The construction of roads has become very popular in our age due to heightened modernization, industrialization and the various benefits reaped from proper road systems. However, construction processes massively contribute to environmental pollution and negatively impact socio-economic activities, necessitating this study. The aim of this paper is to assess the impact of road construction and soci......
A study on multi-ranged medicinal plants and soil temperature in various sites of Garhwal Himalaya, Uttarakhand Abstract Mountain ecosystems are particularly fragile while offering important environmental benefits to mankind. The Himalaya, known as the “King of the Mountains”, is the world’s youngest and tallest mountain ecosystem. The Garhwal Himalaya, where this study was conducted, is an integral part of the Himalayan mountain system, which falls under the North Indian sta... ...
Diffusion capability of Cs-137 in compacted soil and bentonite under groundwater-saturated conditionAbstract Several researches have been studied the diffusion coefficient (Da) of radionuclide in soil samples in varies location around the world; however, the effect of cations in groundwater as a medium of saturation for Cs-137 diffusion in soil and bentonite remains to be accomplished. Compacted soil and bentonite layers are utilized in the construction of radioac... ...

Phosphorus forms and adsorption properties of paddy field soils and potential risk to Indawgyi Lake, Myanmar Abstract The largest freshwater and oligotrophic lake in northern Myanmar, called Indawgyi Lake, is at potential risk of eutrophication due to the phosphorus (P) export from nearby paddy fields. In this study, the P status of the soil of paddy fields and its potential mobility to the lake water to cause eutrophication have been evaluated. The Indawgyi Lake is the th... ...
Heavy metal contamination in medicinal plants: assessing carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic health risks Abstract Medicinal plants have played an undeniable role in treating diseases in mankind. However, these plants may be contaminated by toxic substances like heavy metals. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the contamination and health risks (carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic) of heavy metals in economically important medicinal plants mostly in Northern Nigeria... ...
