It has been demonstrated that most of the various derivatives of benzimidazole have distinct biological activity that gives clear promises to treat many different diseases, and for this wonderful reason, all the different new formulations based on benzimidazole remain of high concentration of interest to most scientists interested in the pharmacological fields. In this review article, we focused on mentioning many different derivatives of benzimidazole and studying its biological activities for humans and animals alike. In addition, in this reference article we have also focused on the more active benzimidazole derivatives that have shown significant pharmacological effect among patients.

This study evaluated the occurrence and human exposure risk of mono-aromatic hydrocarbons (MAHs) such as benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and o,p-xylene (BTEX) in soils from petroleum product jetty from the Niger Delta, Nigeria. Samples were collected from the top (0-15 cm), sub (15-30 cm), and bottom (30-45 cm) soil depths. The MAHs components were determined using Headspace gas chromatography-mass spectrometer (HS-GCMS). The individual and ƩMAHs concentrations ranged from not detected (ND) to 1528 μg kg and ND to 2512 μg kg respectively. The total cancer risks were within the low category. The source identification indicated that the origin MAHs species are attributed to solvent, paints, and gasoline-diesel spill and particulate emission from gasoline/diesel combustion exhaust in the vicinity of the petroleum product jetty. This depicts the presence of low molecular weight petroleum fractions such as gasoline and kerosene that could exhibit toxicological and carcinogenic effects to organisms in soils within the jetty. Clean-up actions should be carried out to prevent the accumulation of MAHs in soil-plant uptake and the potential ecological and human exposure risks of MAHs in the surrounding soil and aquatic ecosystem.

Abstract In this paper, we fabricate a reactive self-assembled nanostructure of strontium chromium oxygen system (Sr-Cr-O). The ternary oxide SrCrO4 has been prepared as a QDs decorated superlattice. Course of formation as well as the obtained composition was analyzed by a combination of Thermogravimetry (TGA), X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectra (DRS), scanning electron microscopy in association with EDX and high resolution transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The obtained nanostructure was determined to be composed of SrCrO4 as the major phase and SrCrO3/ SrO1.95 as the minor phases. Excitonic absorption signatures in optical spectroscopy confirmed that quantum confinement is preserved. The methodology involves a modified co-precipitation method. Moreover, excellent UV-visible-light photocatalytic performance was improved toward Methylene blue dye.

Pesticide application is an important issue in intensive agricultural production to achieve self-sufficiency in food production. This study aimed to the determination of pesticide residues from soil samples cultivated with different crops. Forty soil samples from four governorates, ten samples each (Kafr El-Sheikh, El-Beheira, Giza, and Menoufia) were collected for pesticides multi-residual analysis. Also, fifteen vegetable samples were collected from Giza governorate and analyzed for the presence of pesticide residues. Obtained data revealed that soil samples of Giza governorate recorded the highest level of pesticide residues contamination with 70% positive samples followed by Kafr El-Sheikh and Menoufia governorates with 60% positive samples and finally El-Beheira governorate recorded the lowest level of pesticide residues contamination with 30% positive samples. Regarding the levels of pesticide residues in vegetables and crops, about 53.3 % of tested samples (onion, sweet potato, molokhia, cabbage, beet, okra, eggplant, and lettuce) were free from pesticide residues. Meanwhile, about 46.7 % of tested samples (wheat, rocca, green dill, tomato, radish, pepper, and green parsley) showed pesticide residues with different types and concentrations. Propiconazole was the highest residue recorded in green dill with 3.8 mg/kg followed by difenoconazole with 3.22 mg/Kg present in green parsley.

New lead-cerium phosphate glasses in the system xCeO2(50-x)PbO-50P2O5 were successfully prepared by the meltquenching process. The amorphous and/or crystalline character of the as prepared compositions were confirmed by both X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and electron diffraction patterns (EDP) related to transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The surface morphology and the analytical amounts of glasses constituents have been studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) equipped with Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) apparatus. It was found that P2O5 as a host network can dissolve extremely high concentration from CeO2 without crystallization of the host glass network. Some cerium phosphate (CeP2O7) clusters can be formed and precipitated in the main amorphous network. Formation of such type of clusters has an effective influence on enhancing material structure and properties, since the hardness number of the studied materials is highly enhanced. The chemical shift P NMR of glasses is improved toward increasing shielding process by the effect of CeO2 addition.
