Effect of Short-term Exposure of Agrochemical Constituents (Nitrate, Nitrite, Phosphate and Potassium) on Survival of Fingerlings of Guppy Fish, Poecilia reticulata
Abstract: Increased use of agrochemicals enhances eutrophication and thereby inducing hypoxic condition which adversely affects aquatic flora and fauna. Present study was aimed to investigate the effects of short-term exposure of different concentration of nitrate (NO3), nitrite (NO2), phosphate (PO4) and potassium (K) on survival of Guppy fish, Poecilia reticulata. Fingerlings of Poecilia reticulata were exposed to increasing concentration (1, 10, 100, 1,000 and 10,000 mg/L) of NO3, NO2, PO4 andK …

Evaluation of Heavy Metal Bioaccumulation by Phytoplankton and Water, Sombriero River, Port Harcourt
Abstract: The heavy metal bioaccumulation by phytoplankton and water in Sombriero River, Port Harcourt was determined. Heavy metals and phytoplankton samples were collected from four different locations using plastic bottles and plankton net of 55um mesh size between February and April,2020. Plankton and water samples collected from the locations were analyzed for phytoplankton and concentration of the five heavy metals, iron (Fe), copper (Cu), cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb) and chromium (Cr) …

Green Chemistry to Improve Our Lives
Abstract: One of the most fundamental and effective tools to use on the road to sustainability is green chemistry. The US Presidential Green Chemistry Challenge was introduced in 1995. In 1996, the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry established the working party on green chemistry. Following that, regular scientific conferences began to be held. In 1990, the Royal Society of Chemistry sponsored Journal of Clean Processes and Green Chemistry, the …
