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...

Histomorphological effect of the feeding of dumpsite forage (Calapo -Calopogonium mucunoides) on the reproductive profile of rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) was investigated. 30 rabbits; 20 females and 10 males were obtained and distributed randomly into two treatment groups of 10 females and 5 males. The forage, specifically Calapo (Calopogonium mucunoides) was fed to the two groups’ ad-libitu...

This paper presents the characterization of the microbial community responsible for the in-situ bioremediation of hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH). Microbial community structure and function was analyzed using 16S rRNA amplicon and shotgun metagenomic sequencing methods for three sets of soil samples. The three samples were collected from a HCH-dumpsite (450 mg HCH/g soil) and comprised of a HCH/soi...

This study characterizes the leachates quality of an active dumpsite in Warri, Delta State and also analyses its contamination or pollution potential. Leachate Pollution Index (LPI) a tool for quantifying pollution potential of leachates generated from dumpsites has been used to quantify the leachates contamination potential of the dumpsite. The LPI values for the different sample locations L1,...

Leachate pollution of Aneakie Obiakor illegal dumpsite, Awka was studied. Leachate and plant samples (cassava and pawpaw) were collected from the waste dumpsite and control site during wet season, and analysed for level of concentration of 10 heavy metals; Cd, Zn, Cu, Ni, Pb, As, Hg, Cr, Fe using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometric (AAS). The result was compared with the control and WHO/FAO st...

Sphingobium sp. strain HDIPO4 was isolated from a hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) dumpsite and degraded HCH isomers rapidly. The draft genome sequence of HDIPO4 (~4.7 Mbp) contains 143 contigs and 4,646 coding sequences with a G+C content of 65%.

Sphingobium lactosutens DS20(T) has been isolated from the hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) dumpsite in Lucknow, India, but does not degrade any of the HCH isomers. Here, we present the ~5.36-Mb draft genome sequence of strain DS20(T), which consists of 110 contigs and 5,288 coding sequences, with a G+C content of 63.1%.

This paper presents the results of an evaluation of Field Capacity of municipal solid waste at the University of Maiduguri dumpsite. The work describes the methodology and the devices designed for the determination of field capacity of municipal solid waste, in which a lysimeter was constructed to simulate the activities within the refuse dumpsite. The method consisted of applying dynamic compa...

This study assessed the concentrations of polybrominated diphenylethers (PBDEs) in stream water obtained from Asunle stream, an adjoining stream of the Obafemi Awolowo University dumpsite. Water samples were collected for a period of eight months from six different locations comprising of a spot upstream in an uphill area relative to the refuse dumpsite and five others downstream along the stre...

The dataset for this article contains geostatistical analysis of the level to which groundwater quality around a municipal waste dumpsite located in Oke-Afa, Oshodi/Isolo area of Lagos state, southwestern has been compromised for drinking. Groundwater samples were collected from eight hand-dug wells and two borehole wells around or near the dumpsite. The pH, turbidity, salinity, conductivity, t...
