Water quality index and human health risk analysis in urban drinking water sources Iqra Nasim, Rab Nawaz, Aysha Farwa, Sajjad Ahmad, Muhammad Atif Irshad, Sami A. Al-Hussain, Ali Irfan, Magdi E. A. Zaki Scientific Reports, 2026 The present study was conducted to assess the quality of drinking water in urban areas of Hafizabad and Pindi Bhattian through the Water Quality Index (WQI) and Human Health Risk Assessment (HHRA). Forty-eight samples were collected from four sources of drinking water, including filter plants, tube wells, tap water, and bore wells. Water samples were analyzed for physical, chemical, and biological parameters. Results for all the parameters were compared with World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines. Results showed that temperature, turbidity, and electrical conductivity frequently exceeded WHO guidelines, while pH was within its allowable range. The chemical parameters, such as dissolved oxygen, total dissolved solids, total hardness, and calcium hardness met WHO guidelines. However, E. coli was found higher than both WHO guidelines and National Environmental Quality Standards (NEQS) in tap water samples. Arsenic concentration was also higher than standards in tap water of Hafizabad. According to WQI, several urban sources, particularly tap water, had a very poor or unfit class for drinking purposes. HHRA found arsenic to have both non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic risks for adults and children. These findings highlight the need for improved treatment, distribution-system integrity, and routine monitoring to reduce long-term health risks in urban and peri-urban settings.
Synergistics effect of novel nano biochar on wheat growth, yield and antifungal response under cadmium contaminated soil: A field study Muhammad Atif Irshad, Ali Irfan, Aqil Inam, Uzma Zulfiqar, Sami A. Al-Hussain, Khawar Sultan, Afzal Hussain, Aamal A. Al-Mutairi, Rab Nawaz, Magdi E.A. Zaki Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2026 Agricultural productivity is seriously threatened by environmental stresses, including both biotic and abiotic factors. The consumption of wheat ( Triticum aestivum ) as a staple crop is associated with increased risks to human health due to contamination with cadmium (Cd) and fungal infections caused by Ustilago tritici . The current study investigates the influence of the cerium oxide nanoparticles (CeO 2 NPs) combined with wheat husk biochar (BC) on T. aestivum for the antifungal activity cultivated on cadmium (Cd) contaminated soil. To determine the efficacy of CeO 2 NPs alone and in combination with BC against the fungal attack of Ustilago tritici under the cadmium (Cd)-contaminated soil, which harms wheat crop yields worldwide. The investigation was carried out during the wheat growing season, using T. aestivum grown in the natural field condition. Cerium oxide NPs were foliar sprayed twice on wheat plants at three given levels: NPs 0 (0 mg L −1 ), NPs 50 (50 mg L −1 ), and NPs 100 (100 mg L −1 ), with BC used at 0 %, 0.5 %, 1.0 %, and 1.5 %, respectively, into the soil before seed sowing. The results of the current study indicated that 1.5 % BC along with 100 mg L −1 CeO 2 NPs had a synergistic effect on wheat growth, increasing the height from 98 cm to 140 cm along with an increase in spike length from 8 cm to 18 cm and achieving a combined grain and straw yield of 8 tons ha −1 . There was a remarkable increase in photosynthetic rate (7.4), transpiration rate (1.5), and stomatal conductance (1.4) together with an increase in chlorophyll a (2.5 mg g −1 FW) and chlorophyll b (2.65 mg g −1 FW) contents. The activities of antioxidants such as superoxide dismutase, peroxidase, catalase, and ascorbate peroxidase increased whereas the advanced oxidative stress markers electrolyte leakage (EL), malondialdehyde (MDA), and hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) levels dropped substantially. Moreover, the disease severity index was reduced from 75 % logged in the control to as low as 28 % for the combined treatment, portraying an increase in resistance to stress. Hence, this combined treatment has strong anti-fungal potential on U. tritici under the Cd-contaminated conditions, making it a promising technique for mitigating environmental illnesses and agricultural losses throughout the world. • Food insecurity across the world was caused by fungus pathogens and Cd-contaminated soil. • These stresses can be controlled by applying biochar and foliar spraying CeO₂ NPs. • CeO 2 NPs combined with wheat husk biochar were tested on Triticum aestivum against Ustilago tritici . • The combination of CeO₂ NPs (100 mg/L) and 1.5 % BC reduced disease severity 30 % and improved growth, yield, and antioxidant enzyme levels.
Impact of industrial wastewater on heavy metal contamination in agricultural soils and associated health risks Iqra Nasim, Bilal Ahmad, Muhammad Atif Irshad, Rab Nawaz, Rabail Alam, Nadia Ghani, M. Khairy, Ali Irfan, Sami A. Al-Hussain, Magdi E. A. Zaki Applied Water Science, 2026 This study evaluated heavy metal contamination in agricultural soils irrigated with untreated industrial wastewater from two major industrial zones in Lahore, Pakistan. Soil samples from cucumber (S1), wheat (S2), green chili (S3), potato (S4), ladyfinger (S5), and tomato (S6) field were collected from six industrial sites. Heavy metals including cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), lead (Pb), and nickel (Ni) were analyzed using atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS). Various indices such as the contamination factor (CF), potential contamination index (PCI), geo-accumulation index (Igeo), potential ecological risk index (PERI), and human health risk assessment (HHRA) were employed to assess pollution levels and associated health risks. Results showed that most heavy metal concentrations were within permissible limits set by the European Union (EU) and World Health Organization (WHO), except at certain sites. For instance, Cd at Site 4 was 0.085 mg/kg (above EU/WHO guideline of 0.05 mg/kg), Cr exceeded the limit (0.10 mg/kg) at all sites except Site 1, and Pb levels were higher than (0.1 mg/kg) at all sites except Sites 1 and 4. Ni concentrations surpassed guidelines (0.14 mg/kg) at all sites except Sites 1 and 2. Among all elements, Cr exhibited the highest contamination factor. The PCI results also indicated that Cr and Ni posed significant contamination potential. All soil samples exhibited PERI values exceeding 600, indicating a very high ecological risk. HHRA analysis showed that children were more vulnerable than adults to all four heavy metals, as per USEPA guidelines. This study provides a comprehensive, multi-index assessment of industrial wastewater-induced soil pollution and its implications for human health. Unlike previous research that focused on individual contaminants, this work integrates ecological and human health risk assessments, offering novel insights for urban environmental protection and sustainable agricultural practices.
Treatment of leather industry wastewater using Azadirachta indica plant extract in combination with copper nanoparticles: an eco-friendly approach Sami A. Al-Hussain, Muhammad Atif Irshad, Iqra Nasim, Rab Nawaz, Ghulam Murtuza, Aqil Inam, Ali Irfan, Magdi E. A. Zaki Applied Water Science, 2026 The current work aimed to develop a sustainable and eco-friendly method for treating leather industry wastewater using Azadirachta indica (neem) leaf extract and copper nanoparticles (Cu NPs) synthesized through a green synthesis approach from the same plant source. Three treatment phases were designed: (i) characterizing untreated (pre-treated) wastewater, (ii) treating with A. indica leaf extract at a 10:200 mL ratio, and (iii) treating with Cu NPs at 0.5 g/L in addition to A. indica extract. Key water quality parameters such as pH, chemical oxygen demand (COD), biological oxygen demand (BOD), total dissolved solids (TDS), total suspended solids (TSS), and chromium (Cr) concentration were analyzed for each case and compared to the Pakistan Environmental Quality Standards (PEQS). The results revealed considerable increases in water quality following treatment. Treatment with A. indica extract alone resulted in significant COD, BOD, TDS, TSS, and pH reductions, whereas the addition of Cu NPs increased removal efficiency even more. COD dropped from 510 to 40 mg L −1 , BOD from 145 to 116 mg L −1 , TDS from 3829 to 499 mg L −1 , and pH fell from 9.0 to 6.5, bringing the treated water closer to regulatory norms. Furthermore, the maximum Cr removal was 98%, equivalent to an adsorption capacity of 49 mg/g at an equilibrium pH of 5, a contact period of 2 h, and a Cu NPs dose of 0.5 g L −1 . To better understand the adsorption behavior and process, equilibrium data were fitted to several isotherm models, with the Langmuir isotherm model providing the best fit, implying monolayer chemisorption as the dominant mechanism for Cr removal. This green treatment strategy, which combines plant-based bioactive chemicals with metal nanoparticles, provides a cost-effective and environmentally friendly option for reducing pollution from the leather industry. The study proposes implementing this technology on an industrial scale for optimal wastewater management and environmental preservation.

Based on the analysis conducted by thermal performance factor and an economic study, the five-start corrugated rod was found to possess both functional and economic advantages. The thermal performance factor value of the five-start rod ranged from 1.46 to 1.92, indicating its superior performance. Additionally, utilizing the five-start rod resulted in cost savings of approximately 5.95 percent.
A comprehensive review of cadmium removal by adsorptive mechanism from wastewater using carbon-based nanotubes Muhammad Atif Irshad, Saira Younas, Iqra Nasim, Rab Nawaz, Zeemal Sameeb Amin, Shazia Perveen, M. Khairy, Ali Irfan, Sami A. Al-Hussain, Magdi E. A. Zaki Applied Water Science, 2026 Cadmium (Cd) contamination of aquatic ecosystems poses significant environmental and public health risks. Conventional wastewater treatment methods including ion exchange, coagulation, membrane filtration, chemical precipitation, and biological degradation exhibited operational limitations in Cd removal efficiency and cost-effectiveness. Consequently, adsorption-based technologies utilizing nanomaterials have gained prominence as advanced alternatives. Engineered nanomaterials, particularly metallic/metalloid oxides and carbon-based structures, offer superior Cd adsorption capabilities due to their exceptional surface area-to-volume ratios, tunable surface chemistry, and multifunctional reactivity. Among these, carbon nanotubes (CNTs), especially multi-walled variants (MWCNTs), present a cost-effective, scalable, and sustainable solution for heavy metals (HMs) remediation. This review critically evaluates the adsorption mechanisms of Cd onto MWCNTs, Synthesis and functionalization strategies to enhance adsorption capacities, and comparative efficacy of CNTs against emerging metallic oxide nanomaterials. Recent advances in nanomaterial design, including surface modification and composite synthesis, are highlighted for their role in optimizing Cd removal kinetics and selectivity. Future research directions emphasize assessing long-term ecotoxicological risks of nanomaterial deployment and developing encapsulation protocols to mitigate environmental release while advancing next-generation adsorbents.
Investigation of graphite coating for heat exchanger surface protection against calcium carbonate fouling deposition and corrosion Kaleemullah Shaikh, Rab Nawaz, Samr Ul Hasnain, Salim Newaz Kazi, Mohd Nashrul Mohd Zubir, Bushroa Binti Abdul Razak, Kok Hoe Wong, Wajahat Ahmed Khan, Mohanad A. Alfellag Experimental Heat Transfer, 2026 Fouling is termed as the accumulation of undesirable substances on the surface of heat exchangers. It usually forms from the precipitation of dissolved mineral salts, which reduces the heat transfer rate and introduces corrosion on the heat transfer surface. Thus, it is mandatory to explore sustainable sources to inhibit the fouling and corrosion on heat exchanger surfaces. The present study investigated heat transfer improvement and retardation of CaCO3 fouling and corrosion by applying a thin graphite layer coating on the heat transfer surface. The results revealed that the graphite-coated surface enhanced the heat transfer and retarded fouling deposition and corrosion.
