Abstract:

Drone technology has emerged as a very important platform to do sensing of physical phenomena around us with fine-granularity and offers enormous potential and capability for industrial pollution monitoring and dense areas like urban cities. Air Quality is a local phenomena, that is, it changes in a significant manner from point to point, thus making Air Quality mapping from scarce static Air Quality sensors, practically in-significant. Thus, Air Quality monitoring using mobile sources holds enormous potential as it gives us the ability to perform geospatial-temporal pollution mapping of a geographically wide region using just a few hundred sensors. In this study, we have designed a fixed-wing solar-powered UAV, with potential to perform perpetual flight using solar power and generate Air Quality data in real time. This system was successfully field tested at a low altitude and on ground, collecting, storing and transmitting data through a data fusion module consisting of low cost OPC R1 sensor, Raspberry Pi and Pixhawk Flight controller. We do geospa-tialtemporal analysis of the generated PM 2.5 data from the system, which could be very useful to identify pollution hotspots in urban areas, industrial region and glaciers. Our UAV design, makes it more efficient than previous studies on Air Quality monitoring using quadcopters, due to less propeller wash on sensor readings and more flight time. We also take a look at using state of the art thermal camera on UAV for In-frared signatures of harmful CH4 emissions in oil & gas industry and remote sensing of Air Quality using satellite data.

Abstract:

The rapid expansion of industrial areas in Oman and the sharp fluctuation in oil prices encourage Oman to increase investment in environmental-friendly renewable energy technologies in order to improve the economy sector to be less dependence on fuel consumption and protect its environment. Nowadays, one the most promising green energy technology is the utilization of the eco-friendly electric vehicles (EVs) which has been strongly penetrate the automotive market especially in Europe, USA and East Asia. However, EVs performance and their environmental effects are still not visible in Gulf region, due to the lack of systematic approach to investigate such technology. The contribution of the transportation sector to the total CO₂ emissions in Oman is around 26% which is slightly lower than the contribution of the electric generation sector. It is worth mentioning that the transport sector across the country is rapidly increasing as a result of Oman’s increasing population. A theoretical study in 2009 showed that on each 1000 people 256 vehicles were in operatio, while additional 0.12 million new vehicles were registered during 2010.Despite the fact that EVs have zero emissions, there are indirect generated emissions associated with utilizing electricity for charging the traction battery. By considering 31.8 kWh/100 km as the consumed energy by the EV based on tested representative driving cycle in Oman, the expected emissions associated with using the EVs is found to be 32.976 kg CO₂/100 km. However, EVs emissions can be significantly reduced through using the high levels of solar energy in Oman.

Abstract:

The study penalty to polluter according to polluter index:  A sustainable solution to reduce extreme pollution have propose an index which classify the polluters according to their responsibilities to pollute the environment. Study have constructed a polluter index with reference to current polluter indexes. Then this study suggests to charge that polluters according to their pollution promoting activities by making an act “Penalty to polluter act” which has already been derived by successful and effective publication of three research ‘Fine Kathmandu Act: A sustainable solution to reduce extreme pollution’ in Kathmandu, Nepal,  ‘Fine Delhi Act: A sustainable solution to reduce extreme pollution’ in New Delhi, India, ‘Penalty to polluter act: A sustainable solution to reduce extreme pollution’  in Australia respectively in 2016, 2017 and 2018 AD. Those studies propose easiest, scientific and effective solution to reduce the pollution of highly polluted cities completely and to cure the effect of extreme pollution. Way is charging the polluter by cash and distribution of collected cash making fund to affected innocent people (who are not responsible for pollution) directly through making an effective Bill (Act). Earlier studies have proposed to develop ‘Penalty to Polluter Act’ and have discussed about who should be punished, penalty areas, affected areas by the pollution, for whom should be reimbursed and how to go ahead. At this time, this study have described an index which could classify the polluter according to their responsibilities to pollute the environment. Study have proposed an index that could classify the polluter from less polluter to high polluter.  Through descriptive analytical method and textual analysis, study have resulted that, the only one justice to the innocent people who are neither in city nor polluter is punishing the real polluter (like users and producers of products and service of Multi-national companies, National companies, local companies and etc.) and their mismanaged sophisticated lifestyle according to their pollution promoting actions. Study suggests an effective method to solve the problem of pollution to all over the world.

Abstract:

This paper is intended to provide an overview of the application of various supporting materials and its classification for catalyst immobilization. The immobilized catalysts could be an ideal solution for the degradation of bio-recalcitrant organic contaminates. The process of immobilization can eliminate the costly post-treatment needed for recovering the photocatalysts at a large scale. Supports may be movable such as zeolites, polymers, quartz sand, and 3-D graphene or fixed such as glass plates, aluminum plates, and stainless steel plates which have been previously studied by various researchers. Also, provide a review of the different categories of bio-recalcitrant organics such as pharmaceuticals, aromatics, pesticides, surfactants, and dyes. Finally, it demonstrates the role of catalyst reusability which is very important in large scale industries.

Abstract:

In recent years, new energy has managed to work their way off of oil and natural gas; it is liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). With their advantages of clean, transportable energy, LPG managed to penetrate sectors as diverse as residential, petrochemicals, agriculture, industry and automotive (LPG) [1], Purvin & Gertz estimates that the global market will grow about 3.1% per year [2].  LPG occupies a place of great importance in the marketing strategy of hydrocarbons Sonatrach. However the evolution experienced by the energy sector, now offers better marketing opportunities, on the other hand, the production of LPG must meet the marketing standards, and that is why we must optimize the operating parameters in the fractionation units thereof. Nowadays, the simulation and optimization of chemical processes require precise knowledge of the equilibrium properties of the blends over wide ranges of temperatures, pressures and compositions, these phase equilibria can be measured by various methods. The calculations balanced liquid - vapor are very often produced using state of cubic equations. When these equations of state are applied to mixtures, molecular interactions are taken into account by a binary interaction coefficient, called kij, the choice is very tricky, even for simple mixtures [3], these methods represent models Thermodynamic who experienced progressive development since their appearance.

Abstract:

The definition of Polarization Index is given for a one electron state and its possible numerical values are fixed. The definition is extended to a system of free electrons.One introduces a Coherent system, where the Polarization Indexes of all the electron components are the same. A special Coherent system is then considered which is also Symmetric, i.e. such that all the electron Polarization Indexes assume their maximum allowed value. One shows that the effects of a constant magnetic field on the helicity and on the energy of a Symmetric Coherent system are maxima. Under the assumption that the magnetic properties of the Pollack EZ water coincide with those of the free electrons that it may contain, the possibility of producing positive magnetic effects on the EZ water of the human organism are considered and suggested.

Abstract:

Currently, the problem of deforestation and the degradation of the environment is very worried. To mitigate and limit the resulting effects, governments and NGO organizations, which fight for the protection of the environment, have set up awareness and promotion programs to use green solar energy (photovoltaic and thermal) for cooking in homes. Solar thermal ovens have been proposed, but their performances and performances do not meet the needs of users (rural or urban). In this context, in collaboration with the Polytechnic Faculty of MONS (Belgium) (project: Wallonia-Brussels International WBI, 2018-2022, N ° 4.2), socioeconomic sectors and civil society (National Initiative for Human Development INDH (N ° 29 / 2017) from the province of Berkane, Association AHEB), we are conducting research to propose innovative solar cookers (ovens and hotplates) equipped with remote control and supervision equipment, using photovoltaic energy.In this paper, we present the results of the progress of the work on the prototype powred by photovoltaic energy. The main results show:In the case of hot plates: we have sized, according to the nature of the PV panels and the thermal resistance used, a heating plate, powered by a power of 230 W, to heat 1 liter of water and 0.33 liter of the oil . The prototype set up provides for an illumination of 730W / m², a temperature of 500 °C after 30 seconds, a rapid rise in the temperature of water and oil of 10 °C / min, a temperature of baking greater than 200 °C and a thermal efficiency greater than 70%. Comparing these results compared to those obtained on conventional solar furnaces of the thermal box type, we deduce very interesting performances on our prototype: improvement of the climbs of temperature of 75%, improvement of temperatures of cooking of 164% and the thermal efficiencies 16%. In the case of furnaces of the box type: The results obtained show, under an illumination of 770 W/m2, ambient temperature of 18 °C and electrical power of 340 W, temperatures of the thermal resistance of 686 °C, temperatures and thermal efficiencies of the oven respectively 200 °C and 77%. Heating one liter of water indicates a boiling time of 50 minutes and a complete evaporation of the order of 3 hours. The comparison between the experimental results and the simulated results shows a good agreement and consequently the validation of the operation of the thermoelectric model of the box-type furnace proposed, operating with photovoltaic energy inside the hearths.

Abstract:

The levels of nineteen heavy metals have been determined in twelve soil and six vegetable samples [each for Telfairia ocidentalis (TC) and Vernonia amygdalina (VA)] at Gemade Estate using Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectrometry (EDXRF). Three identical samples in a different area were also collected and analyzed using the same procedure as control. The levels (mg/kg) were in the order Fe > Ti > Ca >  Mn > K> V> Cr > Co> Ni > Zn > Sc > Y > Se > Ga > Sr > Rb > B r> As  in soil samples. The concentration of the heavy metals in the vegetables, TC and VA ranged from 1.111 to 14.010 and 0.475 to 29520 mg/kg respectively with their values higher than the WHO/FEPA permissible limits and similar studies. The results indicated that no strong significant correlation and difference exists  (r = 0.552: p<0.05, tv = 0.429) between the levels of the heavy metals and control but samples from the oil spillage areas were slightly enriched in Ca, Cr, Ti, V, Fe, As (with Enrichment factors, EF = 1.00 – 1.437 ) and  Br, Co, Mn, Ti (EF = 1.00 - 2.16) for soil and plants respectively. The results obtained gave the baseline concentration of these heavy metals in the samples and indicated contamination which could be of serious health concern to residents of such an environment.

Abstract:

Gasoline workers are continuously exposed to many kinds of harmful fumes at their working places. These fumes contain terribly dangerous pollutants which can seriously alter the urinary and hematological profiles. This could be pathological in many conditions. Aim and Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the effects (if any) of the exposure of gasoline station workers to the gasoline with special focus on CBC parameters and urinary pattern. Result: In hematological examinations of group-I, WBC Counts, EO, BA, and platelets with indices PCT and MPV were significantly increased.  In Group-II, WBC counts, LY, EO, BA and platelets with indices PCT and MPV were significantly increased, whereas RBCs and HGB with their indices HCT, MCV and were significantly decreased. Significant changes in specific gravity, PH-values, Nitrate, Protein, Ketone, UGB and Bilirubin were also investigated. Significant weak negative correlations were found among RBC (r=-0.3, p=0.003), HGB (r=-0.3, p=0.003), HCT (r=-0.3, p=0.003) and MCV (r=-0.22, p=0.03) with the exposure length. Significant weak positive correlation of MO (r=0.23, p=0.03), BA (r=0.22, p=0.04) were observed with the exposure length in gasoline filling workers

Abstract:

Production of calcium carbonate by indirect carbonation of BOF (Basic Oxygen Furnace) slag usually requires a calcium extraction stage to promote the dissolution of calcium in solution. Several lines of evidence suggest that the grinding of BOF slag to smaller particle size accelerates the calcium leaching process at the expense of a high energy input and further environmental constraints such as dust management. In order to minimize the excessive consumption of energy due to grinding, this study focused on the optimization of calcium extraction from unmilled BOF slag using 2 conventional solvents namely ammonium chloride (NH4Cl) and ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3) and graphical analyses based on simple extraction mass balance. The study was conducted at the experimentally determined threshold solvent-to-slag mass ratio of 10/1, to avoid the dissolution of impurities such as iron, silicon, magnesium and manganese and guarantee minimum extraction equipment costs. The results obtained using umilled BOF slag show that the efficiency of calcium extraction from the unmilled BOF slag reached ~ 75% for NH4NO3 and ~69% for NH4Cl in 2 extraction stages. A calcium carbonate precipitation yields of 80% was reached at 25oC and 6.5 bars. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) analysis of the dry calcium carbonate precipitate obtained showed that it is mostly dependent on the flow rate of CO2 injected in the carbonation reactor and the system pressure. Finally, the precipitated calcium carbonate was evaluated for the treatment of acid mine drainage.

Abstract:

The Wood River, located in the Old Wives Lake watershed in southern Saskatchewan, is an important water resource for people living in this area.  Agriculture dominates land use in the basin, while the river receives waste water effluent from the town of Gravelbourg twice yearly.  Both land usage in the basin and the dumping of municipal waste water effluent have the potential to degrade water quality in the river. To date however, the water quality of the Wood River has been relatively unstudied.   The purpose of this study was threefold. First, to evaluate the water quality of the Wood River and compare it to similar river systems. Then, to evaluate the effects of nutrients on the pelagic phytoplankton in the river to determine the biological responsiveness to nutrient additions which might occur as a result of agricultural land use and municipal waste water effluent. Lastly to propose mitigative measures that could help to reduce the potential threat of increased nutrients. To determine the effect that agricultural land use and municipal waste water effluent was having on river water quality, nutrient and chlorophyll a (a measure of algal biomass) levels in the river were examined.  Five sites, having different land use patterns, were chosen for this purpose.  These included a reference site at a regional park not directly affected by agriculture, a site where agricultural land use dominated, a site utilized by cattle, a reservoir within the river system used for drinking water and surrounded by agriculture and finally, a site just downstream from where Gravelbourg's municipal waste is released. Nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) levels were high in the Wood River when compared to similar systems. The mean TP concentration for the Wood River over the two years of this study was 474 µg/L (± 246 STD) while the mean ammonia concentration was 223 µg/L (± 993 STD). These concentrations exceeded water quality guidelines. Algal biomass and nutrient concentrations were higher at sites where nonpoint source pollution from agriculture or point source pollution from sewage effluents was present. Nutrient enrichment bioassays also indicated that the algal population in the Wood River was responsive to additions of nutrients, therefore, increases in nutrients will increase algal biomass in the river. The bioassays also revealed that at the sites where agriculture and municipal waste water were present, the algal population was N limited indicating an excess of P in the river.  The municipal point source of pollution had a great effect on algal biomass and these effects lasted for about three weeks after the release. Different land use patterns and municipal waste water effluent were potentially having a negative effect on the water quality of the Wood River.  An examination of mitigative strategies available in the Old Wives Lake area revealed that land management tools including the implementation of soil conservation practices and riparian management could be useful in protecting the Wood River from degradation. Neither soil conservation practices nor riparian management are used extensively in the watershed, and both of these practices could help improve the water quality of the Wood River.

Abstract:

Air pollution from the polyaromatic hydrocarbonic compounds which release from vehicular emission and oil refining processes give a great risk to all living beings due to high carcinogenicity and genotoxicity. Among sixteen polyaromatic hydrocarbonic compounds, phenanthrene takes special place as a hazardous compound since it has high carcinogenicity and long term persistency in the environment. Phyllosphere is the inner and outer area of a leaf which accommodates large number of microorganisms belongs to different genera of bacteria, fungi, algea, and protozoa. Microorganisms inhabit the phyllosphere has ability to degrade polyaromatic compounds and out of them fungi show high capability. Therefore this research attempt is to isolate the best phyllosphere fungi who are able to do phylloremediation of phenanthrene. The leaf samples collected from five urban polluted areas in Sri Lanka were used to isolate phenanthrene degrading fungal species.  Phenanthrene degrading ability of them was screened using plate assays and further analysis was done using UV-spectrophotometric method and HPLC method. After selecting the best phenanthrene degraders they were identified up to species level using molecular techniques followed by PCR amplification, amplicons sequencing and BLASTN search. The results revealed Penicillium oxalicum, Aspergilllus aculeatus, Aspergillus oryzea and Colletrotrichum siamense were efficient phenanthrene degraders. Out of them Penicillium oxalicum showed the highest degradation capability and it was more than 80 %. The best fungal species can be used as bioremediators to clean the air which is polluted from the polyaromatic hydrocarbons.

Abstract:

The use of bioenergy has become a good alternative to reduce the emission of polluting gases. In Brazil, this type of energy has increased in the last years. Hydrogen has presented itself as an alternative fuel in relation to fossil fuels, becoming economically competitive. Informations on the viability of biohydrogen production using wastewater from cassava processing is very limited. This paper analyzes the exergetic and economic efficiency of the biohydrogen production using cassava wastewater from a large-scale plant, through a computer simulation of the process performed by the reformer using the software HYSYS (version 8.0). The exergetic analysis revealed that the Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) is the step with highest irreversibility, being responsible for 85.7% of all exergy destroyed in the productive process. The study showed that the global exergetic efficiency of the plant was 79%, which is a good value in comparison to others in the literature. The economic feasibility calculation was performed to evaluate how interesting the process is by analyzing the investment, operation and maintenance costs of the biogas steam reformer and the hydrogen production cost achieved the value of 0.13 US$/kWh with a payback period of 7 years. The results obtained by these analyses showed that this type of hydrogen production is a good choice for power generation.

Abstract:

Economic development, urbanization, energy consumption, transportation, open incinerators, power generators, Agricultural activities and rapid population growth have been identified as anthropogenic activities contributing to air pollution in Lagos. Air pollution is a critical risk factor for noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) worldwide, causing about 24% of all adult deaths from heart disease, 29% from lung cancer, 25% from stroke, and 43% from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), the WHO estimates show.Therefore, regular monitoring of current air quality is essential. The study investigated the concentration of Sulfur dioxide (SO2), Nitrogen dioxide (NO2), Carbon monoxide (CO), Volatile organic compounds (VOC), and Particulate Matter (PM1, PM2.5, and PM10) in three different locations in Lagos Nigeria. The study was carried out to identify the level of the pollutants in the study areas as well as the health risk associated with these pollutants. Air quality Egg was used for the monitoring at the sample locations. The concentrations of all the pollutants at the three sample locations exceeded the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) and WHO standard for ambient air quality at some point during the monitoring, except for PM10 and CO that remained within the NAAQS all through the sampling period. PM10 however exceeded the WHO standard at Adekunle. The level of SO2 exceeded the NAAQS and WHO limits within the sample period. This is an indication of the need for long term air quality monitoring with a sustainable plan for air pollution management. Keywords: PM, Vehicular emission, open incenaration, power generator, health risk.

Abstract:

Cadmium (Cd) as one non-essential element is known to be one of the most toxic metals in the environment, which can influence on seeds and limit plant growth and germination. For this purpose In the current study, the impact of silicon nanoparticles on germination characters and key growth parameters were investigated in moso bamboo seedling under cadmium. Thus Seeds were germinated in the concentration of 100µm Cd alone and as well in a combination of two levels of SiO2NPs (100 and 200 µm) in compare with control treatments. Which have conducted in Petri dishes under laboratory conditions in three replications. To evaluate the effect of Nanoparticles on cadmium, germination characterize including germination percentage(GP), germination rate(GR), germination Index(GI), Mean Germination Time(MGT), and growth parameters such as length of shoot and root  as well plant biomass such as shoot and root dry weight and vigor indexes were measured. The results indicated that Si NPs significantly improved, relative to the control, germination characterizes (GP, GR, and GI) under Cd toxicity. Although lead to enhancing mean Germination Time (MGT). In another hand, the results indicated that plant growth indexes and plant biomass and vigor index of Moso bamboo improved under a combination of 100 um Cd with Silicon nanoparticles. We concluded that SiO2NPs could ameliorate cadmium toxic in seed germination, which this enhancement in germination parameters led to improving seedling growth in Moso bamboo under Cd toxicity. In another hand, we suggest that 200umol SiO2NPs has the most impact on seed germination and plant growth of Moso bamboo under 100 um cadmium stress. Thus, the use of Si NPs may help in controlling Cd in the stage of seed germination and seedling growth in Moso bamboo (Phyllostachys pubescens).

Abstract:

Amongst the noxious pollutants perceiving in the environment, hexavalent chromium is of environmental and public health concerns. The use of microbes to change the concentration of Cr(VI) in soil and improve the ability of plants to deal with elevated metal concentrations has significant economic and ecological benefits. In the present study, Cr(VI) tolerant microbe Pediococcus pentocaseus was isolated from a waste water site. Hexavalent chromium reduction potential of the same at 600 mg kg^-1 was found to be 87.42%. P. pentosaceus in combination with Vigna radiata and Vigna aconitifolia was assessed for enhancing the remediation of Cr(VI). Chromium toxicity in both the plants was found to be less after the addition of microbe in media where percentage decrease in root and shoot lengths was less as compared to that of plants alone in stress. Total chlorophyll content, in general, gradually decreased with increase in chromium concentration as compared to its control from 15.95 mg ml^-1 & 15.77 mg ml^-1 in control to 4.18 mg ml^-1 & 3.87 mg ml^-1 at 800 mg kg^-1 concentration in V.radiata & V.aconitifolia respectively. Not much variation in chlorophyll content was found upon adding the inoculum. Catalase activity was found to increase with increasing heavy metal concentration with maximum activity; 52 Umin^-1g^-1 & 62.53 Umin^-1g^-1  observed at 400 ppm and 600 ppm for V.radiata & V.aconitifolia respectively and 52.43 Umin^-1g^-1 & 52.91 Umin^-1g^-1 in V.radiata with inoculum and V. aconitifolia with inoculum @400 ppm respectively. Addition of P. pentocaseus had a significant impact on translocation and bioconcentration factors where TF of 2.4, 2.1 & 2.4 was found in V. aconitifolia at 200, 400 & 800 mg kg^-1. Higher remediation percentage i.e. 81.19% & 85.07% was observed at 800 mg kg^-1 after the addition of P. pentosaceus. The finding suggest that P. pentosaceus’s potency to reduce Cr(VI) could aid in bioremediation. Moreover, V. radiata and V. aconitifolia could constitute to be a better natural system for phytoremediation of Cr (VI) that could ameliorate with P. pentosaceus inoculation. This strategy could be considered as a phytoremediation tool with great economic and ecological relevance.

Abstract:

This study was designed to apply chemometrics in evaluating heavy metal levels in sediment and surface water of some streams in Port Harcourt and environs and to develop models that could predict future environmental patterns. Three industrial areas (Eleme, (EL), Oginigba (OG) and Rumuolumeni (RM)) and a control site Omuanwa (OM)) were selected. Sample collection, preservation and determination of heavy metal levels (Fe, Zn, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb and Mn) were done for sixteen months using standard methods. The results showed that the levels of Fe in surface water at OG (0.94 ± 0.41 mg/l) and RM (1.08 ± 0.75 mg/l) exceeded the National Environmental Standards and Regulations Enforcement Agency (NESREA) permissible limit of 0.05 mg/l, while Cd exceeded 0.01 mg/l national standard at all sites.. Pollution load index (PLI) > 1 indicated pollution with heavy metals in the order RM > OG > EL in surface water, PLI > 1.0 in sediment was in the order EL = OG > RM, while PLI < 1.0 at Omuanwa, the control site.  Development of models showed that concentration variations for surface water quality parameters were due to time and distance. Government should implement policies to control, regulate and manage discharge of wastes into the environment.

Abstract:

This paper aims to investigate pollution sources affecting Mamelodi Township within the City of Tshwane in Gauteng Province, South Africa. The province has the largest population and multi emission activities in South Africa. The ambient pollution concentration depends on the various activities emanating from biogenic and anthropogenic. Anthropogenic activities are the man-made sources such as domestic fuel burning, industrial activities and transport emissions. The objective of this study is to investigate emissions sources and characterisation affecting Mamelodi Township using correlation, pollution roses and probability functions modelling. Investigations will focus on the following pollutants: Sulphur dioxide, Nitrogen dioxide, Ozone and Particulate Matter of less than ten micro diameter. K-Means clustering techniques have been applied to bivariate polar plot to identify and group similar features.The study uses pollution rose polar coordinates plots to provide a useful graphical technique which provides directional information on sources. Ambient concentration and wind direction together with wind speed can be highly effective in discriminating different emission sources affecting the ambient station. The results display strong positive correlation of Oxides of Nitrogen and Nitrogen dioxide. Nitrogen dioxide and nitric oxide sources have displayed positive moderate correlation of ambient concentrations. The problematic areas emission sources were discovered for ozone and particulate matter less than ten micro diameter per cubic meter on the North West of ambient monitoring station. The investigations of sources and characterisation by the application of ambient correlation parameters helped in discriminating of pollutions configuration behaviour at the receiving environment.

Abstract:

The Kadjebi district is predominantly made up of farming communities, hence, the major economic activities is crop production.. The extensive use of organochlorines, organophosphate and synthetic pyrethroids have raised concerns about potential adverse effect on human health and the environment. The study assessed the risk associated with the use of pesticide contaminated drinking water in the Kadjebi District of the Volta Region of Ghana. Hundred and nine (109) and twenty six (26) questionnaires were administered to farmers and agrochemical sellers respectively to assess awareness and knowledge about the use of the agrochemical. Thirty nine (39) water and sediments samples were collected. Extractions of samples were done and GC-MS techniques were used to analyze the samples. Risk assessment was done using United States Environmental Protection Agency’s Guidelines (USEPA, 1996). Results of the study revealed that about 92.6% of farmers used one or more pesticides. Of these numbers, 62% admitted not having access to services of the extension officers on the use and application of pesticides, 18% of the farmers reported positively to the use of protective gears to cover the whole body during pesticide application while 45% do not use any protective gear. 68% of the respondents reported clinical symptoms of pesticide poisoning such as nausea, headache, blurred vision, eye irritation, dizziness, vomiting and skin irritation. About 51% of water samples analyzed showed positive detections of pesticide residues while all sediments samples showed positive detections of pesticides residues varying from one to five different types of pesticides residues. The common pesticides residues found in the samples were Deltamethrine, Cyfluthrin, Cypermethrin, Dieldrin, Fenvaerate, Lambda-cyhal, p,p’ DDT. Synthetic pyrethroids (72%) were the dominant residues detected. Deltamethrine, Cyfluthrin, Cypermethrin, Dieldrin, Fenvaerate, were found in the sediments with concentration range of 0.001 mg/kg to 0.014 mg/kg. Deltamethrine, Cyfluthrin, Cypermethrin, Dieldrin and p,p’ DDT were detected in the surface water with concentration which varied from 0.001 μg/L to 0.007 μg/L. From the calculated hazard indices, there is no adverse health risk associated with the consumption of the water in both children and the adult. There should be advocacy and awareness creation on the safety and toxicity of pesticides and assessment of other consumable receptors of pesticides residues.

Abstract:

The use of crude oil and its derivatives to produced energy have contributed to Global warming and climate changes. Biofuels are produced by conversion of biomass to generate combustible fuels. First generation employ the traditional method to convert food-crops raw materials to generate biofuels in the form of biodiesel, bioethanol and biogas. First generation has so many disadvantages such as food insecurity. Second generation involves production of biofuels using non-food crops with high content of lignocellulose, residues or waste from industry, forestry and agriculture as the feedstocks. Abiotic stress is one of the disadvantages of second-generation biofuels which require enhanced technologies to live up to commercial scale. The third generation of biofuels involves the use of tiny microorganisms such as algae and bacteria. These organisms can be modified using gene editing tools such as CRISPR-Cas system to produced high quantity of biofuels with low GHG emission and low cost.

Abstract:

The increased availability of reliable and efficient energy services stimulates new development alternatives. This article discusses the potential for such integrated systems in the stationary and portable power market in response to the critical need for a cleaner energy technology. Throughout the theme several issues relating to renewable energies, environment, and sustainable development are examined from both current and future perspectives. It is concluded that green energies like wind, solar, groundsource heat pumps, and biomass must be promoted, implemented, and demonstrated from the economic and/or environmental point view. Biogas from biomass appears to have potential as an alternative energy source, which is potentially rich in biomass resources. This is an overview of some salient points and perspectives of biogas technology. The current literature is reviewed regarding the ecological, social, cultural and economic impacts of biogas technology. This article gives an overview of present and future use of biomass as an industrial feedstock for production of fuels, chemicals and other materials. However, to be truly competitive in an open market situation, higher value products are required. Results suggest that biogas technology must be encouraged, promoted, invested, implemented, and demonstrated, but especially in remote rural areas.

In particular, he has studied the production of many kinds of bio-fuels from waste materials using hydrothermal treatment and CO₂ extraction.  

Abstract:

Waste biomass are promising raw materials in 21st century because they are produced much and carbon neutral for use. Furthermore the proper treatment of them realizes the environment protection at the same time. We show two techniques to convert waste biomass to high-calory fuels using high pressure water or carbon dioxide.

(1) Production of powder fuel with hot water

Mixture of waste biomass and plastics is one of refractory wastes. Typical examples are municipal waste from houses and waste mixture from supermarkets and convenience stores. New technique was developed to convert the waste mixture to clean solid fuel with high heat of combustion. The waste mixture was treated in hot water at around 200 ^oC and 2 MPa for 30 min. We obtained the powder fuel with several mm in diameter. It had 25-30 MJ/kg in heat of combustion and no bad smell.  It could be dehydrated easily and stored for more than a year.

(2) Extraction of bio-oil with CO₂-expanded hexane

Expanded hexane with carbon dioxide (CO₂-expanded hexane) was used to extract bio-oil from agricultural wastes such as rice bran and the performance was compared with those of pure hexane, supercritical carbon dioxide and liquefied carbon dioxide. CO₂-expanded hexane had the maximum oil yield among them. Furthermore this extractant suppressed the phosphorus concentration in the extacted oil within 10 ppm, which causes the clogging of the fuel nozzle. As a result, CO₂-expanded hexane could extract more amount of bio-oil with low phosphorus concentration under mild extraction condition.

Abstract:

The levels of nineteen heavy metals have been determined in twelve soil and six vegetable samples [each for Telfairia ocidentalis (TC) and Vernonia amygdalina (VA)] at Gemade Estate using Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectrometry (EDXRF). Three identical samples in a different area were also collected and analyzed using the same procedure as control. The levels (mg/kg) were in the order Fe > Ti > Ca >  Mn > K> V> Cr > Co> Ni > Zn > Sc > Y > Se > Ga > Sr > Rb > B r> As  in soil samples. The concentration of the heavy metals in the vegetables, TC and VA ranged from 1.111 to 14.010 and 0.475 to 29520 mg/kg respectively with their values higher than the WHO/FEPA permissible limits and similar studies. The results indicated that no strong significant correlation and difference exists  (r = 0.552: p<0.05, t_v = 0.429) between the levels of the heavy metals and control but samples from the oil spillage areas were slightly enriched in Ca, Cr, Ti, V, Fe, As (with Enrichment factors, EF = 1.00 – 1.437 ) and  Br, Co, Mn, Ti (EF = 1.00 - 2.16) for soil and plants respectively. The results obtained gave the baseline concentration of these heavy metals in the samples and indicated contamination which could be of serious health concern to residents of such an environment.
