    Abstract: Solid waste characterisation study was carried in Dar-es-Salaam to quantify the waste generation rates and composition. By studying solid waste generation trends for three socioeconomic statuses, it was found that the solid pa capita generation rate decreases with decreasing socioeconomic status. Solid waste compositions also exhibited variations d... Show More

    Abstract: The mobility of Pb binding in mine-affected soils to aqueous environments was studied using a combination of chemical and mineralogical methods. Leaching test was supplemented by mineralogical investigation of both soil samples and Pb mineral fractions using X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The level of Pb de... Show More
