    Abstract: Seaweeds are a rich source of highly potential bioactive compounds in the pharmaceutical industry. To date, many chemically unique compounds of marine origin with various biological activities have been isolated and some of them are under investigation and to develop new pharmaceuticals. The phytochemical screening will be limited to the determinat... Show More

    Abstract: Metallic Trace Elements (ETM) are naturally transported to the shallows by runoff. As the lowlands are exploited for market gardening, ETM can be found in the products of these crops and present risks of contamination for the populations. It is with this in mind that we decided to study the mobility of metallic trace elements in the soils of the ma... Show More

    Abstract: In order to assess the health risks associated with the ingestion of heavy metals or trace metal elements (TME) contained in foodstuffs from market garden crops, we sampled the tomato, cabbage, onion and leaves of 'onions and lettuce grown in the lowlands of the town of Daloa. The concentrations of ETM contained in these market garden products were... Show More
