Heavy Metals in Edible Vegetables Grown Around Sewage Ponds and Damp Site in Eldoret Town, Kenya
(Journal of Natural Sciences Research, 2016-04)
Exposure to heavy metals including Ni, Cd, Cr, Co, Pb, As, Hg, Zn and Cu, has been recognized as a risk to human health through the consumption of vegetables. This study investigates the source and magnitude of heavy metal ...
Biosorption of Selected Heavy Metals Using Green Algae, Spirogyra Species
(Journal of Natural Sciences Research, 2016-07)
Biosorption studies were conducted to determine the adsorption parameters (pH, contact time and adsorption capacity) of cadmium, chromium, copper and lead in model aqueous solutions using green algae, spirogyra species. ...
