Microorganisms can be found everywhere, in the coldest or hottest environment, in the air, in water, in soil, in plants, and even inside the human body. These organisms have a big contribution to the ecosystem and to the biosphere as a whole. ...

Bacteria Bacteria are single-celled complex microorganisms. They can be found in soil, water, plants and animals as well as in extreme locations like radioactive waste, glaciers, and hot springs. ...
The method is used to assess the risk posed by soil contaminants to human health when people are exposed to contaminants. ...
Air pollution can trigger and aggravate respiratory diseases; it can damage forests, acidify soils and waters, reduce crop yields and corrode buildings. We can also see that many air pollutants contribute to climate change and that climate change itself is going to affect air quality in the future. ...
To this purpose, the element concentrations in hair and nails were related to element concentrations measured in food items, water, and soil. The highest intake of most elements occurred via ingestion of the fish Rastrineobola argentea, which is consumed in higher quantities than other fish and food items. Element concentrations in hair and nails were correlated ...
Therefore, batch studies have been conducted to characterize the sorption and desorption behavior of ivermectin in three European soils (Madrid, York, and artificial soil). The solid-water distribution coefficient (Kd) for ivermectin sorption to the tested soils were between 57 and 396 L kg–1 (determined at 0.1 µg g–1), while the ...
Chemical and physical characterisation, nutritive and organic contents, and trace elements presence were also investigated. The contamination effects on soil functional qualities and plant nutrition were evaluated; furthermore DNA damage with short-term genotoxicity tests and DNA biosensor on polluted soils and gravitational water, was detected. ...
An emerging application involves the injection of water containing dissolved primary substrate (e.g. methane, toluene) and oxygen into ground water to support the co-metabolic breakdown of targeted organic contaminants. ...
The change in void ratio with change in water content of expansive clayey soils due to soil desiccation and water absorption has been identified as the integral/combined curve referred to as S-curve, which describes both swelling and shrinkage paths in the form of the void ratio versus moisture content relationship.General ...
