Answer from the Neighborhood: Sustainable Treatment of Textile Industry Effluent Using Native Biopurifiers from Industrial Discharge Vicinity
•
in ACS ES&T Water This research explores how native microbial and algal biopurifiers, collected from areas surrounding textile industry discharge sites, can be harnessed to sustainably treat effluents. Key Insights: Textile effluents are rich in dyes, heavy metals, and organic pollutants that pose serious ecological risks. Native biopurifiers—microbes and algae…

Microplastic contamination worsens the ecotoxicity of chlorpyrifos to cladoceran Ceriodaphnia cornuta (Sars, 1885) and Echinisca triserialis (Brady, 1886)
•
in Ecotoxicology This research highlights how microplastics intensify the toxic effects of chlorpyrifos, a widely used organophosphate pesticide, on two key aquatic invertebrates: Ceriodaphnia cornuta and Echinisca triserialis. These results underscore the dual threat of chemical pollutants and plastic debris in aquatic ecosystems. The study provides evidence that microplastic–pesticide interactions…
