The majority affected were male farmers. The severity of the disease was inversely associated with BMI values and had a higher prevalence of smoking and alcohol consumption. In addition, those who consume water from household dug wells had significantly lower eGFR (p < 0.0001). A linear regression analysis revealed a significant positive association between lower eGFR and lower BMI (p < 0.001). We hypothesised that the low BMI in those with CKDu may have increased susceptibility to develop CKDu, in the presence of exposure to multiple nephrotoxins and adverse conditions.]]> Wed 07 Apr 2021 20:21:25 AEST ]]> Characteristics and applications of biochar for remediating Cr(VI)-contaminated soils and wastewater https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:38234 Tue 17 Aug 2021 08:42:53 AEST ]]> Pre-emergence herbicides widely used in urban and farmland soils: fate, and potential human and environmental health risks https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:55146 Tue 16 Apr 2024 15:15:23 AEST ]]> Harnessing fertilizer potential of human urine in a mesocosm system: a novel test case for linking the loop between sanitation and aquaculture https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:34129 −1), mixed treatment with CM and HU under (d) iso-phosphorus and (e) iso-nitrogenous condition and (f) control. Monitoring of water quality and biological parameters revealed that total fish yield was the highest in CM (621.5 g tank−1) followed by mixed treatments under iso-nitrogenous (428 g tank−1) and iso-phosphorus (333 g tank−1) conditions, aerated HU (321 g tank−1) and HU (319 g tank−1). The gross primary productivity (GPP) in HU was satisfactory (601.8 mg C m−2 h−1) and superior to all but CM treatment. The abundance of heterotrophic bacteria (HB) was highest in CM and lowest in HU. Both GPP and HB population were correlated positively with fish yield per tank. Although pH in all treatments remained high (pH 8.4–8.9), no ammonia toxicity was observed. No E. coli infestation in any fish muscle was encountered. The concentrations of cadmium and lead in fish muscle were within respective safe level. The study established that high fertilizer potential of HU could be exploited as an alternative organic fertilizer or as a candidate to be blended with cattle manure.]]> Tue 12 Feb 2019 13:19:05 AEDT ]]> Dietary heavy metal(loid)s exposure and prevalence of chronic kidney disease of unknown aetiology (CKDu) in Sri Lanka https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:49223 Sun 07 May 2023 09:44:09 AEST ]]> Chronic kidney diseases of uncertain etiology (CKDue) in Sri Lanka: geographic distribution and environmental implications https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:12271 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:10:13 AEDT ]]> Combining potassium chloride leaching with vertical electrokinetics to remediate cadmium-contaminated soils https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:48272 Mon 13 Mar 2023 18:44:54 AEDT ]]> Influence of physico-chemical properties of soil clay fractions on the retention of dissolved organic carbon https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:34652 max) and SSA. The Qmax value also showed a moderately strong relationship (R² = 0.55, p < 0.05) with zeta potential (at pH 7). Qmax was only poorly correlated with CEC and native OC content. Therefore, along with SSA, the surface charge and functional groups of SCFs played the key role in determining the adsorption affinity and hence retention of DOC in soils.]]> Mon 08 Apr 2019 13:03:30 AEST ]]> Development of a modular vapor intrusion model with variably saturated and non-isothermal vadose zone https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:38772 Fri 28 Jan 2022 13:59:06 AEDT ]]>
