Environmental education necessarily involves the willingness to take personal initiative and social participation to achieve sustainability. This study determined the respondents’ environmental awareness, perception of environmental issues and concerns, and environmental attitude. It followed a descriptive-comparative research design with volunteers from randomly selected faculty, staff, and students. The instrument of this study consists of a questionnaire using a four-point Likert – type respo...

This article uses ethnographic and case study approaches to unveil the distinct culture characterizing the management of liquid and solid waste in urban areas of Tanzania. The article shows that the slow accumulation nature of liquid waste such as fecal sludge makes it a less immediate nuisance to residents compared to solid waste, and the general public tends to perceive the management of liquid waste as a responsibility of individual dwelling owners hence a private good rather than public good...

Telfairia pedata (Sims) Hook is an important native climber plant commonly grown in East Africa. It bears nuts which are eaten either raw or cooked and is consumed mostly by expectant mothers, and as cooking oil. The survey was conducted between September 2019 to February 2020 in Sambaa, Meru, and Pare communities of Lushoto, Bumbuli, Arumeru and Same Districts, Northern Tanzania to assess the ethnobotany of T. pedata from a sample of 346 respondents using semi-structured questionnaires. Results...

This study aimed to investigate characteristics of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in Changdang Lake, China during March (dry season), June (wet season) and September (Moderate Season). The average concentration of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in March averaged 100.08ng /L (35.31~200.38ng/L), June 154.72ng/L (100.80~218.74ng/L), and in September 93.77ng/L (66.75~106.41ng/L). Among them, the residual benzo(a)pyrene was 5.90ng/L in water. By applying the redundancy analysis, results showed hi...

Fly ash (FA) and rice husk ash (RHA) are agro-industrial wastes generated continually thereby requiring sustainable and environment-friendly ways in the treatment process. This study aimed at assessing the suitability of FA and RHA from Misamis Oriental, Philippines in producing bricks that can possibly be used for pedestrian and light traffic purposes. Quantitative experimental method was used in the study. Bricks were manufactured utilizing 40 to 95% Class F-type FA, 0 to 55% Class F-type RHA,...

Urbanization is increasing rapidly in all parts of the world to accommodate the increasing human population but it is having a drastic effect on native flora and fauna. The present study was carried out across a three stage urbanization gradient in and around the city of Bilaspur, Chhattisgarh. Observations were made from September 2019 to February 2021 at the selected three sites during COVID 19 pandemic. Point count method was used for bird surveys and Sound pressure (Noise) measurements were ...

Global interest in solar power has reached new highest with continues efforts by governments and organizations to establish a stance against fossil fuel dependence and the high percentage of carbon dioxide emitted by the industrialized world. Employing renewable energy technologies like solar power seems to be a good viable option, especially for third world countries which happens to receive huge amounts of solar radiation around the year. This paper presents study and design a common PV system...

Sulfur compounds such as sulfur oxides (SOx) are generated and emitted from operations in the petroleum industry which have negative effects on the environment. This study gives a critical and detailed introduction to the control and treatment of sulfur compounds specially sulfur oxides (SOx) emissions from the petroleum industry. It begins with the sectors, main sources, and type of operations that generate SOx emissions; maximum effluent level of them from the petroleum industry; minimization,...

The deleterious impacts of dumpsite activities and the associated risk on both the environment and human is consequential, hence this study assessed groundwater vulnerability to pollution from dumpsite using a modified DRASTIC model. Six hydrogeological factors: D- Depth to water, R- Net Recharge, A- Aquifer media, L- Distance of well to dumpsite, T- Topography, and C- Clay content were used in the modification (DRALTC) based on peculiarity of the study area. Cluster analysis of groundwater...

Mathematical model was developed to demonstrates the predominantly reaction controlled region and diffusion limited region for ？p > 3 with high or large diffusion in this case, but when ？p = 0.3 the chemical reaction and diffusion onset occurred. The model developed illustrates the relationship between K* and N/Nmax for various incremental steps of K2 L. The result obtained reveals that increase in K3C* resulted to an increase in N/ Nmax until an optimum value of N/Nmax was achieved after then t...
