DDT in indoor residual spraying
DDT is the common name for a man-made pesticide chemical which does not exist naturally in the environment. Outside the laboratory, there is no such thing as a ‘pure’ DDT exposure or internal dose

Nutrient alterations in Nile perch ( Lates niloticus ) skins owing to various processing and cooking techniques
Nile perch (Lates niloticus) skin is a major substitute for whole fish especially among low-income groups who are especially vulnerable to protein and micronutrient deficiencies. The object of this study was to determine the extent of nutrient alterations that occur in Nile perch skins when subjected to various processing and cooking techniques. Whereas the study showed that Nile perch skins are rich sources of zinc, iron, calcium and lipids, the…

Variations in leaching of aluminium into human food from different types of African cookware
Aluminium ingestion through cooked food has been blamed for several human diseases. Ordinary people in sub-Saharan Africa are not mindful of the containers their food is prepared in. A comparative kinetic study, therefore, of aluminium leaching from different types of cookware traditionally used in most homesteads on the African continent has been carried out, using a spectrophotometric technique. The cookware investigated included new and old fa…

Contamination by heavy metals in silver fish ( Rastreneobola argentea ) caught from Lakes Kyoga and Victoria, Uganda
Little information exists on heavy metal contamination in silver fish (Rastreneobola argentea) caught from Lake Victoria. A large number of Ugandans consume the species. Sun‐dried silver fish were collected from 10 landing sites on Lake Victoria, and from five control sites along Lake Kyoga. The finely ground fish was digested with analytical reagent grade nitric acid. Analyses were performed by atomic absorption spectrophotometry. The specimens …
Heavy metal contamination in vegetables cultivated on a major urban wetland inlet drainage system of Lake Victoria, Uganda
The population of the Ugandan capital, Kampala, located close to Lake Victoria, appears to be exposed to risk of ingesting the heavy metals Cadmium (Cd) and Lead (Pb) through vegetables in their diet. Lake Victoria is responsible for frequent torrential polluted runoffs in the city. The Nakivubo channel, the city’s major wetland drainage system, empties directly into the lake. Vegetables are grown on the urban wetland soils. Heavy metal content i…
Nitrification in modified sewerage stabilisation ponds prior to discharge into the Ugandan side of Lake Victoria
Large volumes of wastewater in the Ugandan capital Kampala have seriously polluted Lake Victoria, from which the city draws its freshwater. Untreated effluent drains directly into this lake. In tropical temperatures, oxidation ponds are used for wastewater treatment, especially for organic matter. This technology should be the focus of work to improve its efficacy, and thus to secure the sustainability of the lake and its freshwater fish which ar…
