Copper binding by dissolved organic matter in freshwaters in Kenya
(Department of Chemistry, 2007)
The binding of Cu2+ to dissolved organic matter in eight different natural water samples obtained from different locations in Kenya was studied by potentiometric titration method. The DOC contents of the eight natural water ...
Adsorption/Desorption and Mobility of Carbofuran in Soil Samples from Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 1996-04)
Assessment of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in Lates niloticus, Oreochromis niloticus and Rastrineobola argentea as sources of human exposure in Kisumu Bay, Winam Gulf of Lake Victoria
(2012)
The concentrations of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in Lates niloticus, Oreochromis niloticus and Rastrineobola argentea from three beaches were assessed to establish whether they are sources of human exposure ...
Seasonal variability in cadmium, lead, copper, zinc and iron concentrations in the three major fish species, Oreochromis niloticus, Lates niloticus and Rastrineobola argentea in Winam Gulf, Lake Victoria: impact of wash-off into the lake
(2012)
Trace metals Cadmium (Cd), Lead (Pb), Copper (Cu), Zinc (Zn) and Iron (Fe) were analyzed in edible portions of three main finfish species namely Lates niloticus, Oreochromis niloticus and Rastrineobola argentea sampled ...
Analysis of heavy metals in water and surface sediment in five Rift Valley lakes in Kenya for assessment of recent increase in anthropogenic activities
(2007)
The concentrations of heavy metals Ag, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Mn, Ni, Pb, Sn and Zn were analysed in water and surface sediments of five Rift Valley lakes Nakuru, Elementaita, Naivasha, Bogoria and Baringo in Kenya. The dissolved ...
Distribution and Dissipation of Carbofuran in a Paddy Field in the Kano Plains of Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 1996-04)
Heavy Metals in Water and Surface Sediments in Winam Gulf of Lake Victoria, Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 2006-09)
Water Quality and Trace Metal Distribution in a Pristine Lake in the Lake Basin in Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 2008-04)
Water and surface sediment samples taken from various locations within Lake Kanyaboli in the Lake Victoria basin were analysed to determine the concentration and distribution of heavy metals. There were wide ranges in ...
The effects of Mn2+, Ni2+, Cu2+, Co2+ and Zn2+ ions on pesticide adsorption and mobility in a tropical soil.
(2009)
The adsorption behaviour of DDT in a tropical silt-clay soil from Kenya showed that addition of increasing metal ion concentrations from 10 to 100 microg/g of soil, reduced the % DDT adsorption in the soil by factors ranging ...
