Aims: This study was aimed at determining the ecological health of two roadside streams across Tiko-Douala highway, Cameroon, and investigating phytoremediation potentials dominant aquatic macrophytes within these streams.
 Study Design: Water, sediments, plant samples were collected from Camp 7 Moqouo streams, analyzed for ammonium nitrogen, nitrate phosphates, magnesium, cadmium, lead, i...

The cadaverine (Cad), an organic diamine was examined for its response on growth in salinity and metal stressed B. juncea cv RH-30 vis-à-vis compared the response of ammonium nitrate. The Cad (1 mM) application ameliorated the effect caused by salinity and metal stress on seed germination and plant growth. The plant growth recovery (dry biomass accumulation) was dependent on stress and diamine ...

In current work, CdS/black carbon nanocomposites were successfully synthesized with the aid of chestnut and cadmium nitrate as the starting reagents. Besides, the effects of preparation parameters such as reaction time, and precursor concentration on the morphology of products and removal of heavy metals (Hg+2, Pb+2) were studied by scanning electron microscopy images and batch adsorption mode....

Background: Consumers may be contaminated by various food intakes as one of the most important sources of organic and inorganic pollutants associated with agriculture. The aim of this study was to evaluate the lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd) and nitrate contaminations in watermelon and carrot samples and the associated risks to human health. Methods: In this cross sectional study, 108 samples of wat...

Abstract The research on novel high-temperature resistant primary explosives is an inevitable trend to adapt the development of weapons. In this paper, high temperature explosive cadmium azide was prepared from sodium and nitrate tetrahydrate by hydrothermal reaction. Then, storage performance tested cook-off test, influence analyzed in combination with microscopic morphology, crystal structure...
