The aim of the study was to assess effect climate change, mainly higher and lower precipitation, on intensity impact a coal waste dump groundwater. analysis used meteorological data for Katowice region in 2002-2020 as well height groundwater table vicinity dump, physicochemical parameters chemical composition 2004-2020. Based analyses, it found that periods drought Silesian Voivodeship, located...

Foraging of wild birds on city waste dumps is one the most popular forms human–wildlife interactions in world. The extensive bird-habitat destruction for urban development has restricted wild-bird feeding to waste-dumps communities Cameroon. objective this study was examine importance waste-dump ecology feeding. research area divided into four zones, north, south, east, and west an effective da...

An ex-situ experiment to assess the metal extractive potential of fourteen agriculture plants (Vigna unguiculata, Gossypium hirsutum, Jatropha curcas, etc.) was conducted on Magnesite mines which had above permissible levels of Cadmium and Lead. There was no much difference in the total chlorophyll a and b, carbohydrate and protein contents in the plants grown in the mining soil and adjacent co...

The increasing solid waste generated in the Accra metropolis has not been accompanied with adequate sanitation facilities and management programs. Notable among the waste management problems is inadequate operational funding from the municipality’s budget allocation for the collection and disposal processes. The disposal methods mostly depend on the obsolete dumping with the associated environm...

Human faecal waste has been discarded at inland Antarctic sites for over 100 years, but little is known about the long-term survival of faecal microorganisms in the Antarctic terrestrial environment or the environmental impact. This study identified viable faecal microorganisms in 30–40 year old human faeces sampled from the waste dump at Fossil Bluff Field Station, Alexander Island, Antarctic ...

It was found that there are two kinds of pyrimidine nucleoside, monophosphokinase deoxythymidine 5'-monophosphate-deoxyuridine 5'-monophosphate (dTMP-dUMP) kinase and cytidine 5'-monophosphate-deoxycytidine 5'-monophosphate-uridine 5'-monophosphate-doexyuridine 5'-monophosphate (CMP-dCMP-UMP-dUMP) kinase, and their molecular weights were calculated to be 46,000 and 26,000, respectively, by gel ...

Knowledge of the probable origin and behaviour of arsenic certainly gives valuable insights into the potential for transfer in the environment and of the risks involved in mining sites. Sequential extraction analyses are common experiments often used to study the origin and behaviour of potentially toxic elements. The method, however, presents some deficiencies, including labor-intensive proced...
