Heavy Metals Level Evaluation in Lycopersicon Esculentum Tomato and Daucus Ca...ijtsrd
The exposure to heavy metals such as Ni, Cd, Cr, Co, Pb, As, Hg, Zn, Fe and Cu, has been reported as a risk to human health through the consumption of vegetable when exposed to air pollution and other environmental and agricultural pesticides. This paper is aimed to evaluate the level of heavy metal in carrot and tomatoes cultivated in two farming communities in Kazaure Local Government Area, Jigawa State, Nigeria. The heavy metals were analysed using Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy. The result showed that the mean levels concentration of heavy metals from carrot and tomatoes fruit cultivated from the two farming communities in Kazaure namely Gada and Firji farming areas. The heavy Ni, Cd, Fe, Pb, Mn, Zn and Cr concentration for carrots cultivated at Gada farming area were ranged from 0.06 0.09 mg kg, 0.08 0.09 mg kg, 8.24 8.91 mg kg,0.13 0.23 mg kg,1.23 ,1.56 1.67 mg kg and 0.02 0.04 mg kg respectively. The heavy metals As Cu and Co were not detected in the fruits of carrot for cultivated in both two farming areas. While the mean concentration obtained from tomatoes fruits from the Gada and Firji farming areas ranged from 0.14 0.16 mg kg, 0.06 0.07 mg kg, 6.11 6.12 mg kg, 0.97 0,99 mg kg, 1.11 1.23 mg kg, 0.35 0.39 mg kg for Ni, Cd, Fe, Mn, Zn and Cr respectively. While As, Cu, Pb and Co were not found in tomatoes harvested from the two farming communities. The study concludes that the level of some heavy metals analysed in carrot and tomatoes fruits were found within the permissible level except lead and cadmium. Ibrahim M.

IA Literature Review on Synthesis and Characterization of enamelled copper wi...Editor IJCATR
This paper discusses about the survey on the various magazines, conference papers and journals for understanding the
properties of enamelled copper wires mixed with nano fillers, fundamental methods for synthesis and characterization of carbon
nanotubes. From all these papers, it was noted that the research work carried out in an enamelled copper wires filled with nano fillers
has shown better results. It was also recorded that the research work was carried mostly with single metal catalysts and very little
amount of research work has been carried out on the synthesis of carbon nanotubes using bimetallic catalysts.
