Trends towards Effective Analysis of Fluorinated Compounds Using Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS)
(Hindawi, 2021-02-03)
Increased demand for monitoring and identification of novel and unknown fluorinated compounds (FCs) has demonstrated the need of sensitive fluorine-specific detectors for unknown FCs in both biological and environmental ...
Strength and Durability Properties of Concrete Containing Pumice and Scoria as Supplementary Cementitious Material
(Hindawi, 2021-05-24)
Concrete structures suffer serious deterioration under a corrosive environment. Consequently, the service life of these concrete
structures is decreased and deteriorates under combined attack of sulphate and chlorides. ...
The Influence of Fertilizers on the Behavior of Fluoride Fractions in the Alkaline Soil
(Elsevier, 2021-08-23)
It has been established that fluoride bioavailability in the soil is defined by the form which it exists rather than the amount of total fluoride. In the soil, fluoride exist in different fractions such as water soluble ...
A Review on Contaminants of Emerging Concern in the Environment: A Focus on Active Chemicals in Sub-Saharan Africa
(MDPI, 2021-12-22)
: Active chemicals are among the contaminants of emerging concern that are rarely covered
in regulatory documents in sub-Saharan Africa. These substances are neither in the list of routinely
monitored substances nor in ...
Structural characterization of cassava linamarase-linamarin enzyme complex: an integrated computational approach
(Taylor & Francis Group, 2021-05-21)
Cassava linamarase is a hydrolyzing enzyme that belongs to a glycoside hydrolase family 1 (GH1). It is responsible for breaking down linamarin to toxic cyanide. The enzyme provides a defensive mechanism for plants against ...
Impacts of Wood Fuel Uses on Forest Cover: The Case of Semiarid Areas in Northern Tanzania
(University of Dar es Salaam, 2021)
Satellite images for the years 1987, 1997, 2002 and 2017, and questionnaire surveys were used to
assess energy sources and demands as well as the impacts of wood fuel use to forest cover changes
in Meru and Mwanga ...
Assessment of fluoride removal in a batch electrocoagulation process: A case study in the Mount Meru Enclave.
(Elseiver, 2021-03-01)
The presence of excessive amounts of fluoride than prescribed standards has been reported
in various sources of domestic water supply around the slopes of Mount Meru and other
parts in Tanzania. Efforts to remove the ...
Natural Groundwater Recharge Response to Climate Variability and Land Cover Change Perturbations in Basins with Contrasting Climate and Geology in Tanzania
(MDPI, 2021-08-30)
The response of aquifers with contrasting climate and geology to climate and land cover change perturbations through natural groundwater recharge remains inadequately understood. In Tanzania and elsewhere in the world, ...
Life cycle analysis of potential municipal solid wastes management scenarios in Tanzania: the case of Arusha City
(Springer Nature, 2021-01-07)
The municipal solid wastes (MSW) management technologies in most cities of developing countries pose a continuous risk of contaminating the environment and affecting human health adversely; often because MSW technologies ...
Performance of inclined plates settler integrated with constructed wetland for high turbidity water treatment
(IWA Publishing, 2021)
The purpose of this study was to investigate and demonstrate cost-effective treatment technologies for high
turbid waters, used for domestic purposes in rural areas of Tanzania where conventional community water
treatment ...
