Abstract: The art as an entity is the manifestation or use of human inventiveness and artistic skill, commonly creating products to be perceived as beautiful or to induce emotional effect. Food has long been regarded as a source of livelihood but over the years and especially with the advent of technology in the world there has been recognition that food can be used as a form of artistic expression. The interrelation of these two fields together, art and gastronomy,...

Abstract: The study investigates the potential human health risks due to consumption of Oreochromis niloticus and Tympanotonus fuscatus, Bodo Creek, Rivers State, Nigeria using the US EPA (2001) human health risk assessment protocol.The study showed that heavy metals in sediment (Pb ,0.029±0.002 mg/L; Cd, 0.019±0.001 mg/L, and Ni, 5.311±0.61 mg/L) exceeded DPR (2002). limits. Evidence of intake and retention of COPCs in Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) and Periwinkle (Tympanotonus fuscatus), showing Pb levels of 0.051±0.002 mg/L in Tilapia and 0.027±0.003 mg/L in Periwinkle, surpassing US EPA limits. The result revealed that PAHs in surface water and...

Abstract: The rapid increase in population growth and the need to maintain food security, particularly in developing countries, have led to a rise in the use of pesticides to meet the high demand for food. This leads to the high application of pesticides to boost production. This study was conducted to determine the residues of pesticides in vegetables in the study area. Triplicate composite samples of spinach, sorrel, and okra were collected from two irrigation sites (Alau and Gongolong). At each site, 13 subsamples of each vegetable were collected and homogenized...

Keywords: Pesticide residues, vegetables, Lake Alau, Gongolong, Maiduguri.

Abstract: This study investigates the effect of pH, Ionic Strength, Selected Ligands and Metals Cations on the partitioning of uranium between the aqueous phase and elemental iron, along with its corrosion products, in the presence and absence of arsenic. To this end, a series of batch isotherm and kinetic experiments were conducted, allowing up to 24 hours of equilibration under dark conditions using aluminum foil. Most experimental rectors contained a 10 mM KCl background electrolyte, spiked with either 50 μM uranium alone or 50 μM of each uranium and arsenic. Speciation calculations using PHREEQC indicate that within a pH range of 3–5, the species UO2²⁺ and H2AsO4⁻ dominate...
