Evaluation of Radionuclide contents suspended particulate matter from two quarry sites in Nigeria, have been carried out using High Volume air sampler and Gamma ray spectrometer NaI (Tl) Detector. The results obtained showed the mean value for 226 Ra, 232Th 40k Ishiagu sampleswere 2.76, 1.57 5.29 Bq/Kg respectively while that Okpella 1.84, 2.21 6.2 Bq/kg respectively. values were higher than th...

The East Siberian Sea (ESS) is the largest, shallowest and most icebound Arctic marginal sea. It receives substantial input of terrigenous material climate-vulnerable old organic carbon from both coastal erosion rivers draining extensive permafrost-covered watersheds. This study focuses on interannual variability spatial distribution suspended particulate matter (SPM) in surface bottom waters E...

BACKGROUND COPD may develop due to variation in the functioning of antioxidants along with smoking and environmental factors in genetically susceptible individuals. Since there are different views about the antioxidants responsible for detoxifying xenobiotic compound in the human body whose functional variation may lead to obstructive disease, this associative study has been taken up between GS...

Avian influenza virus-infected poultry can release a large amount of virus-contaminated droppings that serve as sources of infection for susceptible birds. Much research so far has focused on virus spread within flocks. However, as fecal material or manure is a major constituent of airborne poultry dust, virus-contaminated particulate matter from infected flocks may be dispersed into the enviro...
