Vehicular emission is a major environmental health problem in the world today especially developing countries including Nigeria. This study was centered on assessing vehicular emissions pollutants such as Carbon monoxide (CO), Hydrogen Sulphide (H2S), Formaldehyde (HCHO) and Total Volatile Organic Compound (TVOC) Benin City, Edo State, The sampling of CO H2S gaseous done using H-4S gas analyzer...

The increase in food production has been a major concern to developing countries. Due the high demand for certain crops especially vegetables, farmers resort use of wastewater cultivate these during dry season. This research work aimed investigate effects industrial coconut oil effluent (ICE) on germination, growth and yield Talinum fruticosum (water leaf). physicochemical composition was deter...

Leachates from selected open dumpsites in Port Harcourt region were analysed for radiometrics and heavy metal parameters. For radiometrics, gamma ray spectroscope was used while Heavy parameters spectrophotometer. These compared among the of different study areas established international standard FEPA WHO/INIS used. Dumpsites leachates show mean potassium 40K(71.715± 0.3 Bq kgl-), Uranium 238U...

Bioaccumulation of any heavy metal above its maximum limits invariably results tothe detrimental health an organism. This present study was carried out to evaluatethe levels eight metals (Fe, Pb, Mn, Ni, Cu, Zn, Cr and Cd) in surface water,sediment bioaccumulation index (Chrysicthys walkeri) from Warri River, DeltaState, Nigeria. Samples were collected between the period July September,2015 two...

The bfeA (Bordetella ferric enterobactin) receptor gene was cloned from a Bordetella pertussis chromosomal library by using a screen in Escherichia coli to detect iron-repressed genes encoding exported proteins translationally fused to the E. coli phoA gene. The bfeA gene encoded a protein with a molecular mass of approximately 80 kDa and about 50% amino acid sequence identity to both the fepA-...

Noise as an undesirable sound within non-occupational settings is one of the several identified environmental problems across world. It increasing common feature urban areas attributable to road, rail, and air traffic sources well construction industrial activities, commercial enterprise, such familiar domestic pets radios/stereos from residential neighborhood. a major pollution which constitut...

The diversity of fish gut microflora, heavy metals and hydrocarbon concentration two species (Pseudotolithus typus Chrysichthys nigrodigitatus) from Qua Iboe River Estuary was investigated. total heterotrophic bacteria fungi as well utilizing in the guts were abundant ranged 6.87 to 7.57logcfu/g, 5.68 5.80logcfu/g, 5.42 5.48 logcfu/g 2.76 3.40logcfu/g respectively. microbial counts varied among...
