Barriers to the Adoption of Circular Economy Business Models in the Indian Textile Industry

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Indian textile industry has significant negative impacts on the environment. This industry needs to adopt a circular economy approach to become more sustainable; however, progress on this has been limited. In this study, we report on the barriers to adoption of Circular Economy Business Models (CEBMs) in the Indian textile industry.

Palaeosol Control of Arsenic Pollution: The Bengal Basin in West Bengal, India [PDF]

, 2014
Groundwater in the Bengal Basin is badly polluted by arsenic (As) which adversely affects human health. To provide low-As groundwater for As mitigation, it was sought across 235 km2 of central West Bengal, in the western part of the basin. By drilling 76

Waste activated sludge high‐rate treatment of septage: Biodegradability studies and contact phase trials towards a cleaner environment

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract The waste activated sludge high‐rate (WASHR) process, developed in our previous study, is used for septic wastewater treatment. This high‐rate contact stabilization pre‐treatment uses typical waste streams found in wastewater treatment plants to reduce a portion of the loadings on the main treatment trains.

Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics of GMDTC for Cadmium Poisoning: A Randomized Phase 1a/1b Trial

Clinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Cadmium exposure causes serious health consequences; however, there is no clinically approved antidote for cadmium poisoning. This Phase 1a/1b trial aimed to investigate safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of Sodium (S)‐2‐(dithiocarboxylato((2S,3R,4R,5R)‐2,3,4,5,6‐pentahydroxyhexyl) amino)‐4‐(methylthio) butanoate (GMDTC), a novel chelating ...

Distribution and Mobility of Arsenic Species in Solids and Leachate Composts

Pakistan Journal of Analytical & Environmental Chemistry, 2016
Because arsenic can exist in toxic and non-toxic forms, it is important to identify them in compost. This organic material prepared from urban and agricultural wastes, is often used for recovering or remedying soils.

Antibacterial Activity of Heteropolytungstates Against Proteus mirabilis

European Journal of Inorganic Chemistry, EarlyView.
We investigated the in vitro antibacterial activity of several heteropolytungstates against P. mirabilis, a drug‐resistant pathogen. All tested polyanions inhibited bacterial growth, with the Preyssler–Pope–Jeannin polyanion P5W30 exhibiting the highest activity (MIC = 0.78 mg/mL).

Chemical Composition, Amino Acids, Phenolic Profiles and Bioavailability of Minerals in Livingstone Potato (Plectranthus esculentus) as Affected by Different Processing Techniques

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.
Boiling retained the nutrients and polyphenol compounds in Plectranthus esculentus tubers better than frying or roasting. A bioavailability study showed that the phytates and oxalates in the tuber may not affect the bioavailabilities of calcium, zinc, or iron in Plectranthus esculentus tubers when eaten.
