Soil health is a matter of growing concern because of its degradation due to unsustainable
anthropogenic activities over the last few decades. It is maintained by interactions among …

This study investigated the removal of Pb (II) from aqueous solutions by a maize (Zea mays)
stalk sponge. Equilibrium and kinetic models for Pb (II) sorption were developed by …

In this study, the biosorption of lead (II) ions on Sargassum ilicifolium, brown seaweed, was
investigated in a batch system. The effects of operating parameters such as initial pH, initial …

Thirty percent of residents in Nairobi practise urban agriculture (UA) with a majority of the
farmers using untreated sewage to irrigate crop and fodder. Due to the environmental and …

The competitive removal of Pb2+, Cu2+, and Cd2+ ions from aqueous solutions by the
copolymer of 2‐acrylamido‐2‐methyl‐1‐propane sulfonic acid (AMPS) and itaconic acid …

Lead is one of the hazardous heavy metal pollutants of the environment that originates from
various sources. Soil contamination by lead reduces the quality of both soil and cultivated …

The effects of heavy metals lead (Pb), Cadmium (Cd) and Cromium (Cr) on nematode
communities and earthworm density and biomass were studied in the wastewater irrigated …

The unplanned shift from rural to urban cities in developing countries have continually put
burden on planners, policy makers and the residents. The productive use of wastewater has …

The primary objective of this study was to assess the levels of heavy metals, nitrate, and
pesticide residues in kale (Brassicaolaracea var. olecephala), a leafy vegetable. The study …

In this study, dried leaves (mulch) of Madhuca longifolia and Polyalthia longifolia have been
used for removing Pb (II) from aqueous media. Their biosorption capacities were enhanced …
