“…Several metals/metalloids (like Te) are toxic to humans. Exposure can occur through environmental pollution [ 126 ], occupational sources [ 127 ], the water cycle, and the food chain [ 128 , 129 ]. Most of these metals/metalloids accumulate in organs upon chronic exposure [ 130 ] and their biological effects may contribute to the shortening of the organs’ lifespan, mainly the kidneys, and ultimately lead to their early failure [ 103 ].…”

Tellurium (Te) is the heaviest stable chalcogen and is a rare element in Earth’s crust (one to five ppb). It was discovered in gold ore from mines in Kleinschlatten near the present-day city of Zlatna, Romania. Industrial and other applications of Te focus on its inorganic forms. Tellurium can be toxic to animals and humans at low doses. Chronic tellurium poisoning endangers the kidney, liver, and nervous system. However, Te can be effective against bacteria and is able to destroy cancer cells. Tellurium can also be used to develop redox modulators and enzyme inhibitors. Soluble salts that contain Te had a role as therapeutic and antimicrobial agents before the advent of antibiotics. The pharmaceutical use of Te is not widespread due to the narrow margin between beneficial and toxic doses, but there are differences between the measure of toxicity based on the Te form. Nano-tellurium (Te-NPs) has several applications: it can act as an adsorptive agent to remove pollutants, and it can be used in antibacterial coating, photo-catalysis for the degradation of dyes, and conductive electronic materials. Nano-sized Te particles are the most promising and can be produced in both chemical and biological ways. Safety assessments are essential to determine the potential risks and benefits of using Te compounds in various applications. Future challenges and directions in developing nano-materials, nano-alloys, and nano-structures based on Te are still open to debate.

“…Most bicycles still rely on human or manual power, making many users feel tired when travelling long distances. The issue of increasing air pollution is exacerbated by the increasing number of non-environmentally friendly motorized vehicles on the roads and is the cause of increasing pollution in Indonesia (Sukarno et al, 2016;Istiqomah & Marleni, 2020;Lestari et al, 2022;Abidin et al, 2024).…”

Along with the rapid development of technology, various types of transportation have experienced increased innovation in shapes, colours,models, and even engines. However, one thing that needs special attention is the number of pollutants or emissions released by vehicles. One effort to reduce emissions is increasing the production of Battery-Based Electric Motorized Vehicles. Battery-based electric vehicles developed in Indonesia include electric cars and electric motorcycles. Among these types of electric vehicles, Indonesian society widely adopts electric motorcycles. However, sales of electric motorbikes were only 15 thousand units, lower than sales of petrol motorbikes which reached 5 million units. This study contributes to understanding further how the community responds to electric motorcycles in detail through sentiment analysis on social media data. Consumer acceptance of electric motorcycles can be seen from the numerous active Twitter users in Indonesia who provide positive and negative comments on the presence of electric motorcycles. Text information based on public comments in Indonesia via Twitter is collected using Sentiment Analysis in R Studio. Twitter comments will be classified into positive, negative, and neutral groups. The results show 63% positive, 21% unfavourable, and 14% neutral opinions. This condition means that Indonesian society accepts and has a supportive opinion of the presence of electric motorcycles. The government and entrepreneurs can use this information to create electric motorcycles that align with the community's preferences.

“…Scientists say that, in the writer, when pollution is at its worst, breathing the air in Agra for a day is equivalent to smoking a pack of cigarettes [8]. Air Pollution is a pressing environmental concern that manifests on a global scale, as well as regionally, locally, in workplaces, and within landfills [2]. Traffic serves as a category of source encompassing primary particulate matter (PM) emissions from the exhaust, OM precursors originating from the combustion of fuels and lubricants, particles generated through the wear of brake linings, clutch, and tires, along with deposits on the road that become suspended alongside crustal/mineral dust particles and road wear debris.…”

This paper focuses on environmental policies for mitigating the impacts of climate change on the Taj Mahal, an iconic structure built on the banks of the Yamuna River from 1632 to 1653 with a blend of Persian and Indian architectural styles. The Taj Mahal is threatened by damage caused by climate change, including air pollution resulting in acid rain and floods that lead to erosion and discoloration of the main marble material of the Taj Mahal. This study employs a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) of peer-reviewed journal articles with a primary focus on environmental policy, the impacts of climate change, and the preventive measures undertaken by the Indian government. Based on the analysis of 270 papers, it is concluded that out of the total, 30 papers specifically address objectives relevant to this research. The study period spans from 2014 to 2024. The research findings reveal that air pollution has a significantly adverse impact on the Taj Mahal. Furthermore, nine policies are generally identified from the journal literature review aimed at preserving and protecting the Taj Mahal from the negative effects caused by air pollution.
