Major environmental problems in metallic mining areas come from the hazard of metal pollution of surrounding areas. Therefore, an appropriated management of these soils is necessary for minimizing the associated risks. Some properties of mining soils, such as elevated metal concentrations, pH and...

A pioneer effort is made in this study to carry out an experimental determination of shrinkage characteristics of neem (Azadirachta indica A. Juss) wood on its linear, volumetric, and coefficient values with the hope of ascertaining its utilization potential as timber. Three study locations were...

Peroxides collected in rainwater readily decompose in the natural matrix, consequently it is hard to estimate their values present during precipitation events. For this reason, only few data concerning the concentration of aqueous H2O2 in dew, cloud and rainwater are available. Therefore, it is...
