A total of 87 respondents were selected based on … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 10 · 6 Sep 2013 · 8,525 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssessment of Heavy Metals Uptake and Translocation by Aquilaria malaccensis Planted in Soils Containing Sewage SludgeKeeren Sundara Rajoo, Arifin Abdu, Hazandy Abdul-Hamid et al.Increase in human population has resulted in an enormous growth in the volume of wastewater. The conventional methods of sewage sludge disposal, that is the by-product of wastewater treatment, are costly and not environment-friendly. An ideal way for sewage sludge management is by using it as a soil amendment in agricultural land due to sewage sludge’s high organic matter content. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 9 · 24 Aug 2013 · 7,079 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHeavy Metal Uptake and Translocation by Dipterocarpus verrucosus from Sewage Sludge Contaminated SoilKeeren Sundara Rajoo, Arifin Abdu, Daljit Karam Singh et al.Sewage sludge or biosolids is the solid waste that has been left after wastewater is treated in a domestic wastewater treatment facility. The most common way of sludge disposal is to dispose it on the land, sea or air (incineration). However, these methods are not environment-friendly, costly and time consuming that requires expertise and knowledge. An ideal way to manage … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 10 Jul 2013 · 7,819 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHealth Risk Assessment of Nitrate Exposure in Well Water of Residents in Intensive Agriculture AreaNoraziah Jamaludin, Shaharuddin Mohd Sham, Sharifah Norkhadijah Syed IsmailNitrate in well water has become a public health concern especially in agriculture areas. Nitrate contamination in drinking water poses health risks to humans. This cross-sectional study was conducted with an aim to determine the health risk of residents in intensive agriculture area of Bachok Kelantan from nitrate exposure in drinking well water. Nitrate in well water was determined with … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 5 · 21 May 2013 · 8,958 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparison of Heavy Metals Contents for Some Cigarettes BrandsLucien Agbandji, Edorh A. Patrick, Georges B. Gbago et al.According certain studies, smoking could be associated with an increase of health risk link to heavy metals and these risks would be more important in developed countries. So, this study attempted to verify these informations throuth the comparison of the levels of lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd) nickel (Ni) and arsenic (As) in some cigarettes sold in Benin and France. Composite … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 21 Feb 2013 · 8,505 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTrace Elements Distribution in the Brain of Stressed RatsZerrouk Kamal, Mohamed Najimi, Mohammed Chigr et al.Because of their ability to modulate the Gamma Aminobutyric Acid (GABA) a receptor complex, the principal aim of the current work is to assess two essential heavy metals: Iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn) by atomic absorption in different brain areas of stressed rats. To do so, we investigated the effect of acute immobilization stress (single 1-hour session) on the distribution … …Neuroscience International, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 14 Sep 2012 · 7,277 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptical Investigation and Electronic Polarizability of Nd3+ Doped Soda-Lime-Silicate GlassesP. Chimalawong, J. Kaewkhao, P. LimsuwanProblem statement: This study researched on different physical and optical properties of Nd3+ doped soda-lime-silicate glass. The glasses containing Nd3+ in (65-x)SiO2: 25Na2O: 10CaO: xNd2O3 (where x = 0.0-5.0 mol%) had been prepared by melt-quenching method. The density and molar volume increase with increasing of Nd2O3 concentration due to increasing of Non Bridging Oxygen (NBOs) in glass matrix. The optical … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 31 Oct 2010 · 8,149 accessesView PDFCite
