PETROLEUM CONTAMINATION OF SOMBREIRO RIVER IN AKUKU-TORU LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREA RIVERS STATE, NIGERIA, REVEALED BY CHEMICAL FINGERPRINTING OF ALIPHATIC HYDROCARBONS

Water samples were collected from the lower section of Sombreiro River in Akuku Toru local government area (L.G.A.) of Rivers State, Nigeria and analyzed for aliphatic hydrocarbons using gas chromatographyflame ionization detector (GC-FID) after Ribbon extraction and clean up.GC identified well resolved aliphatic hydrocarbons from C9 to C40 which s

IntroductionPesticides pose a risk for cancer development and progression.People are continuously exposed to such substances by several routes, including daily intake of contaminated food and water, especially in countries that are highly pesticide consumers and have very permissive legislation about pesticide contamination as Brazil.This work inve

In the field of energy production, cogeneration systems based on micro gas turbine cycles appear particularly suitable to reach the goals of improving efficiency and reducing pollutants.Moderate and Intense Low-Oxygen Dilution (MILD) combustion represents a promising technology to increase efficiency and to further reduce the emissions of those sys

In the pragma-dialectical approach fallacies are defined as violations of rules for critical discussion which manifest themselves in derailments of strategic manoeuvring.These may easily escape attention because they can be very similar to sound instances of strategic manoeuvring.Strategic manoeuvring only derails into fallaciousness if it goes aga

Abstract Background Point-of-care ultrasound (PoCUS) is spreading throughout Emergency Medicine, Critical Care and Pre-hospital Care.However, there is an underlying inherited conflict with the established specialties performing comprehensive examinations.It has WOMENS HATS been stated that PoCUS is disruptive innovation.If this is true the definiti
