Estimation of Aquifer Parameter of Pabna District, Bangladesh
Published In: GJSFR Part: H: Environment & Environmental geology Volume: 13 Issue: 4 The amount of groundwater in any area depends on the characters of the underlying aquifer, its extent and the frequency of discharge. Quantitative hydro-geological studies of aquifer parameters are important pre-requisites for scientific management of groundwater resources. Lithological data can be used as an important source for hydro-geological investigation. In this work, the litholog...
Assessment of Respiratory Health Impact of Fuel-Wood Utilization on Exposed Rural Women in Odeda, Southwestern, Nigeria.
Published In: GJSFR Part: H: Environment & Environmental geology Volume: 13 Issue: 4 This study monitored the concentration of seven air pollutants and examined the concentration of Carbon monoxide (CO) and Carboxylhaemoglobin (COHb) in human breath and blood among the exposed rural women. A total of 12 villages were purposively selected from the list of villages in Odeda Local government area, (Southwestern Nigeria). Active air samplers were used to monitor air quality ...
