“…Extensive use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides results in the degradation of soil and water bodies. Agricultural chemical inputs gain access into human body systems through three major means: (1) oral ingestion, (ii) infiltration through the skin, and (iii) breathing (Roy Chowdhury et al 2014;Rodríguez-Eugenio et al 2018;Rajput et al 2021; Bottone 2010; Ahmmed and Hossain 2016; http:// www. tezu.…”

Soil microbial diversity consisted of both culturable and non-culturable microbes. The cultivated microbes can be identified by conventional microbiological processes. However, that is not possible for the non-culturable ones. In those cases, nextgeneration sequencing (NGS)-based metagenomics become useful. In this study, we targeted two very popular tea gardens of Darjeeling hills-Makaibari (Mak) and Castleton (Cas). The main difference between these two study areas is the type of manure they use. Mak is solely an organic tea garden using all organic manure and fertilizers whereas Cas uses inorganic pesticides and fertilizers. The main aim was to compare the effect of organic manure over chemical fertilizers on the soil microbiomes. We have performed the 16 s metagenomics analysis based on the V3-V4 region. Downstream bioinformatics analysis including reverse ecology was performed. We found that the overall microbial diversity is higher in Mak compared to Cas. Moreover, the use of organic manure has reduced the population of pathogenic bacteria in Mak soil when compared to Cas soil. From the observations made through the metagenomics analysis of Mak and Cas soil samples, we may conclude that the application of organic manure supports the population of good bacteria in the soil which may eventually impact the tea garden workers' health.

Environmental nanotechnology has developed rapidly over the past few decades due to the fast advancement of nanotechnology and nanomaterials (NMs). Due to their nanoscale size, NMs are receiving immense attention in research and development worldwide. Their nano size has led to better catalysis, high reactivity, and high adsorption capacity. In wastewater treatment, nanotechnology has significant potential to improve the performance and efficiency of water decontamination; more effectively, it provides a sustainable way to keep water supplies safe. Numerous studies have found that removing harmful components from wastewater by employing nanoparticles in conjunction with various treatment methods is effective. The purpose of the current investigation is to conduct a review of the envisioned applications of various NMs in the treatment of wastewater. These NMs include carbonaceous NMs, metal-containing nanoparticles, and nanocomposites, all of which will be reviewed and highlighted in depth.
