Summary: Remediation of polluted environmental media is crucial for achieving the goals of the United Nations Decade on Ecosystem Restoration. Africa's natural-resource dependent economies face numerous contaminated sites from mining and other activities, leading to increased exposure to carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Widespread PAH contamination has been observed, and ineffective remedial methods have resulted in residual contaminant levels exceeding regulatory thresholds. Bioremediation shows promise as a sustainable option, with low emissions, environmental impact, and cost. Integrating biological and physico-chemical approaches can effectively address various concentrations of PAH contamination.

Summary: A green and low-cost voltammetric sensor, poly(L-Ornithine) film modified glassy carbon electrode (PLO/GCE), was fabricated for the first time to detect thiamethoxam. The PLO/GCE was prepared by one-step electrodeposition, which is environmentally friendly, convenient and highly controllable. The proposed sensor showed high sensitivity to thiamethoxam detection, and a wider linear range and lower detection limit were achieved using linear sweep voltammetry.

Summary: Polypyrrole-gelatin aerogels containing magnetic barium ferrite particles were synthesized and used for the removal of Cr(VI) from aqueous media. The optimal pH for adsorption was found to be 4, due to the dominance of HCrO4- species and its better adsorption and reduction compared to CrO42-. The presence of magnetic particles did not affect the adsorption performance of the aerogels. The adsorption mechanism involved electrostatic interaction between chromium and the adsorbent.

Summary: The global plastic waste is increasing due to the mass production and extensive use of surgical face masks during the COVID-19 outbreak. In order to address the environmental concerns, alternative face coverings are needed. This study developed electrospun nanofibrous mats (NM) using a renewable biopolymer, pullulan, and a naturally occurring essential oil compound, trans-cinnamaldehyde (CAH), in γ-cyclodextrin inclusion complexes (γ-CD-IC). These NM can be easily inserted into cloth masks and have higher loading efficiency compared to other mats. They also demonstrated good antibacterial activity, storage stability, thermal stability, and desirable properties such as pore size and water vapor permeability.
