Cement dust deposition on soil has been implicated in the heavy metal (HM) contamination of soil, leading to adverse effects on plants and humans. This study assessed the impact of cement dust deposition on the HM content of the soil samples in the vicinity of a cement factory and its implication on the public health of the host community. Topsoil samples were collected at varying distances and...

Aim: This study evaluates human health risk assessment of trace metals particularly [Chromium(Cr), Copper(Cu), Manganese(Mn), Lead(Pb), and Zinc(Zn)] in water, sediments edible fish species collected from Idu-Uruan Beach, Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria.
 Study Design: Sediments, water were Esuk River Idu Uruan.
 Methodology: The samples 1 liter sterile polyethylene plastic container triplet...

Anthropogenic and agricultural activities are deteriorating drinking water quality of the Siling reservoir. Spatio-temporal variations and risk assessment of select heavy metals (Zn, Cu, Mn, Fe, Cr, Cd, and Pb) were investigated in water samples. During summer Mn (37.32 μg/L), Fe (41.0 μg/L), and Cd (1.18 μg/L) concentrations were higher in the water samples, while the concentrations of Zn (86....

the reaction of an equivalent of 2- mercaptoethyl ammonium chloride with an equivalent of 2,6-diformyl -4- methyl phenol produced monoamine which was reacted with half equivalent of 1,2-diamine ethane to produce ethylene-bis-6-(2-mercapto-ethyl-imine)-methyl -4- methyl phenol [h4l]. the ligand was reacted with metal ions[cr(iii), mn(ii), fe(ii), co(ii), ni(ii), cu(ii), zn(ii), cd(ii), and hg(ii...

Heavy metal pollution may pose a significant threat to aquatic ecosystems. To assess heavy pollution, sediment samples were collected from Changwang and Wuyuan Rivers between June December 2019. An inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer was used analyze the concentrations of As, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Mn, Ni, Pb, Zn. The results revealed that River had significantly high Cr (240.70 mg kg−1), Co ...
