UV-Accelerated Photocatalytic Degradation of Pesticide over Magnetite and Cobalt Ferrite Decorated Graphene Oxide Composite
(
MDPI
, 2020 , Article)
Pesticides are one of the main organic pollutants as they are highly toxic and extensively used worldwide. The reclamation of wastewater containing pesticides is of utmost importance. For this purpose, GO-doped metal ...
Impact of SARS-CoV-2 on Ambient Air Quality in Northwest China (NWC)
(
MDPI
, 2021 , Article)
SARS-CoV-2 was discovered in Wuhan (Hubei) in late 2019 and covered the globe by March 2020. To prevent the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 outbreak, China imposed a countrywide lockdown that significantly improved the air quality. ...
Pollution Characteristics of Particulate Matter (PM2.5 and PM10) and Constituent Carbonaceous Aerosols in a South Asian Future Megacity
(
MDPI
, 2020 , Article)
The future megacity of Faisalabad is of prime interest when considering environmental
health because of its bulky population and abundant industrial and anthropogenic sources of coarse particles (PM10) and fine airborne ...
Understanding the role of atmospheric circulations and dispersion of air pollution associated with extreme smog events over South Asian megacity
(
Springer
, 2022 , Article)
The winter fog/haze events in northeastern Pakistan and surrounding regions of India are often mixed with pollutants to form smog, and consequently damage human health and hampers daily life in the form of fatalities through ...
Mixed metal ferrite (Mn0.6Zn0.4Fe2O4) intercalated g-C3N4 nanocomposite: efficient sunlight driven photocatalyst for methylene blue degradation
(
IOP Publishing
, 2021 , Article)
Visible active mixed metal ferrite intercalated semiconductor photocatalyst Mn0.6Zn0.4Fe2O4/g-C3N4 was prepared via facile hydrothermal and liquid assembly method for methylene blue (MB) dye degradation. The prepared samples ...
Long-Term Variability of Aerosol Concentrations and Optical Properties over the Indo-Gangetic Plain in South Asia
(
MDPI
, 2022 , Article)
Emissions of atmospheric pollutants are rapidly increasing over South Asia. A greater understanding of seasonal variability in aerosol concentrations over South Asia is a scientific challenge and has consequences due to a ...
Fabrication of low emissivity paint for thermal/NIR radiation insulation for domestic applications
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
Recently, low-emissivity paint has gained more importance than commercial paints. Low emissivity (Low-E) Paint also termed as a coating for radiation control, in which the emissivity of radiations of longer waves are reduced ...
The Potential Impact of Climate Extremes on Cotton and Wheat Crops in Southern Punjab, Pakistan
(
MDPI
