Physicochemical interaction with faecal bacteria in characterisation of beach water quality, Gulf of Guinea, Ghana

Autor: Lailah Gifty Akita, Juegen Laudien, Charles Biney, M. O. Akrong

Human activities such as industrial and agricultural waste discharges directly in the coastal areas increasingly contribute to pollution in coastal waters of Western Africa. The study employed physicochemical and faecal analysis to understand water p

Publikováno v: Journal of Paleolimnology. 58:191-211

Stable isotopes and trace elements in ostracod shells have been used widely in paleolimnological investigations of past lake hydrochemistry and climate because they provide insights into past water balance and solute evolution of lakes. Regional diff
