Polythene bags have been preferred for packaging purposes because they are light in weight,  cheap and resistant to degradation. Despite the benefits, poor disposal of polythene causes  degradation of soil, water, land and air resources leading to health problems . Burning  polythene releases Greenhouse gases mainly Carbon dioxide, associated... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT Changes in precipitation characteristics have been identified to exert profound socio-economic consequences over West Africa. This study analysed climate model simulation and projections of precipitation changes over West Africa using the Norwegian Earth System Model (NorESM with Lat-Lon resolution of 1.89° by 2.5°). The skill of the... Continue Reading

Executive Summary Offshore drilling for oil and natural gas have been ongoing since the 1800’s but little emphasis has been placed on the fate of drilling waste acquired during the drilling process. There are three main categories of waste that represent a potential concern based on current disposal practices.  These waste categories are... Continue Reading

Abstract Road accidents are a common cause of disability and also a leading cause of death all over the world.
