Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPollution Risk Analysis of Heavy Metals at Illegal Mining Sites at Atiwa East District, GhanaSamuel Wiafe, Sarah Fanny Hackman Duncan, Boakye Ebenezer, Samuel Yeboah BaakoThis study aims at determining the level of pollution of heavy metals (Cr, Cu and Hg) in the soils of illegal mining sites in Atiwa East District of Ghana. The concentrations of Copper (Cu), Chromium (Cr), and Mercury (Hg) in the soils were determined using Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (AAS). The extent of heavy metal pollution and pollution risk assessment was … …Current Research in Geoscience, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 2 Jun 2022 · 10,698 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMicrobial Diversity as a Biological Control Mechanism for Fruit Tree Diseases: A Comparative ApproachZhichao TangThe traditional methods of fruit tree pest control have long relied on chemical pesticides. This not only leads to increased resistance of pests and diseases but also adversely affects the ecological environment and fruit safety. Although biological control has gradually received attention, the current research on how to systematically use microbial diversity to achieve efficient control and prevention is still … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 22, Issue 1 · 8 Apr 2026 · 1,607 accessesView PDFCite
