AbstractThe largest freshwater and oligotrophic lake in northern Myanmar, called
Indawgyi Lake, is at potential risk of eutrophication due to the phosphorus (P)
export from nearby paddy fields. In this study, the P status of the soil of
paddy fields and its potential mobility to the lake water to cause
eutrophication have been evaluated. The Indawgyi Lake is the third largest lake
in Asia and beca... hiện toàn bộ

AbstractMedicinal plants have played an undeniable role in treating diseases in
mankind. However, these plants may be contaminated by toxic substances like
heavy metals. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the contamination and
health risks (carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic) of heavy metals in economically
important medicinal plants mostly in Northern Nigeria. A total of 72 samples
from 12 m... hiện toàn bộ
AbstractUrban centres in Ghana continue to expand to areas with difficult
accessibility, severely impacting location decisions on solid waste disposal
sites (SWDS). This study uses the location theory to examine the spatial
distribution of SWDS in urban Ghana. Methodologically, it uses the nearness
neighbour tool, which is a key component in GIS for spatial analysis. The
results show that the dist... hiện toàn bộ
