Huge waste generation by the rapidly growing Mamfe town is posing enormous environmental challenges. This work that aimed at examining implications of household on potable water sources, used mixed research design, combining descriptive and experimental approaches. Ground (Two wells, one borehole) surface (two streams) sources were sampled empirical data for physicochemical parameters (PH, EC, ...

Mutations in SLC4A4, the gene encoding the electrogenic Na(+)-HCO3(-) cotransporter NBCe1, cause severe proximal renal tubular acidosis (pRTA), growth retardation, decreased IQ, and eye and teeth abnormalities. Among the known NBCe1 mutations, the disease-causing mechanism of the T485S (NBCe1-A numbering) mutation is intriguing because the substituted amino acid, serine, is structurally and che...

The chemical quality of groundwater in six district of the eastern region beneath the different types of land use areas of Ghana was examined to evaluate the effects of human activities on groundwater. Analyses indicate that groundwater in the studied area is fresh and generally suitable for most uses. The groundwater is generally characterised by a chemical facies of Ca-HCO3-, Na-Cl and mixed ...

Abstract Wetlands deliver many ecosystem services but are under continuous threat due to various anthropogenic activities. The present study has been carried out examine the suitability of Kusheshwar-Asthan wetland's water for agriculture. A total 57 samples were analyzed quality parameters like electrical conductivity, pH, temperature, dissolved oxygen (DO), major cations (Ca2+, Mg2+, Na+, K+)...

The effect of NO3- on intracellular pH (pHi) was assessed microfluorimetrically in mammalian cells in culture. In cells of human, hamster, and murine origin addition of extracellular NO3- induced an intracellular acidification. This acidification was eliminated when the cytosolic pH was clamped using ionophores or by perfusing the cytosol with highly buffered solutions using patch-pipettes, rul...

Zero-valent iron/peroxymonosulfate (Fe0/PMS) has been considered as a promising approach for wastewater treatment. Anions and cations are widely present in have significant effects on the performance of Fe0/PMS system Thus, study, tartrazine was selected target model; SO42−, NO3−, HCO3−, Cl− were representative anions Ca2+, Cu2+, Mg2+, Mn2+ chosen cations. The effect these removal major radical...

This work aims to investigate the hydrochemical characteristics and formation mechanisms of shallow groundwater in a part Nanchang section Ganfu plain. The data from 90 samples were interpreted by methods mathematical statistics, Piper diagrams, Gibbs plots, ratio graphs ions, geochemical modeling. results show that is weakly acidic, average concentration cation decrease Ca2+ > Na+ Mg2+ K+, ...

This work analyzes the role of natural groundwater, as well effect HCO3−, Ca2+, Mg2+, K+, SO42- and Cl− concentrations, upon photocatalytic nitrate reduction using ilmenite catalyst oxalic acid hole scavenger. The removal selectivity towards N2 are significantly limited compared to previous experiments ultrapure water matrix. Calcium (Ca2+), bicarbonate (HCO3−) pH claimed major controlling fact...

Present work is aimed at assessing Water Quality Index (WQI) for groundwater of Upper Pincha Basin, Chittoor District, Andhra Pradesh. This has been carried out by collecting groundwater samples and subjecting them to comprehensive physico-chemical analysis. Results obtained were compared with standard values recommended by WHO for drinking and public health. For computing WQI, eleven parameter...

Hydrogeological investigation have been carried out in Dantewada district. Groundwater samples were collected from selected locations in month of September 2013 and analyzed for major and minor cations & anions. Piper Diagram identified Ca-Mg-HCO3 dominantin water in most of the samples. The dominance of anions and cations were of the order of HCO3 > SO4 2>Cl > NO3 > PO4 2and Mg 2+ >Ca 2+ > Na ...
