INTRODUCTION Radiations are energy in the form of waves or particles. They are of two forms‚ ionizing radiations and non-ionizing radiations. Ionizing radiations are radiations of short wavelength and high energy which causes atoms to ionize. Examples of ionizing radiations includes: x-rays‚ gamma rays‚ ultra violet radiation. Non-ionizing radiations are radiations of long wavelengths and low energy. Examples of non ionizing radiations includes infra-red rays and visible lights e.t.c Effects of ionizing

The effect of nutrient concentration on duckweed growth Gina Neonakis Biology 203L:11 Biology 203:10 November 14‚ 2011 Abstract Lemna minor‚ or duckweed‚ is a small plant that floats on the surface of stagnant water that is usually rich in nutrients. Phosphorus is an important macronutrient in the growth of aquatic plants. We tested the effect of phosphorus on duckweed population growth using a control medium rich in nutrients and compared it to the population growth in a medium that lacked

Many of these effluents contain high level of toxic pollutants such heavy metals which are mainly produced by anthropogenic activities such as smelting‚ battery and steel manufacturing‚ mining‚ and metal processing (Verma and Dwivedi‚ 2013). The pollution caused by the release of these heavy metals into

Structure Coir fibres are found between the hard‚ internal shell and the outer coat of a coconut. The individual fibre cells are narrow and hollow‚ with thick walls made of cellulose. They are pale when immature but later become hardened and yellowed as a layer of lignin is deposited on their walls. There are two varieties of coir. Brown coir is harvested from fully ripened coconuts. It is thick‚ strong and has high abrasion resistance. It is typically used in mats‚ brushes and sacking. Mature brown
