Journal ArticleDOI
Accumulation of clinically relevant antibiotic-resistance genes, bacterial load, and metals in freshwater lake sediments in Central Europe.
Naresh Devarajan,Amandine Laffite,Neil D. Graham,Maria Meijer,Kandasamy Prabakar,Josué I. Mubedi,Vicky Elongo,Pius T. Mpiana,Bastiaan Willem Ibelings,Walter Wildi,John Poté,John Poté +11 more
TL;DR: The contamination of sediments by untreated or partially treated effluent water can affect the quality of ecosystem, and the reduction of contaminants from the source is recommended for further improvement of water quality.
Journal ArticleDOI
Occurrence of Antibiotic Resistance Genes and Bacterial Markers in a Tropical River Receiving Hospital and Urban Wastewaters
Naresh Devarajan,Amandine Laffite,Crispin K. Mulaji,Jean-Paul Otamonga,Pius T. Mpiana,Josué I. Mubedi,Kandasamy Prabakar,Bastiaan Willem Ibelings,John Poté,John Poté,John Poté +10 more
TL;DR: The occurrence of emerging biological contaminants including antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and Faecal Indicator Bacteria is still little investigated in developing countries under tropical conditions, indicating a common origin and extant source of contamination in tropical aquatic ecosystems receiving wastewaters.
Journal ArticleDOI
Trace metals and persistent organic pollutants in sediments from river-reservoir systems in Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC): Spatial distribution and potential ecotoxicological effects
Paola M. Mwanamoki,Naresh Devarajan,Florian Thevenon,Niane Birane,Luiz Felippe De Alencastro,Dominique Grandjean,Pius T. Mpiana,Kandasamy Prabakar,Josué I. Mubedi,Christophe G. Kabele,Walter Wildi,John Poté,John Poté +12 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that the deterioration of urban river-reservoir water quality result mainly from urban stormwater runoff, untreated industrial effluents which discharge into the river- Reservoirs, human activities and uncontrolled urbanization.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of untreated hospital effluents on the accumulation of toxic metals in sediments of receiving system under tropical conditions: case of South India and Democratic Republic of Congo.

TL;DR: The results highlight the high concentration of toxic metals from the Indian hospital effluent receiving systems, especially for Cr, Cu, As, Zn and Hg and the variation of sediment composition on toxic metal levels as well as toxicity related to both, the type of hospitals and the sampling period.
Journal ArticleDOI
Concentration of metals in surface water and sediment of Luilu and Musonoie Rivers, Kolwezi-Katanga, Democratic Republic of Congo

TL;DR: In this article, the concentrations of metals (Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Mo, Ag, Sn, and Pb) and major elements (Na, Mg, and K) in mining effluents, water and sediment samples of two main rivers of the district of Kolwezi (Katanga, DRC) were subjected to analysis by Inductive Coupled PlasmaMass Spectroscopy (ICP-MS).
