“…It is well known, the copper is both an indispensable element and also poisonous at higher levels. As conferred above, exposure to higher levels of copper can elicit acute adverse effects to the liver and also engender the gastrointestinal symptoms like abdominal pain, cramps, nausea, diarrhea, and vomiting (Asokan et al 2021;Buchanan et al 1994;Fewtrell et al 1996;Gotteland et al 2001). Predominantly, several studies have reported ingestion of larger copper concentrations in drinking water have ensued in liver toxicosis mainly in infants and children (Abedi Sarvestani and Aghasi 2019;Gomaa et al 2021;Taylor et al 2020).…”

“…Copper in excess amounts not only causes oxidative stress but also damages to DNA and reduces cell proliferation. Symptom of copper toxicity is seen when copper sulfate of more than 1 g is ingested (Asokan et al 2021;Sharrett et al 1982). Copper toxicosis that is resulted from metabolic defect, which is inherited, is classified as primary, and when it is resulted from high intake of copper and low excretion (due to involved pathologic process) is considered as secondary (Harada et al 2020;Taylor et al 2020).…”

“…Several techniques have been developed for copper removal, water treatment, purification and disinfection (Abedi Sarvestani and Aghasi 2019; Asokan et al 2021;Bashir et al 2021;Gomaa et al 2021;Lytle et al 2019;Sharma et al 2020) that are expensive and not easy to carry and also unavailable for rural regions. Water purification was mentioned in ancient Ayurvedic texts by storing it in copper and silver pots.…”

In most developing countries, drinking water is still a serious challenge. Many water purification methods exist, but they are costly and out of reach for many people. Copper is an ancient metal that has been used from several thousands of years. Because of its antibacterial properties, ancient cultures held this metal in high regard. Copper vessels are still in use today for storing drinking water due to its ability to purify water. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate the copper concentration in drinking water after storing in copper containers/bottle over different time periods with respect to copper safety levels. For this study, water is stored in a copper container up to 168 h and the water samples are collected at different intervals. The concentration of copper is analyzed in water samples using ICPMS, and it ranges from 0.009 to 0.823 mg/L, which indicates as time increases simultaneously copper content also raises in the stored water. The higher copper content was detected at sample@168 h which was also well within the permissible limits of World Health Organization and United States Environmental Protection Agency.

“…Copper is paramount element at optimum levels and becomes toxic at higher concentrations. The harmful consequences subject to higher concentration of copper are triggered to liver and also induce hepato-biliary evidences like midriff pain, cramps, nausea, diarrhea, and vomiting (Asokan et al 2021;Gotteland et al 2001). It has been reported that consumption of high amount of copper through qua ng water has eventuated in liver toxicity, mostly in newborn and adolescents.…”

Landfills are regarded most cost effective and accomplishable operation for managing waste in numerous parts of the world. Inspite of many merits, it gives rise to remarkable menace to different domains of the environment owing to the existence of noxious inanimate and animate components in the leachate and imperfectly evolved solid refuse handling techniques. Water is indispensable for bolstering existence, growth, and the environment and is one of the fundamental indicator of fiscal expansion and communal opulence of a country. Percolation of noxious substances from unscientific dumpsites is among the main environmental consequences of these landfills in majority of the progressing countries like India. Leachate serves as a prominent point source of contamination in many environmental media like soil, ground water and surface water around the world. So the prime issues humans are experiencing are associated with water quality. Thus the investigation was accomplished to investigate the impact of leachate from Achan landfill on surface water quality in Temperate Himalayas. Monitoring was done during all the four seasons viz, spring, summer, autumn and winter. Leachate outflow site was found to have highest mean value of pH (8.4), EC (4.50), total Nitrogen (3.55), P (5.78),K (1.90), Ca (114.40), Mg (60.35), Fe (2.25), Cu (0.84), Mn (1.03), BOD (29.32), COD (95.68), temperature (20.23), NTU (19.70) during summer season, while as lowest mean values of EC (0.12), total Nitrogen (0.79), P (2.19),K (0.25), Ca (43.06), Mg (21.83), Fe (0.67), Cu (0.25), Mn (0.30), BOD (6.08), COD (24.55), temperature (3.56), NTU (1.78) were recorded at control site during winter season. From the study we concluded that a decreasing trend was observed during all the seasons in the concentration of all physico chemical paramaters with increase in distance from landfill. So it is recommended that the leachate should be treated at source before disposing into the water body and landfill should be lined properly to prevent the entry of leachate into water sources.

“…The United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) has set the maximum daily intake of 0.004, 0.001, 0.0001 and 0.04 mg/kg of Pb, Cd, Hg and Cu, respectively [ 12 ]. In drinking water, US EPA has set the maximum contaminant level for Hg, Cd and Cu at 0.03 µg/L [ 13 ], 5.0 µg/L [ 14 ], and 1.3 mg/L [ 15 ], respectively. The maximum Pb content in drinking water is set at <10 ppb by WHO [ 16 ].…”

Kapok fiber (Ceiba pentandra) belongs to a group of natural fibers that are mainly composed of cellulose, lignin, pectin, and small traces of inorganic compounds. These fibers are lightweight with hollow tubular structure that is easy to process and abundant in nature. Currently, kapok fibers are used in industry as filling material for beddings, upholstery, soft toys, and nonwoven materials. However, kapok fiber has also a potential application in the adsorptive removal of heavy metal ions and dyes from aqueous systems. This study aims to provide a comprehensive review about the recent developments on kapok fiber composites including its chemical properties, wettability, and surface morphology. Effective and innovative kapok fiber composites are analyzed with the help of characterization tools such as scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller analysis. Different pre-treatment methods such as alkali and acid pre-treatment, oxidation pre-treatment, and Fenton reaction are discussed. These techniques are applied to enhance the hydrophilicity and to generate rougher fiber surfaces. Moreover, surface modification and synthesis of kapok fiber-based composites and its environmental applications are examined. There are various methods in the fabrication of kapok fiber composites that include chemical modification and polymerization. These procedures allow the kapok fiber composites to have higher adsorption capacities for selective heavy metal and dye removal.
