Contaminant Fate and Human Exposure to Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals In Selected Contaminated Soils in Ghana

Ason, Benjamin (University of Cape Coast, 2022-12)

The study was based on quantitative methods. The quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged, and safe (QuEChERS) analytical method was used for the extraction and cleanup to quantify endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) ...
Assessment of the Levels and Distribution of Polychlorina Ted Biphenyls in Soils in the Vicinity of Electric Transformers in the Central Region of Ghana

Bentum, John Kwesi (University of Cape Coast, 2012-06)

Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in surface soil samples from the Central Region of Ghana were analyzed to assess their distribution, levels and health effects. The soil characteristics were analyzed. Soils samples were ...
Hydrochemistry of the Ayensu River Basin in the Central Region of Ghana

Avi, Christian Kwadzo (University of Cape Coast, 2016-09)

The focus of this work was to use the hydrochemical and isotopic composition of groundwater and surface water resources to establish the hydrochemistry, recharge mechanism, and interrelationship between surface and ...
Studies of Technically Enhanced Naturally Occurring Radionuclides and Trace Metals From Oil and Gas Activities in Some Communities Along the Tano Basin of Ghana

DOYI, ISRAEL (2016-11)

ABSTRACT The objective of this study is to determine the background data for the levels of gamma radiation in soil, groundwater sources and food in the communities along the Tano Basin, an oil field in Ghana. The mean ...
Supramolecular Studies into the Co-Crystallization of Ferron with Sulphamethoxazole and Carbazole

Quashie, Andrews Selom (University of Cape Coast, 2017-02)

The mechano-synthesis methods of mixing, grinding and kneading were used to co-crystallize Ferron with Sulphamethoxazole and Ferron with Carbazole. Samples are prepared by mixing with a spatula, grinding for 10, 20 and ...
Development of a New Ultra High Performance Liquid Chromatographic Method with Fluorescence and Dad Detection for Efficient Separation and Analysis of Antiparasitic (Antibiotics, Pesticides, Antioxidants) Agents in Fish

Antwi-Adjei, Roberta (University of Cape Coast, 2020-10)

The use of antiparasitic agents in aquaculture is of a major concern due to its adverse effect on human health. This research developed and validated a new rapid Ultra High Performance Liquid Chromatography (UHPLC) method ...
Indoor Air Pollution Monitoring for Urinary Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons, Phenols, Phthalates and Some Metabolites of Fish Smokers from Three Coastal Regions of Ghana

Kusi, Charity (University of Cape Coast, 2020-07)

Exposure to biomass combustion has been linked to increased risk for a suite of negative health outcomes such as acute and chronic respiratory diseases. The objective of this study was to assess the levels and risk of ...
“The contribution soil heavy metals pollution to the cause of destruction of the coconut palm in some selected areas of the Central Region of Ghana”: (A case study in Ajumako-Enyan Essiam to Bobikuma).

Kumi-Arhin, Eugene (University of Cape Coast, 2021-01)

Contaminations of soil by heavy metals are extremely threatening to both plant and animal lives. This study looked at the levels of heavy metals in the soils and stems of the coconut plantation farms from ...
Chemical modification of the biologically active compound, thymol

Addo, Justice Kwaku (University of Cape Coast, 2017-07)

The study was earned to chemically modify a biologically active compound thymol, on the hydroxyl (-OH) functional group into its ester, ether and triazole derivatives. A generalised esterification and etherification reactions ...
Assessment of heavy metals and metalloid in soils, sediments and water from pristine and major mining areas in Ghana- data to aid geochemical baseline setting.

Hadzi, George Yaw (University of Cape Coast, 2017-10)

The distribution, risks and geochemical baseline analysis of the heavy metals in soils, sediments and water in pristine and major mining areas in Ghana were investigated. The surface soils, sediment and water were pulverized, ...
Investigation into iodine deficiency of selected populations within cape coast metropolis and Agona west municipality in the central region of Ghana – analysis of iodised edible salts and urine.

Bartels, Benjamin (University of Cape Coast, 2019-03)

The iodine status of staff and pupils of Hillcrest Schools, undergraduates of UCC, 2016/2017 academic year and a household in Agona Swedru were determined using Titration Method, Sandell-Kolthoff Method and a Novel Method. ...
Antioxidant and wound healing properties of some selected plants from kpando traditional area: Isolation of flavonoids from Anogeissus Leiocarpus (dc) Guill and Perr (combretaceae)

Barku, Victor Yao Atsu (University of Cape Coast, 2015-07)

Twenty-six wound healing plants have been identified in the Kpando Traditional Area in Ghana. The methanol extracts of six of these plants showed some level of antimicrobial activity against wound causing infectious ...
