Like authors lakes, heavy metals contamination in Chotts has become a concerning matter to the environmental research, due to the ecological
and health implications, particularly in developing countries. The study of water contamination in Chotts is not like the other water bodies, Chotts
have its own characteristics. While acknowledging a lack of existing scientific information concerning metals pollution of Chotts., the purpose of this
mini-review is to high-lights and increases the understanding of the factors which controlling the existing and distribution of heavy metals in surface
water of the Chotts. This review will provide detail information and discusses on various elements of heavy metals issues in Chotts including: the
concentration, distribution, human exposure and analytical aspects.

Coal fly ash is a byproduct of coal combustion and represents a significant waste stream that poses environmental and health challenges. The presence of valuable metals within coal fly ash, coupled with its disposal issues, has spurred research into innovative ways to extract and recover these metals. Biometallurgy, a biotechnological approach utilizing microorganisms, holds great promise for the sustainable valorization of coal fly ash waste. This article explores the potential of microorganisms in biometallurgical processes to recover valuable metals from coal fly ash, highlighting their environmental and economic benefits. Coal-fired power plants have been a crucial source of energy for decades, but they generate substantial amounts of waste, including coal fly ash. Coal fly ash is a fine particulate material that results from the combustion of coal. Its disposal has raised environmental concerns due to potential leaching of heavy metals and other contaminants into soil and water, as well as the risk of airborne dispersion.

Lychee is a tropical and subtropical fruit that has gained popularity worldwide due to its unique flavor and nutritional value. Rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, lychee is a favorite among fruit enthusiasts. However, like many agricultural products, lychee can be susceptible to heavy metal contamination, which poses potential health risks to consumers. This article explores the occurrence of heavy metals in lychee, their sources, and the methods for assessing health risks associated with their consumption. Heavy metals are naturally occurring elements with high atomic weights and can be toxic to humans when present in excessive amounts. They include lead (Pb), Cadmium (Cd), mercury (Hg), Arsenic (As), and Chromium (Cr), among others. These metals can enter the lychee fruit through various pathways, including soil, water, and air.

Urbanization has been one of the defining global trends of the 21st century. As people flock to cities in search of economic opportunities and a better quality of life, urban areas are becoming increasingly crowded and polluted. One of the most pressing challenges associated with urbanization is the rise in air pollution, which has detrimental effects on population health. In this article, we will delve into the complex relationship between urban air pollution and population health, exploring how machine learning techniques can be leveraged to evaluate and understand this critical issue. Air pollution is a major environmental problem that affects people worldwide. While it is a concern in both urban and rural areas, urban air pollution poses unique challenges due to the concentration of population and industrial activities. The primary contributors to urban air pollution include vehicular emissions, industrial processes, construction activities, and the combustion of fossil fuels for heating and energy production.

In an era marked by growing environmental concerns and the urgent need for sustainable practices, environmental innovation has become a critical area of focus for businesses worldwide. Companies are increasingly recognizing the importance of incorporating environmentally friendly practices and technologies into their operations, not only to mitigate their impact on the planet but also to gain a competitive edge in the market. This essay explores the heterogeneous effects of environmental innovation across companies, shedding light on the various ways in which businesses contribute to, and benefit from, environmentally sustainable practices. Environmental innovation refers to the development and implementation of new products, services, processes, or business models with the primary goal of reducing environmental harm or improving sustainability. It encompasses a wide range of activities, from the adoption of cleaner production techniques to the creation of eco-friendly products and the utilization of renewable energy sources. Environmental innovation has gained prominence due to increasing regulatory pressures, consumer demands for sustainable products, and the growing recognition of environmental issues such as climate change, resource depletion, and pollution.
