Biological approaches to mitigate heavy metal pollution from battery production effluents: advances, challenges, and perspectives

mycolabadmin

Battery factories produce dirty water containing harmful heavy metals like lead and cadmium. Instead of using expensive chemical treatments, scientists are finding natural ways to clean this water using plants, bacteria, and other living organisms. These biological methods can remove up to 99% of the metals and are better for the environment. This review examines all these natural cleaning methods and suggests ways to make battery production cleaner and safer.

Mycotoxin contamination in Malawi: A systematic review of progress and trends in contamination, knowledge, attitude, and practices

mycolabadmin

This review examines mycotoxin (toxic mold) contamination in Malawi and found that most people—farmers, traders, and health workers—don’t know about these dangerous substances or how to prevent them. Although groundnuts and maize are well-studied, other commonly eaten foods like dried fish and mushrooms have been largely ignored in research. Despite years of efforts to educate communities, awareness remains critically low at about 24.5%, and poverty often forces people to eat contaminated food because it’s cheaper.
