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 ...
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 ...
Caffeine and Ciprofloxacin Adsorption from Water onto Clinoptilolite: Linear Isotherms, Kinetics, Thermodynamic and Mechanistic Studies
(South African Journal of Chemistry, 2019-01)
In this study, clinoptilolite was used to sequester ciprofloxacin (CIP) and caffeine (CAF), two emergent contaminants, from aqueous solution using batch equilibration method and the effects of contact time, pH, initial ...
Occurrence and Distribution of Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances from Multi-Industry Sources to Water, Sediments and Plants along Nairobi River Basin, Kenya
(International Journal of 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 ...
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances in selected sewage sludge in Nigeria.
(Chemosphere, 2013-07-03)
Levels of seven major perfluoroalkyl carboxylates (PFCAs) and three perfluoroalkyl sulfonates (PFSAs) were analyzed for the first time in sludge from wastewater treatment plants from Nigeria. Measurements were performed ...
Bioaccumulation of perfluoroalkyl acids in dairy cows in a naturally contaminated environment.
(Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2013-05-04)
Beef and dairy products may be important vectors of human exposure to perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAAs), but the understanding of how PFAAs are accumulated and transferred through agricultural food chains is very limited. Here, ...

Endocrine disrupting chemicals in wastewater treatment plants in Kenya, East Africa: Concentrations, removal efficiency, mass loading rates and ecological impacts
(Environmental Research, 2023-11-01)
This study investigated the levels, mass loadings, removal efficiency, and associated ecotoxicological risks of selected endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs), namely, dibutylphthalate (DBP), diethylhexylphthalate (DEHP), ...
SARS-CoV-2 Detection in Fecal Samples in Sym-asymptotic Patients with Typical Findings of COVID-19 on Ag-RDT and SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR Tests
(Europe PMC, 2022-09-28)
Coronavirus is a disease caused by a severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) which emerged as a global pandemic in 2019 from Wuhan, China. Since its emergence, it has caused immense suffering to human ...
