Leachate Pollution of Cocoyam and Pawpaw Crops Grown Around Anaekie Obiakor Illegal Dumpsite, Awka, Anambra State, Nigeria
Leachate pollution of Aneakie Obiakor illegal dumpsite, Awka was studied. Leachate and plant samples (cassava and pawpaw) were collected from the waste dumpsite and control site during wet season, and analysed for level of concentration of 10 heavy metals; Cd, Zn, Cu, Ni, Pb, As, Hg, Cr, Fe using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometric (AAS). The result was compared with the control and WHO/FAO st...

متن کاملReaction front formation in contaminant plumes.
The formation of successive fronts in contaminated groundwater plumes by subsoil bacterial action is a commonly accepted feature of their propagation, but it is not obviously clear from a mathematical standpoint quite how such fronts are formed or propagate. In this paper we show that these can be explained by combining classical reaction-diffusion theory involving just two reactants (oxidant a...
متن کاملEffect of Electrical Conductivity (ec) on Growth Performance of Duckweed at Dumpsite Leachate
Two batch experiments were conducted during the months of June-July (summer) and September-October (fall) to determine the effect of Electrical Conductivity (EC) on nutrient and COD removal & uptake efficiency and growth of duckweed (Lemna minor) at leachate with various EC levels (500-3,000 μS cm -1 ) under the natural climatic conditions of Islamabad, Pakistan. Maximum removal rates (mg m -2 ...
