Occurrence and Distribution of Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances from Multi-Industry Sources to Water, Sediments and Plants along Nairobi River Basin, Kenya
(Environmental Research and Public Health, 2022-07-23)
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are ever-present pollutants in the environment. They are persistent and bio-accumulative with deleterious health effects on biota. This study assesses the levels of PFAS in ...
Synthesis of mesoporous akaganeite functionalized maize cob biochar for adsorptive abatement of carbamazepine: Kinetics, isotherms, and thermodynamics
(Cleaner Materials journal homepage: www.journals.elsevier.com/cleaner-materials https://doi.org/10.1016/j.clema.2022.100104 Received 16 March 2022; Received in revised form 6 June 2022; Accepted 12 June 2022, 2022-06-17)
In this work, akaganeite (β-FeO(OH)) impregnated maize cob biochar (Fe-MCB) was prepared by direct hydrolysis, and its adsorptive potential was tested against aqueous solutions of carbamazepine (CBZ), an emerging contaminant. ...

Simulation guided prediction of zeolites for the sorption of selected anions from water: Machine learning predictors for enhanced loading
(Journal of Molecular Liquids, 2022-06-01)
The development of highly efficient adsorbents, especially those that can harvest anions like CrO42−, AsO43−, NO3– and PO43−, is one of the principal challenges in the water treatment field. The current study utilized a ...
High seroprevalence of Immunoglobulin G (IgG) and IgM antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 in asymptomatic and symptomatic individuals amidst vaccination roll-out in western Kenya
(PLOS ONE, 2022-12-22)
The population’s antibody response is a key factor in comprehending SARS-CoV-2 epidemiology. This is especially important in African settings where COVID-19 impact, and vaccination rates are relatively low. This study aimed ...
