“…Environmental policies form the backbone of initiatives aimed at safeguarding public health from the deleterious impacts of environmental stressors. Comprehensive policies, encompassing air and water quality standards, waste management protocols, and regulations targeting industrial emissions, are instrumental in curbing exposures that pose risks to human health (Khanzada et al, 2023).…”

Environmental factors play a pivotal role in shaping public health outcomes on a global scale. This paper provides a succinct overview of the review exploring the intricate relationship between environmental elements and public health, highlighting the challenges faced worldwide and proposing solutions for a healthier future. The review begins by dissecting the diverse range of environmental challenges that significantly impact public health. From air and water pollution to climate change, the scope encompasses both traditional pollutants and emerging threats. The interconnectedness of ecosystems and human health is underscored, emphasizing the need for a comprehensive understanding of environmental determinants. Amidst the challenges, the review navigates through innovative solutions and strategies to mitigate the adverse health effects of environmental factors. Initiatives addressing pollution reduction, sustainable urban planning, and ecosystem preservation emerge as key components. The exploration extends to the incorporation of advanced technologies, data-driven interventions, and international collaborations to tackle environmental health issues at a global level. Furthermore, the review delves into the importance of public awareness and education in fostering sustainable practices. Empowering communities to understand the reciprocal relationship between their environment and health is identified as a crucial aspect of long-term solutions. The role of policymakers and advocacy in promoting environmental policies that prioritize public health outcomes is also emphasized. The review encapsulates the intricate web of challenges posed by environmental factors to public health and envisions a future where proactive measures and collaborative efforts lead to a harmonious coexistence between human populations and their surroundings. The proposed solutions aim to inspire a paradigm shift towards sustainable practices, ensuring a healthier and resilient global community.

The ability of alginates to form hydrogel solutions makes them a promising biomaterial for three-dimensional (3D) printing. Researchers are investigating several techniques to improve the alginate hydrogels’ quality, such as using alginate-based nanocomposites as materials for 3D printing. This review examines the material of alginate-based composites, the printing technique, and the applications of 3D printing alginate-based composites. Material composites for 3D printing include alginate with clay, a combination of alginate with polymers or biopolymers, and a mixture of alginate with metal oxide and carbon. The 3D printing material from alginate combined with polymers is usually used in the medical and green packaging industries, whereas a mixture of alginate with clay, metal oxide, and carbon 3D printing material is utilized in the environmental field. When considering printing procedures, extrusion techniques are the most affordable. Furthermore, the purpose of alginate composite characterization is to determine the impact generated by the material combinations. This characterization is carried out based on the intended application. However, it is common to employ mechanical, thermal, rheological, scanning electron, XRD, and FTIR analysis to identify the fundamental characteristics of the alginate composite according to research.

Microorganisms (MOs) are prominent in ecological functioning and balance. The rhizosphere is considered one of the most diverse ecosystems on Earth and serves as a breeding spot for many MOs. Rhizosphere microbial diversity changes according to plant species, genotype, and the nature of the soil. The current study reports the possible use of bacteria isolated from the rhizosphere of Azadirachta indica for synthesizing silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). The physicochemical characterization and antibacterial activity of these green synthesized AgNPs are also reported. The gene (16S rRNA) sequence of bacteria isolated from the rhizosphere showed a maximum similarity of 99.25% with Bacillus subtilis. After incubation, the colorless reaction mixture transformed to brown, which indicates the formation of AgNPs, and UV-vis spectral analysis also confirmed the biosynthesis of AgNPs. Compared to lower temperatures, the efficiency of AgNP synthesis was high at the higher temperature. The scanning electron microscope image demonstrated spherical-shaped AgNPs with sizes ranging from 18 to 21 nm. Energy-dispersive X-ray analysis established the elemental analysis of synthesized AgNPs. The synthesized AgNPs showed strong bactericidal properties against pathogenic bacteria Klebsiella pneumonia, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.
