investigation of aluminium uptake by human erythrocytes was the major aim of this study. packed red blood cells were incubated in earle's medium (ph 7.4) containing varying concentrations of aluminium (0-160 /lg/j) as aik(so.), and aluminium content of the cells were determined using flameless atomic absorption. there was significant increase in aluminium content of the cells. addition of ...

Application of selective non-catalytic reduction systems at municipal solid waste incinerators (MSWIs) often involves over-stoichiometric injection of ammonia into flue gases. Un-reacted ammonia may be deposited on fly ash particles and can ultimately influence the leaching behaviour of air-pollution-control (APC) residues. Batch tests were conducted to investigate the impacts of ammonia levels...

BACKGROUND Underground water is an important natural resource serving as a reliable source of drinking water for many people worldwide, especially in developing countries. Underground water quality needs to be given a primary research and quality control attention due to possible contamination. This study was therefore designed to determine the physico-chemical and bacteriological quality of bo...

This investigation was carried out to observe the toxic effect of aluminium chloride on selected tissues and blood albino rat (Rattus novergicus). Aluminium toxicity is a rare condition which occurs when metal accumulates in body either by direct inhalation or from drinking water contaminated this metal. Analysis kidney, liver stomach rats administered increasing doses toxicant showed varying d...
