Approach: This study aimed at using the application of Water Quality Index (WQI) in evaluating the quality of River Landzu for public … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2010 · 11,619 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractConcentration of Zn, Cu and Pb in Some Selected Marine Fishes of the Pahang Coastal Waters, MalaysiaB. Y. Kamaruzzaman, M. C. Ong, S. Z. RinaProblem statement: Heavy metals constitute one of the most hazardous substances that could be accumulated in biota. Fish populations exploited by man often live in coastal area environments that contain high levels of heavy metals, coming from human activities such as industrial and agricultural wastes. A problem to deal when using fishes as biomonitors of heavy metals is the relationship … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2010 · 10,011 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPlants Responses to Nutrients Follow the Saturation Kinetic Typical of Enzyme Systems: Biological, Economical and Environmental ImplicationsR.P. LanaAgricultural efficiency has been associated with high plant productivity. However, it is dependent on fertilizers, which are nonrenewable resources. Crop production response to fertilizers is hyperbolic, following the Michaelis-Menten model and the law of diminishing return. Data of crop production (barley, bean, corn, cotton, soybean and wheat) as a function of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium fertilization were analyzed by Lineweaver-Burk … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 6,898 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordBaseline Concentrations of 11 Elements as a Function of Land uses in Surface Soils of the Katangese Copperbelt Area (D.R. Congo)Martin T. Mpinda, Tresor N. Kisimba, Theodore M. Mwamba et al.The Katangese Copperbelt Area (KCA) located south-eastern of D.R. Congo presents high concentration of Metal Trace Elements (MTE) due to a rich natural geochemical background and intense mining activities. However, the lack of data on specific baseline concentrations makes it difficult to assess and monitor the environmental quality of soils in the region. In this study, 11 MTE were measured … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 6 · 3 Jan 2022 · 7,128 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordBIOGAS PRODUCTION FROM TOFU LIQUID WASTE ON TREATED AGRICULTURAL WASTESBudy Rahmat, Tedi Hartoyo, Yaya SunaryaThe Tofu Liquid Waste (TLW) as a pollution might be processed into biogas which was environmentally friendly and had potential to replace burning wood or oil. However, the waste could not directly be employed as the biogas substrate due to the high nitrogen content which was not suitable to the methanogen microorganism on the biogas digester and did not produce … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 1 Feb 2014 · 7,958 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordUtilization of Sewage Sludge in Agricultural Soil as Fertilizer in the Republic of Benin (West Africa): What are the Risks of Heavy Metals Contamination and Spreading?Fidèle Suanon, Lyde A.S. Tomètin, Biaou Dimon et al.Biosolids are the treated organic residuals, also known as sewage sludge, which are generated from domestic wastewater treatment plants. It is an organic matter and nutrients [phosphorous (P) and nitrogen (N)]-rich material. Due to these properties, it is has been reported to be a suitable fertilizer or soil amendment which can valuably replace synthesized NPK.
