The global consumption of antiviral drugs (AVD) during the ongoing pandemic has overwhelmed wastewater treatment plants, which struggle to effectively remove these compounds due to their hydrophilic nature. Current methods fall short of fully degrading AVDs, leaving behind potentially harmful residues. In this study, we aim to investigate the photocatalytic degradation of oseltamivir phosphate under UV light, with and without...

This study, conducted in Shosha, Minia, Egypt, aimed to evaluate the effects of magnetically treated saline groundwater on both soil characteristics and the performance of tomato crops grown in arid sandy soils. The influence of magnetic fields on water quality was first assessed to determine its suitability for irrigation. Subsequently, the combined effects of MWT with different irrigation methods—namely, surface drip irrigat...

This study investigated the interactions between cymothoids parasitism, environmental stressors, and heavy metal bioaccumulation in commercially farmed fish in the Deeba Triangle area, Egypt. Over 600 fish, comprising gilthead seabream ( Sparus aurata ) and two mullet species ( Mugil cephalus and Liza ramada ), were examined during spring and summer 2023. Seasonal variations in cymothoids parasite infestation showed higher pre...
