Abstract
detection was validated using real water samples from ponds and lakes, highlighting its potential for environmental monitoring applications. Furthermore, the biological effects of BHCD were evaluated through cytotoxic assays, demonstrating significant inhibitory effects on MCF7 breast cancer cell lines, with a maximum cell viability of 60%. This research underscores the multifaceted potential of BHCD in environmental monitoring and biomedical applications.
