Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Sciences https://jtes.sciforce.org/JTES <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Welcome to the Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Sciences (JTES), a distinguished platform dedicated to the exploration of toxicology, environmental sciences, and their critical impact on human health and the environment. Published by Sciforce Publications, JTES stands as a beacon of excellence in the fields of toxicology, environmental research, and sustainable practices.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Sciences (JTES) of Sciforce Publications is a journal which deals with the study of Environmental toxicology and it is a multidisciplinary field of science concerned with the study of the harmful effects of various chemical, biological and physical agents on living organisms. Ecotoxicology is a subdiscipline of environmental toxicology concerned with studying the harmful effects of toxicants at the population and ecosystem levels. Rachel Carson is considered the mother of environmental toxicology, as she made it a distinct field within toxicology in 1962 with the publication of her book Silent Spring, which covered the effects of uncontrolled pesticide use. Carson's book was based extensively on a series of reports by Lucille Farrier Stickel on the ecological effects of the pesticide DDT. Organisms can be exposed to various kinds of toxicants at any life cycle stage, some of which are more sensitive than others. Toxicity can also vary with the organism's placement within its food web. Bioaccumulation occurs when an organism stores toxicants in fatty tissues, which may eventually establish a trophic cascade and the biomagnification of specific toxicants. Biodegradation releases carbon dioxide and water as by-products into the environment. This process is typically limited in areas affected by environmental toxicants. Harmful effects of such chemical and biological agents as toxicants from pollutants, insecticides, pesticides, and fertilizers can affect an organism and its community by reducing its species diversity and abundance. Such changes in population dynamics affect the ecosystem by reducing its productivity and stability.</span> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Journal of toxicology of Environmental Sciences is intended to provide a platform for discussing and presenting applied and fundamental research which are relevant to the issues of local or global environments, human &amp; animal health, plus occupational safety. The journal also seeks to publish any significant and novel research which is on the behavior of human impact, emerging contaminants on the environment, human manifestation to environmental contaminants and their health effects, and environmental remediation and management. The Journal also provides an open forum for professionals in academia, government, and industry who are involved in the use, management, and protection of the chemicals in the environment for the improvement of human health and occupational safety.</span> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Journal of Toxicology of Environmental Sciences is an Open access system. To be precise, manuscripts which have an interdisciplinary approaches to solve any current local or global environmental issues that relates with above topics are always welcomed; this might include topic as cutting-edge applications in basic principles of chemistry, physics and biology, which could also contribute significantly with new understandings in the measurements, predictions, and assessments of the consequential effects which comes from toxic hazardous &amp; harmful chemicals in the environment. Here you can submit the manuscripts which would be checked under a strict Peer-Review process before any publication. This is generally done to ensure that any literature published in the journal is scientifically correct.</span></p> en-US editor@sciforce.net (Dr. Suryakiran Navath, Ph.

From the fact that all forms of life and all human activities are more or less connected to water, the importance of the relationship to water and the meaning of the documents regulating this relationship clearly emerge. Economic development and urbanization lead, on the one hand, to a large increase in the need for water, and on the other, to endangering water resources and the water environment. Water can thus become a limiting factor in development and a threat to human health and the sustainability of natural ecosystems.</p> Siniša Franjić Copyright (c) 2024 Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Sciences https://jtes.sciforce.org/JTES/article/view/236 Thu, 26 Sep 2024 00:00:00 +0000 The Role of Green Energy Systems and Sustainable Development https://jtes.sciforce.org/JTES/article/view/237 <p><em>People are relying upon oil for primary energy and this will continue for a few more decades. Other conventional sources may be more enduring, but are not without serious disadvantages. The renewable energy resources are particularly suited for the provision of rural power supplies and a major advantage is that equipment such as flat plate solar driers, wind machines, etc., can be constructed using local resources. Without the advantage results from the feasibility of local maintenance and the general encouragement such local manufacture gives to the buildup of small-scale rural based industry. This communication comprises a comprehensive review of energy sources, the environment and sustainable development. It includes the renewable energy technologies, energy efficiency systems, energy conservation scenarios, energy savings in greenhouses environment and other mitigation measures necessary to reduce climate change. This study gives some examples of small-scale energy converters, nevertheless it should be noted that small conventional, i.e., engines are currently the major source of power in rural areas and will continue to be so for a long time to come. There is a need for some further development to suit local conditions, to minimise spares holdings, to maximise the interchangeability of the engine parts, and of the engine applications. Emphasis should be placed on full local manufacture. It is concluded that renewable environmentally friendly energy must be encouraged, promoted, implemented and demonstrated by a full-scale plant (device) especially for use in remote rural areas. </em></p> <p><strong><em>Keywords:</em></strong><em> Renewable energy technologies, energy efficiency, sustainable development, emissions, environment</em></p> Abdeen Mustafa Omer Copyright (c) 2024 Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Sciences https://jtes.sciforce.org/JTES/article/view/237 Fri, 11 Oct 2024 00:00:00 +0000 Energy Efficient for Heat Exchanger Refrigeration and Air Conditioning https://jtes.sciforce.org/JTES/article/view/234 <p>Scientifically, it is difficult to predict the relationship between global temperature and greenhouse gas (GHG) concentrations. The climate system contains many processes that will change if warming occurs. Critical processes include heat transfer by winds and tides, the hydrological cycle involving evaporation, precipitation, runoff and groundwater and the formation of clouds, snow, and ice, all of which display enormous natural variability. The equipment and infrastructure for energy supply and use are designed with long lifetimes, and the premature turnover of capital stock involves significant costs. Economic benefits occur if capital stock is replaced with more efficient equipment in step with its normal replacement cycle. Likewise, if opportunities to reduce future emissions are taken in a timely manner, they should be less costly.</p> A. M.
