Workplace monitoring and occupational health studies in Kenya using nuclear and related analytical techniques
(Institute Of Nuclear Science, University Of Nairobi, Kenya, 1997)
Air pollution studies in Nairobi are indicating a rising trend in the particulate matter loading. The trend is
mainly attributed to increased volume of motor vehicles, the physical change of the environment,
agricultural ...
EDXRF analysis of local and imported pica soil samples
(EAST AFRICAN JOURNAL OF SCIENCE I Volume 3 -Part 1 June 2001, 2001)
Several studies have implicated trace metal metabolism with some human diseases. Energy
Dispersive X-Ray Fluorescence(EDXRF)method was used to analyse pica soil samples, which
are consumed by some pregnant mothers in ...
Heavy metal analysis of suspended particulate matter (SPM) and other samples from some workplaces in Kenya
(1998)
Air pollution studies in Nairobi are indicating a rising trend in the particulate matter loading. The trend is mainly attributed to increased volume of motor vehicles, the physical change of the environment, agricultural ...
Prospects of Establishing Food Irradiation Facilities in Kenya
(1997)
A national project of food irradiation in the country is being proposed. At present there
are no facilities for food irradiation (and food irradiation research) in Kenya. This report
is therefore largely comparative ...
Pixe analysis of trace elements in tissues of rats treated with anticonvulsants
(1987)
Several lines of evidence implicate metals in epilepsy. Anticonvulsant drugs are noted to alter levels of metals in humans and animals. PIXE analysis was used to investigate effects of three anticonvulsant drugs on tissue ...
Lead and other metals distribution in local cooking salt from the fofi salt‐ spring in akwana, middle benue trough, Nigeria
(1991)
Energy Dispersive X‐ray Fluorescence(EDXRF) technique has been used to determine the concentrations of lead(Pb) and other heavy metals in local cooking salts(LCS) from Akwana village, Middle Benue Trough, Nigeria. The ...
Trace element analysis of mineral and tap water samples using total reflection x-ray fluorescence (TXRF)
(2000)
Results of trace element analysis by TXRF of tap water and various brands of bottled mineral water samples which are representative of local and imported brands sold in Nairobi are reported. The variation in elemental ...
The impact of pollution on the ecology of the Nairobi-Athi River system in Kenya
(1991)
The pollution of the Nairobi-Athi River System is assessed by heavy metal analysis of the river water, industrial effluents, the invertebrate community and the riverine vegetation between Nongara upstream (UP) and 14 falls. ...
