Heavy Metals in Epiphytic lichens and Mosses of Oil–Producing Communities of Eket and Ibeno, Akwa Ibom State – Nigeria Aniefiok E. Ite, Uwem U. Ubong, Usoro M. Etesin, Edet W. Nsi, Emmanuel J. Ukpong, Akanimo N. Ekanem, Usenobong F. Ufot, Anietimfon I. Udo American Journal of Environmental Protection. 2016 4 (2). doi: 10.12691/env-4-2-1 Keywords: heavy metals, lichen, moss, atomic absorption spectrometry, Oil–producing communities Context: ...s. Some of the target heavy metals such as Cd, Cr, Mn, Ni and Zn were accumulated at higher concentrations in mosses compared to lichens from the same sampling location. There is some evidence that different site–specific characteristics affect the spatial distributions... Abstract Full Text (PDF) [Epub] Full Text (HTML)

Theoretical Characteristics of Deactivated lichens Fixed Bed Column for the Crystal Violet and Methyl Red Dyes Adsorption Kouassi Kouadio Dobi-Brice, Ekou Lynda, Yacouba Zoungranan, Ekou Tchirioua American Journal of Water Resources. 2020 8 (2). doi: 10.12691/ajwr-8-2-3 Keywords: wastewater, adsorption, column, lichens , models, dyes Context: ...es were used: crystal violet and methyl red. The adsorbent fixed bed of the column consists of biomass of previously deactivated lichens . The influence of some physico-chemical parameters on the column such as flow rate, lichen grain size, adsorbent bed mass and ... Abstract Full Text (PDF) [Epub] Full Text (HTML)

Distribution of Some Atmospheric Heavy Metals in Lichen and Moss Samples Collected from Eket and Ibeno Local Government Areas of Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria Aniefiok E. Ite, Imaobong I. Udousoro, Udo J. Ibok American Journal of Environmental Protection. 2014 2 (1). doi: 10.12691/env-2-1-5 Keywords: atmospheric deposition, heavy metals, lichen, moss, atomic absorption spectrometry, akwa ibom state, nigeria Context: ...ed for potential identification of areas at risk from atmospheric heavy metals contamination in the region. The use of epiphytic lichens and mosses provides a cost–effective approach for monitoring regional atmospheric heavy metal contamination and may be effectively us...

Effect of Metal Cations Pb2+, Cu2+, Zn2+, Mg2+ and Fe2+ on Some Physiological Parameters of Lichen Parmotrema dilatatum Yacouba Zoungranan, Ekou Lynda, Ekou Tchirioua, Dadié Gabriel Bieri American Journal of Environmental Protection. 2019 7 (1). doi: 10.12691/env-7-1-5 Keywords: lichens, atmospheric pollution, Parmotrema dilatatum, bioaccumulation, metal trace elements Context: ...umulate the air pollutants including trace metal elements. However, the bioaccumulation of trace metal elements in the thalli of lichens has considerable consequences on their physiology. Indeed, trace metal elements have the ability to induce the production of reactive... Abstract Full Text (PDF) [Epub] Full Text (HTML)
