Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThreat of the Health Quality of Garden Produces Linked to Pollution by Toxic Metals on Some Gardening Sites of BeninKoumolou Luc, Edorh A. Patrick, Agbandji Lucien et al.Problem statement: Water and soil are vital resources used in agriculture. Current data establish a link between the pollution of soil, water and public health. For this reason, this study attempted to establish a link between the level of pollution of garden sites in lead (Pb), Cadmium (Cd) and Arsenic (As) and the health quality of vegetables grown there, through … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 23 Apr 2012 · 7,668 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSequential Remediation Processes for Effective Removal of Oil from Contaminated SoilsDeepika Dave, Reema Alharathi, Abdel GhalyProblem statement: Over 2.2 billions of oil and oil products were transported every year and often these activities can result in air, water and soil contamination. Expousure to petroleum products can cause health problems to humn and animals and affect marine animals and wildlife habitats. Approach: The objective of this study was to developed a technology for the remediation of … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 5 · 18 Nov 2011 · 8,185 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetermination of Lead in Human Teeth by Hydride Generation Atomic Absorption SpectrometryHassan T. AbdulsahibProblem statement: The determination of lead in human teeth at concentration levels of μg/ml is proposed using Hydride Generation Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (HG-AAS). To do this, 2% (wv) lanthanum chloride solution was employed as matrix modifying reagent to increase sensitivity and remove matrix interferences. Approach: About 100 μL of sample and 100 μL of 3.0% (m/v) NaBH4 are simultaneously injected … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 5 · 31 Oct 2011 · 7,136 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMicrobial Activities as Affected by Peat Dryness and AmeliorantEdi Husen, Fahmuddin AgusProblem statement: Acceleration of microbial activities and thus of CO2 emission in drained peat soils used for agriculture, is of the main environmental concern. The objectives of this study were to (i) examine microbial activities in peat samples treated with different levels of water contents and ameliorants and (ii) evaluate the relative contribution of microbial groups to peat respiration. Approach: … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 29 Sep 2011 · 7,548 accessesView PDFCite
