Covid-19 is such a pandemic which hit the world in the 21st century, since than it has shook the developed, developing and under developed countries with it complications. Ranging from healthcare, economy to education, infrastructure, industry and life of people as a whole. The Sustainable development Goals (SDGs) which were introduced as a successor of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) were targeted to be achieved by the year 2030. Certain targets were set which seems to be affected by advent of Covid-19. This article has aimed in understanding how Covid-19 has affected the seventeen Sustainable Development Goals as a whole and in reference to India in particular. The article also contains a brief idea of the type of pandemics that has affected the world till Covid-19 in 2019. The article further analysis how SDGs in being re-initiated after the pandemic is taking a back shift. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Considering the risk of toxic organic compounds to both human health and the environment, highly luminescent Eu 3+ -incorporated amino-functionalized zirconium metal-organic frameworks, namely, Eu/MOF and Eu@MOF were synthesized via the solvothermal method. The synthesized luminescent europium-incorporated MOFs act as outstanding sensor materials for diphenylamine and dinitrobenzene detection in water and fruit samples. The synergistic effect of Eu 3+ metal ions and amino-functionalized MOFs enhances the luminescent properties of the MOFs improving the fluorescence sensing ability toward the analytes. The enhancement in the detection capacity of the Eu 3+ -incorporated sensors than the sole MOF toward toxic organic compounds was confirmed using the Stern-Volmer equation of limit of detection (LOD) measurements along with fluorescence lifetime measurements. The sensors exhibited turn-on fluorometric detection toward their respective analytes due to the inner filter effect. The plausible fluorescence sensing mechanism has been studied. The DFT calculations have been integrated to study the structure, stability, and charge transfer processes., Competing Interests: The authors declare no competing financial interest., (© 2023 The Authors.
