(2014)
An entomological longitudinal survey was carried out over a 22 month period in two semi-arid villages in
Baringo District in Kenya to study how adult malaria vectors survive under semi-arid conditions and during
extended ...
Adsorption of Dursban (Chlorpyrifos) Pesticide by Loam Soil from Limuru, Kenya: Apparent Thermodynamic Properties
(University of Nairobi, 2014)
The adsorption phenomenon of chlorpyrifos by suspended loam soil particles from Limuru, Kenya in an aqueous
solution was studied using a model which assumes the adsorption/ desorption relations: nSX S nX ⇔ + ,
