Canavalia rosea is a leguminous, sand dune plant, commonly known as "beach bean or jack bean" in India.The plant shows the pantropical distribution, in America, Asia, Antilles, Africa, and Oceania. It has bioactive compounds, namely tannins, phlorotannins, saponins, flavonoids, alkaloids, cardiac glycosides and phenolics. Most of its sections including roots, stem, leaves, pods, seeds and flowers are utilized as medicine against flu, viruses, bacteria and fungi. The plant is traditionally explored for several ailments, rheumatism, tuberculosis, leprosy, haemorrhage, and also exhibits anti-microbial, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, anti-plasmodial, activities. The review briefs about taxonomic description, plant characteristics, geographical distribution, and pharmacological activity, nutritional and anti-nutritional features, proximate features, etc.. The research can be drawn out to ascertain novel compounds, which enable to the discovery of potential drug targets for specific diseases or ailments, in future and determination of these promising constituents endorses their role in alternative medicine.

“…Heavy metals (lead, arsenic), carbon monoxide, hydrogen cyanide, formaldehyde, nitrosamines, ammonia, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), radioactive elements, and several other substances are also components. Accumulation of heavy metals in tobacco represents a direct pathway for their entry into the human body (Samaila et al, 2021a andSamaila et al, 2021b).The brain responds to acute exposure to tobacco smoke by reducing overall brain activity, activating the thalamus, prefrontal cortex, and visual cortex systems, and increasing the levels of dopamine in the ventral striatum/nucleus accumbens. Chronic nicotine or tobacco smoke exposure results in decreased basal ganglia monoamine oxidase (MAO) A and B activity as well as decreased thalamic and limbic 42 nAChR availability.…”

Smokers and users of smokeless tobacco are at risk for fatal illnesses. These could be brought on by the quantity of radioactive, carcinogenic, and harmful to living things, radioactive isotopes from the decay chain of uranium and thorium present. An extensive assessment of the health effects on users was deemed necessary due to the rising intake of both smoke and smokeless tobacco. Particularly, the use of smokeless tobacco has grown significantly as a result of its widespread availability and the false perception that it is less harmful than smoking. The epidemic of tobacco smoking in its many forms has been a serious worldwide health problem with far-reaching effects, and its myriad harmful effects on health have long been documented. In this study, radiological consequences of smoke and smokeless tobacco were researched in the literature for publications up to 2022. Research Gate, Pub Med, and Google Scholar are a few of the literature databases that were searched. The World Health Organization estimates that tobacco-related diseases caused over 8 million deaths in 2017 alone, and if current trends continue, it predicts that this number would rise to about 1 billion in the 21st century. Numerous studies have demonstrated a strong link between tobacco use and debilitating diseases like cancer, insulin resistance, hypertension, acute respiratory sickness, osteoporosis, etc. Increasing amounts of evidence, albeit still sparse, point to its potential role in negatively influencing reproductive capacity and outcomes in women of reproductive age. This article offers a current assessment of the literature on the harmful effects of smoking and using smokeless tobacco on both male and female reproductive health as well as the detrimental impacts on the unborn child. Data now available points to a connection between chronic tobacco use and ovarian shape and function deterioration, oocyte quality, hormonal disruptions, fetal development, and long-term health impacts on the fetus, the risks of smoke and smokeless tobacco products may be better understood as a result of a greater understanding of these issues. Most of the collected data showed that smoke and smokeless tobacco both had increased radioactivity.

“…When the search is limited to documents having the term "radon" in the title, the number of publications found is drastically decreases to 440. Because of this discrepancy, the database was always searched for keywords as part of the title/abstract/ Keyword to keep away from rejecting publications that did not have the keywords in the title [22]. The results that were achieved are shown in Table 1.…”

Radon is a colorless, odorless indoor and outdoor air pollutant that is produced by uranium disintegrations (decay). It represents at least half of the typical population's ionizing radiation exposure due to man-made and natural origin. Attention was paid to radon due to its harmful radiological effect on public health. Population have for all time been exposed to radon and its progeny since they are naturally occurred and enter homes through a variety of pathways such as buildings (such as ceiling, walls & floor), Water, Soils and rocks. Radon detection is rarely important because it is not known to exist unless there is a wellbeing distress. The quantity of radon present within water, rock-soils and buildings varies on a number of variables. According to the retrieved studies, indoor radon levels are generally higher during the cold and wet seasons than they are during the summer. This systematic review focuses on the radiological implications arise from high exposure to radon and the elevated probability of happening of wellbeing harms in exposed residents of Nigeria. Previous research on radon concentrations in Nigeria received the most attention. Only a few studies provided evidence supporting the link between outdoor and indoor radon concentrations and radiological implications analyses, such as the evaluation of cancer risk from radon inhalation and ingestion yet within areas of extremely high concentrations. On the other hand, a few studies also revealed a tendency for adverse effects on public health to occur still within circumstances where indoor radon concentrations be lesser. According to data derived from published articles by Nigerian researchers, radon exposure caused some little concern over the association between radon concentration and determinations of radiological impact. Therefore, it is crucial to evaluate the radiological effects of radon, comprehend the dangers of exposure, and determine how inhabitants in Nigeria who are exposed to it may suffer health effects. The best course of action to prevent the harmful consequences of radon gas in an indoor or outdoor environment is to stop its production. Preethi and Jeyanthi offered some methods for radon mitigation in buildings. Depressurization, freshening, and sealing fall under these categories, with related percentage effectiveness ranges of 50-80%, 80-95%, and 50-70%.
