📅 January 14, 2022 👤 Idrees Khan, Khalid Saeed, Ivar Zekker et al. 📖 Water 📊 1,542 citations

🤖 Plain-English Summary

The unavailability of clean drinking water is one of the significant health issues in modern times. An overview of the future perspectives to utilize MB at an industrial scale is also provided.

🔑 Key Findings

  • Industrial dyes are one of the dominant chemicals that make water unfit for drinking.
  • Among these dyes, methylene blue (MB) is toxic, carcinogenic, and non-biodegradable and can cause a severe threat to human health and environmental safety.
  • It is usually released in natural water sources, which becomes a health threat to human beings and living organisms.

💡 Why This Matters

Understanding this could lead to better treatments, improved diagnostics, or a deeper grasp of how the human body works — benefiting patient care globally.
