Abstract Soil samples were collected from three asphalt hot mix stations and examined for heavy metals using standard procedures. The results obtained showed that the concentrations of the heavy metals occurred in the order; iron (Fe)>zinc (Zn)>chromium (Cr)>lead (Pb)>copper (Cu)>nickel (Ni)>arsenic (As)>cobalt (Co)> cadmium (Cd). All the metals examined in the soil were lower than […]

Abstract Sediment samples were obtained from points where drainage of effluents were discharge into the New Calabar River. The samples were collected for a period of four months and analyzed for heavy metals using atomic absorption spectrophotometer (AAS). The heavy metals examined were iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), nickel (Ni), chromium (Cr) […]

Abstract The increased consumption of soymilk due to its low cost has led to its small-scale production under household conditions with little or no regards to quality control measures. Soymilk, though a nutritive beverage serves as a good substrate for the proliferation of microorganisms; therefore, the consumption of locally-produced soymilk, packaged in unsterile plastic containers […]

Abstract In this study, it was examined the microbiological properties to Oncorhynchus mykiss fillets of spearmint essential oils during storage 4±1°C. So as to create all samples was applied 1% spearmint oil to fillets of rainbow trout. During the storage at 4 ± 1 ° C of fillets in the study were made every three […]
