used to promote the healing of human tissues, medical implants, bio-sensors and drug delivery, etc. These materials also considered as environmentally sustainable as they are prepared in association with renewable natural resources and living organisms in contrast to non-renewable resources (petrochemicals). In addition, enhanced compatibility, durability and circular economy of biological materials make them highly attractive and innovative for current research.The present review paper summarizes a brief about biological macromolecules, their classification, methods of synthesis, and their role in biomedicine, dyes and herbal products.

    Abstract In the present laboratory scale experiment, we report the fabrication of chlorophyll sensitized (BiO)₂CO₃/CdWO₄/rGO (BCR) photo-catalyst. The green approach has been adopted for boosting the optical activity by chlorophyll as a sensitizer. The functionality, nature and surface compositions of synthesized photo-catalyst have been identified by FTIR, XRD and XPS instrumentation. The internal and surface morphology has been studied using FE-SEM and HR-TEM. The optical activity has been investigated by UV–vis and photoluminescence spectroscopy. The catalytic activity of chlorophyll sensitized BCR have been tested for the photo degradation of Chlorzoxazone (CZX) under simulated visible light for 90 min. The detailed comparison has been studied for the different loading amount of chlorophyll and RGO onto BCR photo-catalyst. The potential of BCR for the photo-degradation of CZX was investigated under various operational parameters such as catalysts dosage, pollutant concentration, effect of pH and ions etc. Approximately, 96.2% of CZX has been degraded over 90 min with the optimum catalyst amount 250 mgL⁻¹ at pH 7. The ●OH radical has been identified as major reactive species using radical scavenging experiment. The mineralization of CZX has been evaluated in terms of HR-MS and TOC-COD analysis.

    Abstract Activated bark prepared from Mangifera indica was used for the removal of Cr(VI) from aqueous solution. Activated bark (AB) was characterized by some instrumental techniques such as Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and thermal analysis (TGA). The effect of different adsorption parameters such as metal ion concentration, adsorbent dosage, contact time, pH, and the temperature was optimized. Langmuir, Freundlich, and Tempkin’s isotherms were studied for the interpretation of experimental data. Langmuir model was found to be best fitted with a maximum adsorption capacity of 78.96 ​mg/g. The kinetic study was described by pseudo-first-order kinetics and Elovich model. Kinetic study indicates that physio-adsorption play major role in Cr(VI) removal from water system. The thermodynamic parameters such as energy change (ΔG°), enthalpy change (ΔH°) and entropy change (ΔS°) were found to be spontaneous, feasible, and endothermic nature.
