Indo-Gangetic Plain experiences higher aerosol pollution than North China Plain despite lower emissions
We investigate the spatiotemporal dynamics of aerosol pollution in the Indo-Gangetic Plain (IGP) and the North China Plain (NCP), two of the world’s most populated regions, against their anthropogenic emissions. Utilizing CAMS EAC4 reana...

Endocrine and systemic toxicity of pyriproxyfen in adult female zebrafish: disruption of the HPT axis and peripheral organ impairments
Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) can destabilize the hypothalamic–pituitary–thyroid (HPT) axis, a fundamental regulator of vertebrate development and metabolism. Pyriproxyfen (PPF), a juvenile hormone analog widely utilized in vecto...
