Moringa oleifera is a multipurpose plant used in Ghana and most parts of Africa. Its high mineral, protein, and vitamins content has enabled its use as a nutraceutical and panacea for various diseases. This study aimed at measuring the micro- and macroelements content of dried Moringa oleifera leaves using energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectroscopic (EDXRF) and assessing its toxicologica...

Precision agriculture depends on the knowledge and management of soil quality (SQ), which calls for affordable, simple and rapid but accurate analysis of bioavailable soil nutrients. Conventional SQ analysis methods are tedious and expensive. We demonstrate the utility of a new chemometrics-assisted energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence and scattering (EDXRFS) spectroscopy method we have develop...

In the hilly semi-arid region of central Argentina, where agricultural frontier expands at expense natural ecosystems, soil erosion is one most alarming environmental problems. Thus, obtaining knowledge about dynamics erosive processes and identifying hotspots constitutes a primary scientific objective. This investigation focused on estimating apportionments main sources sediments, mouth small ...

The rich husk is an agricultural waste of rice cultivation worldwide, which highly in amorphous silica. Rice obtained from Dagiri was pyrolysed at 750 ? to give white ash (RHA) further treated with acid (ARHA). reacted sodium hydroxide 90 for 2 hours 30 min produce Sodium silicate crystals. silicates synthesized the study were characterized some physicochemical parameters. Their structural and ...

Air quality in greater Algiers, in Algeria was assessed analyzing aerosol particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5) at a site influenced by heavy road traffic. Particulate matters were collected using a Gent sampler to characterize the atmospheric aerosol of Algiers. An Energy dispersive X ray spectrometer (EDXRF) was used to determine the heavy metal concentrations in the PM2.5 and PM10 size fractio...

This study has evaluated the potential ecological risk and human health for contamination of nine elements (Cu, Cr, Mn, Zn, As, Pb, Co, Fe, Sr) in water sediment samples two seasons, i.e., before after rainy season, by calculating several pollution indices such as load index (PLI), (PER), target hazard quotient (THQ). Samples were analyzed elemental concentration using energy dispersive X-ray f...
