For this purpose thirty (30) samples were collected from six different communities (Imiringi, Ogbia, Onuebum, Elebele, Swali, and Otuoke). These water samples were collected from an underground borehole. Atomic absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS) was used to determine dissolved analytes in aqueous samples after suitable filtration and evaporation prior to the analysis, the water samples were pre-concentrated and the residue dissolved in 0.1mHNO3. The analytes measured include iodine and magnesium. The highest concentration of iodine was detected in Swali, while the highest concentration of magnesium is detected in Onuebum. The concentration of iodine was found to be higher than the WHO in all the communities, while magnesium in most of the community like Elebele was found to be at the permissible limit. It was therefore concluded that proper water treatment procedure which will reduce the elements above safe limits should be embarked on which will reduce the accumulation of these nutrients in both humans and animals. ...Preview Download Preview +Other Biochemistry project topics and materials you might be interested in»Phytochemical and nutritive composition of fluted pumpkin»Determination of ascorbic acid in selected fruits mango, orange and pineapple using spectro-photometric method»Comparative evaluation of heavy metal loads in some selected soft drinks in Owerri, Imo state»Antilipidemic effect of water (H2O) extract of desmodium velutinum leaves on albino Wistar rats»The effect of water extract of cola nitida pod on lipoprotein concentrations of albino Wistar rats»Preliminary investigation on effects of burantashi extract on lipoproteins of albino male and female whistar rats»The extraction of manganese (iv) ion from aqueous media using 1-phethyl-3-methyl pyrazolone-5»Nutritive value, anti-nutrient and mineral composition of cashew nut (Anacardium Occidentale)»Evaluation of the immunomodulatory effect of oral administration of the methanol extract of gongronema latifolium (utazi) in wistar albino rats»Comparative study on the free radical scavenging potential of turmeric and beetroot»Phytochemicals and minerals analysis of rosary pea (Abrus Precatorious leaves)»Determination of total petroleum hydrocarbons in Niger river»Qualitative phytochemical and gas chromatography mass spectrometry GCMS of Nhexane extracted leaves of sabicea calycina»Hydrogen peroxide scavenging activities and reducing power of various fruits juice in Yenagoa»Charges in the concentration of nitric oxide in the serum gills brain liver and kidney of clarias gariepinus exposed to glyphosatebased herbicide
