    Abstract: The management of crop residues remains a major concern for the populations of regions with strong agricultural activity, because their poor management is often a source of disease. Also the absence of a consolidated database of the quantities of agricultural waste actually produced in the localities makes it difficult to exploit them. This work ai... Show More

    Abstract: Heavy metals pollution of the soil is of environmental concern and various methods have been applied to reduce its concentration. This study examines the accumulation of metal ion from aqueous solution and remediation potential of indigenous Escherichia intermedium and Sḫigella soṉnei isolated from polluted site. Standardized 2 mL of inoculum was a... Show More

    Abstract: Rapid bioassessment protocols (RBP) have been used widely to assess and compare benthic macro invertebrate communities, often in the context of determining impacts from impairments to water quality. Given that a relatively small sample of 100 organisms often was used to calculate various biological metrics, the question of how frequently difference... Show More
