The evidence of in-vivo and in-vitro studies on microplastic and nano plastic toxicity in mammals: A possible threat for an upcoming generation? Phys. Chem. Earth Parts A/B/C (IF 3.7) Pub Date : 2023-11-14 Simran Kauts, Shabnam Shabir, Sumaira Yousuf, Yachna Mishra, Rima Bhardwaj, Albaraa A. Milibari, Sandeep K. Singh, Mahendra P. Singh
Plastic pollution is a pressing global environmental concern, exerting significant impacts on both aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems in recent decades. The detrimental effects of plastic on various species within these habitats have raised serious alarm. Regrettably, human exposure to microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs) through contaminated food has become unavoidable, but the comprehensive

Assessing the impact of RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 scenarios on landslide susceptibility mapping using support vector machine: A case study of Penang Island, Malaysia Phys. Chem. Earth Parts A/B/C (IF 3.7) Pub Date : 2023-11-14 Mohamed Khatif Tawaf Mohamed Yusof, Ahmad Safuan A Rashid, Mohd Faisal Abdul Khanan, Muhammad Zulkarnain Abdul Rahman, Wardatun Ahmar Abdul Manan, Roohollah Kalatehjari, Ali Dehghanbanadaki
This paper investigates the climate change influence on landslide susceptibility mapping (LSM) using a case study conducted on Penang Island in Malaysia, a region prone to landslides. This study was carried out due to limited research assessing the climate change effect on LSM, considering rainfall and temperature. The study employs climate factors, including temperature and rainfall, alongside 12
