Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssessing Community Health Risks: Proactive Vs Reactive SamplingSarah Taylor, Chelsea Papadopoulos, Sarah Vieillet, Peter Di MarcoProblem statement: A considerable number of native birds died in the West Australian coastal town of Esperance and surroundings during late 2006 and early 2007, which raised community concerns about environmental contamination. Forensic investigations of dead birds suggested that lead may have been the causative agent. At the time, lead and nickel, as well as iron ore and other materials, … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 6 · 31 Dec 2009 · 6,845 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTeawaste as An Adsorbent for Heavy Metal Removal from Industrial WastewatersAmir Hossein Mahvi, Dariush Naghipour, Forugh Vaezi, Shahrokh NazmaraWater used in industries creates a wastewater that has a potential hazard for our environment because of introducing various contaminants such as heavy metals into soil and water resources. In this study, removal of cadmium, lead and nickel from industrial wastewaters has been investigated by using teawaste as a natural adsorbent. The research is a bench scale experimental type and … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2005 · 9,167 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDevelopment of a Hybrid Power Module for Mobile Wireless Sensor Networks: Towards a Livestock Tracking and Identification SystemMolaletsa Namoshe, Oduetse Matsebe, Obakeng MaphaneSmart technology and Internet of Things (IoT) applications have gained popularity in the development of agricultural systems with Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) increasingly becoming the building blocks for IoT applications. However, WSNs have a limited power supply. As a result, these systems have a short lifespan, limited memory and low computing power. This paper describes the development of a hybrid … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 23 Oct 2017 · 7,772 accessesView PDFCite

OnjefuThe effects of open wastes dumpsites on the immediate vicinity continue to generate safety concern. This study determined the levels of lead, chromium, cadmium, arsenic, nickel, cobalt, copper and manganese in soil samples collected at two depths: 0-15 and 15-30 cm within and around Katima Mulilo municipal solid wastes dumpsite and a control site. The samples were digested according to … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 2 · 18 Mar 2017 · 7,485 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Resistance Evaluation of Dry Subtropics Brown Soils to Heavy Metal and Oil Contamination by Biological IndicatorsSergey Ilyich Kolesnikov, Natalya Aleksandrovna Petrova, Kamil Shagidullovich Kazeev et al.Contamination of brown calcareous soils with Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb and oil leads to deterioration of their biological properties. There is a reduction in activity of catalase and dehydrogenase, an abundance of Azotobacter genus bacteria, cellulolytic activity and the length of radish roots. As a rule, there is a direct relationship between the content of contaminant in the soil and … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 5 Aug 2016 · 7,888 accessesView PDFCite

Grazing land was dominated by Brachiaria decumbens (BD), which occupied about 87% in the pasture’ syielding ability of 14.8 Mg DM/ha/year, followed by Centrocema pubescens (CP), Calopogonium mucunoides (CM) and Imperata cylindrica (IC) at 6, 4 … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 16, Issue 2 · 18 May 2016 · 7,481 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractContrasting Effects of Metal Contaminations and Soil Liming on Cations Exchange Capacity and Global DNA Methylation in Betula papyrifera Populations from a Mining RegionGabriel Theriault, Kabwe NkongoloThe Greater Sudbury Region in Northern Ontario (Canada) has been one of the most contaminated regions in the world. Soil liming with dolomitic limestone applications has decreased significantly the level of soil acidity resulting in forest regeneration. This reclamation process does not affect the level of soil metal contamination but results in metals availability decrement. The coping mechanisms of birch … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 11 Apr 2016 · 7,539 accessesView PDFCite
