Mobility and risk assessment of heavy metals in benthic sediments using contamination factors, positive matrix factorisation (PMF) receptor model, and human health risk assessment
Metal pollution in benthic sediments was fractionated and modelled to quantify the risk of anthropogenic activities on river ecosystems. In this study, the individual contamination factor (ICF) and the global ...

Biodegradation of an intrusive weed Parthenium hysterophorus through in-vessel composting technique: toxicity assessment and spectroscopic study
Parthenium hysterophorus is a toxic terrestrial weed with its erratic behavior brought on by the presence of toxic compounds. A numerous works have been conducted on the complete eradication of this weed, but due...

Reduction of bioavailability and leachability of heavy metals during vermicomposting of water hyacinth
Vermicomposting of water hyacinth is a good alternative for the treatment of water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) and subsequentially, beneficial for agriculture purposes. The bioavailability and leachability of...
