“…In work (Evangeliou & Eckhardt, 2020), when studying the real conditions for extinguishing a fire in April 2020 (Ukraine), which lasted 22 days, it is reported that even if fire-fighters remain in the CEZ after trying to extinguish fires, and then return to extinguish another fire the next day, remaining 60% of the time in indoors, the total doses will amount to about 1% of the annual external exposure dose from the background radiation left over from the Chernobyl accident. Nevertheless, even in such a situation, firefighters should be equipped with the necessary respiratory protection, and field hospitals should be organized in places where firefighters are located (Khan et al, 2019a;Khan et al, 2019b) for a quick response in case of deterioration of their health. These hospitals are also recommended to be equipped with inexpensive mobile filters that absorb toxic gases, for example based on composite films (Mozaffari et al, 2021).…”

The purpose to highlight and focus on the most important risks of forest fires in radiationcontaminated areas, with some detailing of the problem in the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone (CEZ). The search strategy was to collect a sufficient number of relevant publications in ScienceDirect, PubMed, Mendeley, ResearchGate, GoogleScholar from 2006 to the present in English, Russian, Ukrainian. Requests were made on the topics "Forest fires in a radioactively contaminated area" and "Assessing the territories' radiation safety", as well as for the keywords of this study. Analysis of available open information about the CEZ was done. Although, in the future, temperatures are expected to rise in contaminated forests, and the amount of precipitation will remain the same or slightly decrease, which will contribute to an increase in the frequency of fires. Considering the socio-economic situation in Ukraine, the introduction of early detection systems is more profitable than the elimination of the consequences of such emergencies. Investigations have been studied, which were published after 2006 only in English, Russian, and Ukrainian. The most attention is paid to Chernobyl Exclusion Zone. Despite the fact that a lot of studies are devoted to the study of the ecological situation in radioactively contaminated areas, many issues related to safety still concern the population living in this area. The reason for this is intermittent fires, which again and again cover large areas with smoke and cannot be extinguished for a long time. To eliminate anxiety, it is necessary to convey truthful information to the population in the most accessible and convincing way. It was a critical look at numerous studies in this area that made it possible to present concentrated information understandable for most segments of the population. The document concentrates on the most key problems of fires in radioactive forests, shows the intensity of the radionuclides impact on the population and the exposure ways, as well as the probable risks. Such information is necessary to reduce the psychological stress that can be caused by the media influence. Objectively understood situation promotes constructive action in extreme conditions and reduces the likelihood of panic.

“…There were positive results compared to other water treatment techniques because of their high surface area (superface/volume ratio), metal containing nanoparticles, carbonaceous nanomaterials, zeolites and dendrimers and nanofibers. In their paper, [32] discussed a few recently used nanomaterials that are currently used in water treatment, with an emphasis on nano-based adsorbents and filtration membranes.…”

Artificial intelligence (AI) has already changed the world and has made an effective impact in a range of fields including industry, criminal law, health, national security, transport, nanotechnology, intelligent cities as well as issues such as algorithms and access to the data. This paper shows how these technologies are a great asset to humans and are programmed to reduce human effort as much as possible. They tend to possess the capability to work in an automated fashion. Therefore, manual intervention is the last thing that could be asked for or seen while operating parts associated with this technology. As well as the paper shows the different universal efforts of AI techniques to face the pandemic of COVID-19.

Soil and water resources pollution by heavy metals, specially originated from anthropogenic sources, as a result of their toxicity ramification on human health, has been known as a major and serious environmental problem for last few decades. Particularly relevant is the problem of pharmaceutical wastewater, as this wastewater contains active pharmaceutical ingredients and a wide range of heavy metals. In the same time the food waste is commonly produced in all the steps of food life cycle, such as during agricultural production, industrial manufacturing, processing and distribution and even consumer-generated in the context of private households. Mostly they have high-value components such as phytochemicals, proteins, flavour compounds, polysaccharides, fibers, and which can be re-used as nutraceuticals and functional ingredients. The research aim is to study the potential of food and agricultural waste to remove heavy metals from contaminated water and soil. The study the potential of food and agricultural waste to remove heavy metals from contaminated water and soil was conducted on the basis of open scientific sources. Scientific sources were selected by keywords no later than 2003 or with high citation value. Bio-sorption is a relatively new process that has proven very promising for the removal of heavy metals from wastewater. Due to the higher affinity of the adsorbent for the adsorbate species, the latter is attracted and bound there by different mechanisms. The process continues till equilibrium is established between the amount of solid-bound adsorbate species and its portion remaining in the solution. The feasibility of using an adsorbent is based on the cost of the bio sorbent has to be optimum, as they often are made from abundant or waste material. Peel of citrus and pomegranate, vegetables peel, fruit pit shell, tea and herbal tea waste and agricultural waste mix demonstrate great potential as bio-adsorbent.
