Black Carbon and total carbon measurements at urban and rural sites in Kenya, East Africa.
(2003)There have been very few studies in Kenya on aerosols despite the global demand on aerosol ground studies in the perspective of climate and the human well being. Therefore, atmospheric aerosol studies became the basis of ... -
Trace Element categorization of pollution sources in the Equator town of Nanyuki, Kenya
(2005)An air pollution campaign was carried out in the town of Nanyuki at four different sites during July and August 1999. Nanyuki is situated on the equator on the northwestern slope of Mount Kenya at about 1930 m above sea ... -

Assessment of criteria pollutants and NO in a typical urban aerosol in Africa.
(2007)Criteria pollutants have health implications that are not only of concern to the urban population but also to governments in formulating their policies. These pollutants are also important to climate change investigations ... -
Characterization of aerosol particles at an industrial background site in Nairobi, Kenya.
(2008)Air pollutants from industrial sources contain harmful elements and chemical compounds. This work presents a study on background industrial and urban aerosol particles in the city of Nairobi. Its main focus was the ... -
Design and Development of an Energy-Dispersive X-ray Spectrometer:
(2008)Contribution of scientific research to local and international journals from Africa and indeed Kenya is weak in comparison to other regions. One of the main problems is the non-availability of reliable and affordable ... -
Microbial Quality of Ready-to-Drink Juice brands sold in the Kenyan Market
(2005)Preservation of the juice is achieved mainly through canning, freezing or addition of microbial inhibitors, which include ascorbic acid, benzoic acid or their salts. In addition to the juice or their concentrates, acids, ... -
Radiactivity and dose assessment of limestone samples from Kitui South Limestone Deposits-Kenya
(2010)Activity concentrations of 226Ra, 232Th and 40K of limestone samples collected from Kitui South have been measured using Hyper Pure Germanium (HPGe) detector gamma ray spectrometry. A total of 48 samples were collected ... -
Radiometric Characteristics of Artisanal Coltan Ore Extraction and Processing in Rwanda
(2010)The use of products containing naturally occurring radioactive materials (NORM) such as minerals, quarry, sand, clays, etc is widespread in Rwanda, but they are not subject to radiological quality control. This paper ... -
Geostatistical Modelling of a High Background Radiation Area Geothermal Field Matrix Trace Elements:
(1998)Estimating spatial variability of trace geothermal signatures is an important factor is evaluating the geothermal field potential. It is expected that a particular geothermal feature (hot spring, fumarole, geyser, etc.) ... -
Urban Farming along Nairobi River:
(2005)Nairobi River originates from a swamp near Kikuyu town, about 24 kilometres west of Nairobi city centre and meanders across the city covering a stretch of about 30 kilometres. Within the city area, the river is contaminated ... -
Equipment Maintenance -
(2003)In this paper, equipment maintenance is defined as an art, a practical enterprise. The paper will not deal with the important and supportive policy framework on equipment maintenance, rather the actual exercise. The ... -
