Environment and health news The column on the environment edited by the group of Pediatricians for a Possible World of the Pediatric Cultural Association opens in this issue with the summary of an important WHO document on risks related to electronic waste landfills. As in the previous issues, the main articles published in the monitored journals are then summarized. All articles and editorials deemed worthy of attention are listed divided by topic, with a concise comment. Among the many we point out an important study on the health effects of climate changes. This number is based on the systematic review of the May-June 2021 publications.

— Utilization of solar photovoltaic is increasing dayby day to reduce dependence on the power grid. Decompositionof 1st and 3rd generation silicon solar cells not only depends uponthe plastic and other materials but also the hazardous elementmainly used as their character on the bases of which they arecategorized as 1st , 2nd and 3rd contemporaries solar cells. Theseingredient are mostly carcinogenic and some of them having lifespan of more than 100 years. After abjection of solar cells, theyremain in the soil for many years and cause serious problem toland environment and also responsible for causing carcinogenicdisease in human and other living beings. This paper exploresdecomposition rates of the chemical element mainly used in 1stand 3rd generation solar cells throughout the past years, possibleenvironmental and health effects by the hazardous elements usedin them typically silicon (atomic number 14) and focusing onpossible suggested solutions or alternatives.

There has been much debate about the use of depleted uranium in the Gulf War and its health effects on United States and European war veterans. However, studies on the impact of this radioactive substance on the residents of the surrounding Gulf region are far from adequate. Depleted uranium introduces large quantities of radioactive material that is hazardous to biological organisms, continues to decay for millennia and is able to travel tens of kilometres in air. If depleted uranium were used in the Gulf War, its impact on the health of people in the area would have been considerable. This review of depleted uranium-its origin, properties, uses and effects on the human environment and health-aims to trigger further research on this subject.

Removal Of Heavy Metals

Heavy metals are among the most harmful contaminants in the ecosystems due to their persistency, bioaccumulation and high toxicity. In this chapter, we presented the sources, distribution and pathways of heavy metals in soil, water and air. The physico-chemical properties, uses, toxicity and health hazards of the purely toxic heavy metals lead, cadmium and mercury were also described. Other essential heavy metals were briefly presented and the main health effects due to their deficiency or excess were displayed in this chapter. Finally, the various methods used for the removal of heavy metals from soil and aquatic environments were discussed with a focus on nanomaterials.
