Conventional solid waste management protocols and thinking generally tend to assume that waste already exits and therefore needs to be managed. Consequently, most models of solid waste management, especially in the developing countries including Ghana, are simply reactions to the presence of something that needs to be disposed of or discarded. This paper sees this conventional solid waste manag...

Effect of feeding dumpsite forage (Calopo -Calopogonium mucunoides) on the heamatology of rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) was investigated. 24 rabbits; 20 females and 4 males were obtained and distributed randomly into two treatment groups of 10 females and 2 males with each of the groups being fed dumpsite forage and non-dumpsite forage respectively. The forage, specifically Calapo (Calopogoni...

The disposal of unexploded ordnance (UXOs) at sea is a global problem. mapping and remediation historic UXOs can be assisted by autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) carrying sensor payloads such as synthetic aperture sonar (SAS) optical cameras. AUVs image large areas the seafloor in high resolution, motivating an automated approach to UXO detection. Modern methods commonly use supervised mach...

Maize is a vital nutritional cereal for the infants, young children and adults. The environment which they are cultivated in Africa could expose to metal accumulations from soils, thereby posing health risks consumers. objectives of this study were determine maize grains (Zea mays L.) close Gosa Gwagwalada solid waste dumpsites their via consumption. A total 36 soil samples (12 each dumpsite so...

Quarrying and processing of granite produce large amounts waste residues. Besides being a loss resources, improper disposal these wastes results in pollution the soil, water air around dumpsites. The main components are quartz, feldspars small amount biotite. Due to its hard dense texture, high strength, corrosion resistance wear resistance, may be recycled into building materials, composite ma...

Without a doubt, plants take up toxic substances such as heavy metals which are transferred along the food chain. These constrain should not be overlooked due to importance of vegetables in human diet, hence this study was aimed determine metal concentrations green leafy from Oluku dumpsite and nearby farm during dry season (2020) rainy (2021). In study, samples (green leaves, water bitter leav...
