“…The green revolution increases the agricultural land which in turn enhances the agricultural production by triple and increases the yields to meet the demands of a rapidly growing global population [1]. Globally, the agricultural wastes negatively influence the water resources, air, and the soil, which thus risking the sustainability of ecological environment and the human health [2,3]. Uranium mining as well as nuclear activities produces liquid effluents contaminated with radioactive elements [4,5].…”
