Radon exhalation is a natural process by which atoms of the radioactive gas radon diffuse in the soil and then exhale to an indoor and/or outdoor environment. High radon concentration levels, possibly from high radon exhalation rate levels, can gener...
Soil-transmitted helminths primarily comprise Ascaris lumbricoides, Trichuris trichiura, and hookworms, infecting more than 600 million people globally, particularly in underserved communities. Manual microscopy of Kato-Katz thick smears is a widely ...

Soil heavy metal contamination poses serious health risks, but few studies have quantitatively assessed disparities in these risks between urban and rural populations. To address this gap, we introduce a novel framework integrating machine learning a...
Metal nanoparticles (MNPs) offer great potential to enable precision and sustainable agriculture. However, a comprehensive understanding of the interactions between multiple MNPs and soil properties, including impacts on overall soil health, remains ...
Agricultural runoff leading to nitrate (NO-N) and orthophosphate (PO-P) contamination poses significant environmental and public health risks. This study integrates the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) with eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost), o...
Salinity stress poses significant challenges to agriculture, reducing productivity and limiting arable land by causing ionic and osmotic imbalances in plants, disrupting physiological processes, and leading to soil degradation over time. Halophytes a...
