Such reactions may be attributed to ignorance, hearsay or actual knowledge of the harmful effects associated with these forms of radiation. To ascertain the true position a Radiation Safety Awareness survey was conducted among patients who receive X-ray irradiation at three Hospitals in Port Harcourt, Rivers State. The study employed the use of a carefully thought-out questionnaire administered to one hundred and fifty (150) patients and radiographers at the selected hospitals. Seventy-five of eighty (93.8%) of the radiographers, and sixty of seventy (85.7%) of patients responded. Of these 44 (58.7%) of the radiographers reported that they were aware of the dangers of ionizing radiation, while 52 (86.7%) of the patients expressed ignorance. We have shown that the patients’ awareness of the dangers of ionizing radiation is very poor while level awareness by the radiographers is unacceptable. In conclusion, concerted effort is to be made by all concerned for a successful healthcare delivery.","PeriodicalId":7661,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Scientific and Industrial Research","volume":"20 1","pages":"83-88"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84914557","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Lead contamination from a variety of industrial sources pose a significant environmental threat to receiving waters and its presence causes contagion of plants and then through nutritional chain it affects the health of humans and animals. The present study undertakes the efficiency of natural bentonites taken from various areas of Pakistan for removal of lead from wastewater. The batch adsorption study was applied to remove this toxic metal. The quantities of lead metal before and after the treatment of standard solutions with different samples of bentonite were determined by atomic absorption spectroscopic method. The studies were carried out at room temperature, pH 7 and -200 mesh particle size using 50ml of metal solutions. The time taken to maintain equilibrium was one hour. Then percentage adsorption was calculated for different bentonite samples.","PeriodicalId":7661,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Scientific and Industrial Research","volume":"35 1","pages":"387-389"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88676976","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Plantain ash solution (PAS) of different concentrations was used as solution for stripping the films and as extractant for the photographic solutions. Products obtained were analysed for silver content. The concentration of silver was measured using UV-visible spectrophotometer at a wavelength of 380nm, path length 1cm using silver nitrate for calibration. Results obtained revealed that plantain ash solution extracted silver from the various wastes in all the concentrations of PAS used. However the silver content was observed to be highest in the photographic film and fixer solution and lowest for stabilizer solution in the particular instance. In all the photographic wastes studied, it was observed that although more products were recovered by using higher concentrations of PAS, higher concentrations of silver ions were obtained when lower concentrations of PAS were used (0.1500 -0.8450M ). Therefore lower concentrations of PAS can be used for leaching of photographic wastes of silver.","PeriodicalId":7661,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Scientific and Industrial Research","volume":"150 ","pages":"390-394"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91449804","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The research work understudies the weight vis-a-vis cost of production of available commercial sandcrete blocks in Lagos metropolis. It has been observed that prices of construction blocks were typically above the reach of many Nigerians. Production of sandcrete blocks were made by partial replacement of sand with a varying proportion (10%, 20%, 30% and 40%) of sawdust. The strength of each block was determined to ascertain conformity with the minimum acceptable standards. Equally, the weights were checked and compared with blocks devoid of sawdust. The tests were carried out on the 7, 14, 21 and 28 days after production. From data gathered, recommendations were given which will be beneficial to the construction industry and general populace in respect of low cost and light weight sandcrete blocks. It is concluded that if the recommendations herein should be followed, problems of cost and weight in building construction shall be reduced.","PeriodicalId":7661,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Scientific and Industrial Research","volume":"68 1","pages":"458-463"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81683077","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
