Abstract: Cytotoxicity, in the context of chemical-based nanoparticles, explores the potential adverse effects of these nanomaterials on various biological systems. Understanding cytotoxicity is crucial for assessing the safety of nanoparticles in diverse environments. This encompasses plant cytotoxicity, examining the impact on plant cells and ecosystems; animal cytotoxicity, delving into the consequences for animal tissues and organisms; and microbial cytotoxicity, exploring how nanoparticles may affect microorganisms and their functions. Investigating these aspects is vital for responsible development and application of nanotechnology, ensuring its compatibility with different biological systems.

Abstract: Les mangues exportées du Mali sont souvent interceptées aux frontières européennes en raison des mouches de fruits qui causent des dégâts considérables. L'objectif de cette étude est d'évaluer le taux de parasitisme de Fopius arisanus sur les oeufs de Bactrocera dorsalis au laboratoire dans deux milieux nutritifs. Les dômes de mangue appelés pondoirs étaient placés dans une boîte de Pétri, introduits dans les cages d'élevage de B. dorsalis pour la ponte. Six heures après, les dômes de mangues ont été retirés, placés dans une cage d'élevage de F. arisanus pendant vingt-quatre heures.......

Abstract: Background: Plastics, particularly polyethylene, have become indispensable due to their versatility and durability, but their persistence poses a significant environmental challenge. Conventional plastic waste management techniques, such as incineration and landfilling, have adverse ecological impacts. Microbial degradation, particularly using Pseudomonas spp., offers an environmentally sustainable solution. Pseudomonas spp. are known for their metabolic versatility, ability to thrive in nutrient-deficient environments, and potential to degrade various plastic polymers. This study aimed to evaluate the biodegradability of polyethylene by Pseudomonas aeruginosa under laboratory conditions. Materials and Methods: Low-density......

Abstract: This study examines two types of olive oil: extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) and olive pomace oil (OPO). EVOO is known for its high quality and health benefits, while OPO is a by-product obtained through solvent extraction. We compare their physical and chemical parameters, highlighting differences in quality, nutritional value, and market demand. EVOO is recommended for health benefits, whereas OPO serves as a cost-effective industrial alternative. Significant differences in polyphenols, carotenoids, and FTIR analysis were found, with a notable difference (143%) at 1720 cm-1 between the two oils.

Abstract: Drought is a natural occurrence which is a natural induce phenomenon and which cannot be, controlled by human being but it can be mitigated during and after its occurrence. It is a phenomenon which occurs after a prolong period of rainfall which brings about fast evapotranspiration as a result of high temperature. Indicator like SPI, SPEI, SMI and PCI are used to estimate the analysis of drought. These methods of analysis can give useful information about drought frequency and magnitude. Soil Moisture Index (SMI) shows that evenly distributed soil moisture was recorded from......

Abstract: Crude oil pollution is a serious challenge in Nigeria especially in Niger Delta area. There is, therefore, a need to source an affordable method that is eco-friendly for remediating these polluted soils. The study investigated the use of cassava peel waste, orange peel waste, and mixture of cassava and orange peels as a bio stimulating agent in bioremediation of crude oil polluted soil. Treatments were as follows, NCS: Non contaminated soil to serve as Control, COS: Contaminated soil without treatment to serve as Control, CSC: Contaminated soil with cassava peel treatment, CSO: Contaminated soil with orange peels treatment, CSC+ CSO: Contaminated soil with mixed waste treatment. Total organic carbon, total petroleum hydrocarbon, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon content, in soil.....

Abstract: The pollution caused by the pharmaceutical system is a threat to the environment and human health as chemicals from the waste that are not handled in the right way contaminates the soil and the water systems; thus, they can be detrimental to human beings and even nature. Most of the existing disposal practices such as incineration and dumping on the ground also do not completely destroy the hazardous substances and results to pollution in the air and water........
