Investigation of Pavonia urens as Potential Biosorbent in Phytoremediation of Metal Pollutants through Complexation
(African Environmental Review Journal, 2022-06)
Environmental pollution involving metal ions represents a potential threat to life. This is due to different chemical wastes discharged to the environment with no or minimal treatment to reduce and decrease the harmful ...
Field Accumulation in Selected Heavy Metal Ions and Associated Health Risks in Irrigation Water, Soil and Tomatoes Collected from Homa Hills, Homabay County, Kenya
(Africa Environmental Review, 2022)
Accumulation of metal ions in irrigation water and soils can lead to uptake by food crops. The
accumulated heavy metals when ingested pose a threat to human health. The current study
intends to assess potential health ...
Physical-Chemical Water Quality Asessment of Rivers within the Athi River Basin Area, Kenya
(Africa Environmental Review, 2022)
One of the main issues affecting Kenya's management of its water resources is pollution. In this study, selected physical-chemical characteristics were used to evaluate the river water quality in the Athi Basin area. ...
Anti-Bacterial Activities of Green Synthesized ZnO and CuO Nanoparticles from Leaf Extracts of Warburgia ugandensis
(American Journal of Nano Research and Applications, 2023-07)
This work reports for the first time the green synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) and copper oxide
nanoparticles (CuO NPs) using leaf extracts of Warburgia ugandensis as encapsulating, stabilizing, and reducing ...
Optimisation of plutonium separations using TEVA cartridges and ICP-MS/MS analysis for applicability to large-scale studies in tropical soils
(The Royal Society of Chemistry, 2023-08)
The analysis of plutonium (Pu) in soil samples can inform the understanding of soil erosion processes
globally. However, there are specific challenges associated for analysis in tropical soils and so an optimal
analytical ...
