Food safety in Sub-Saharan Africa is increasingly compromised by invisible chemical contaminants in wild-sourced proteins, often referred to as bushmeat. This study provides a novel integration of toxicological risk assessment and socio-behavioral modeling by analyzing 60 consumers and meat samples of the Greater Cane Rat (Thryonomys swinderianus) across Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria. Chemi...

Hazardous wastes are produced by the production of textile dyes and different industrial products. It is frequently discovered that the waste produced during the dyes' manufacturing and operation contains both organic and inorganic contaminants such as micro plastic, endangering ecosystems and biodiversity. These contaminates having an adverse effect on the environment. The current review aims ...

Climate change is increasingly recognized as a driver of zoonotic disease emergence, reshaping ecological interactions and amplifying risks to human and animal health. Rising temperatures, altered precipitation patterns, and extreme weather events accelerate vector breeding cycles, disrupt habitats, and intensify human-animal contact, thereby expanding opportunities for pathogen spillover. This...

A Radiometric mapping and analysis of Radiation Health Risk Parameters of Imo North Senatorial District, Nigeria (situated between 7°4′48″ E and 7°25′48″ E, and 5°30′36″ N and 5°56′24″ N) was carried out through the use of two well Calibrated nuclear radiation meters, Radalert 100 and Digilert 200 and a GPS device, to measure the background Ionizing radiation exposure rate. Golden Software Surf...
