ABSTRACT The study on the physicochemical parameters of borehole water collected close and far away from soakway was carried out using standard analytical methods. The result of the study revealed that the values obtained were higher in the water sample obtained close to soakaway than the sample collected far away from soakaway. Although some of the parameters in the sample were within the WHO permissible limit, such as electrical conductivity, pH,  appearance and TSS. Others exceeded the WHO permissible limit,…

ABSTRACT In traditional systems of medicine, different parts of Ocimum have been recommended for the treatment of bronchitis, malaria, diarrhea, dysentery, skin diseases and insect bite. Epidermal characters play a vital role in plant identification and classification. In present study, comparative epidermal evaluation was performed for the flesh leaves of selected species of Ocimum such as O. gratissimum and O. sanctum. The result from microscopal characters is used for the identification of O. gratissimum and O. sanctum. The result s…

ABSTRACT The study on comparative heavy metal analysis of waterleaf (Talinum triangulare) cultivated with inorganic and organic fertilizer was carried out using standard analytical methods. The result of the study revealed that waterleaf samples cultivated with inorganic fertilizer had higher concentration of Pb, Cd, and Cr that were above the that of sample cultivated with organic fertilizer, control and the WHO permissible limit. However, sample TOF and the control had heavy metal concentration that were below the WHO permissible limit….

ABSTRACT The aim of this study was the comparative analysis of heavy metal in cowskin Singed with Tyre and Firewood in Abattoirs. The result revealed the following: The cowskin Singed with firewood Pb (0.10±1.245), Cd (1.035±0.002), Cr (1.573±0.002), Cu (4.525 ±2.131), Zn (2.345±0.44). Cowskin roasted with Tyre had the following Pb (2.006±0.009), Cd (0.967±0.003), Cr (1.603 ± 0.001), Cu (3.859±0.008), Zn (2.98±0.011). From this study it is more preferable to singed cowskin with firewood than tyre as it had less…
