## 1 Introduction  
The global glass output has reached 140 million tons per year in recent years [1, 2]. Furthermore, figures reveal that major global economies, such as the United States and China, produce tens of millions of tons of waste glass annually [2], resulting in an increase in landfill usage and a serious threat to human health and the environment. Comparing various solid waste kinds, such as glass, wood, and plastic, reveals that glass is not biodegradable over an extended period of time due to its chemical stability, making recycling extremely important. Only 21% of glass produced globally was recycled due to the complexity and potential high costs of the glass recycling process [2]. The production of infrastructure materials as a partial substitute for cement, sand, and/or coarse aggregates is gaining popularity globally as an alternate method of using waste glass and lowering recycling costs [3]. Since recycling glass waste guarantees the availability of inexpensive raw materials in large quantities, it is intriguing to consider the potential for further modification and environmental protection, as demonstrated by the instance of recycled glass material in the form of expanded glass spheres (EGS). Rapid industrialization, which includes the rising agricultural output and waste discharges, has resulted in increased air, water, and soil pollution, endangering human health as well as the health of all living things [4; 5; 6]. To preserve ecosystems, it is crucial to remove pesticides and heavy metals from drinking water [7; 8]. Given their poisonous and carcinogenic properties, the majority of heavy metals can damage mental and neurological functioning and create serious chronic health issues at low concentrations [7; 9; 10]. Due to their relative chemical stability [11], pesticides may enter living bodies and bioaccumulate there when used inappropriately for pest prevention, mitigation, and destruction. They may also be harmful due to the possibility of high pollutant loads in shallow water with a low dilution capacity [12] or contamination from rainfall, farm-land infiltration, and paddy field drainage.

Arsenic is commonly found in water due to a variety of natural and man-made activities, including mining, mineral dissolution, pesticides used in agriculture, and others [13]. Prolonged exposure to drinking and irrigation water contaminated with arsenic can cause major health concerns, including skin and lung cancer, angioedema, and cardiovascular disease [14]. As a result, groundwater contamination by arsenic has garnered international attention. Arsenite (As(III)) as well as arsenate (As(V)) are the two primary forms of arsenic that are present in natural water. However, compared to arsenite, arsenate is simpler to remove from water. The World Health Organization (WHO) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) have established a maximum permissible level of arsenic in drinking water of roughly 10 \(\mu\)g/L [15]. Adsorption is one of the simplest, most economical and effective ways to remove arsenic from water, which is why many natural or composite adsorbents have been created in recent years [16]. One common fungicide used in agricultural production is Iprodione. Fungal infections like Sclerotinia, Botrytis, Rhizotonia, and Alternaria are well controlled by this dicarboximide contact fungicide, which has both curative and protective qualities. Iprodione has been found in surface and groundwater in recent investigations, mostly as a result of runoff from treated fields and leaching into groundwater sources.
