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
In vitro antidrepanocytary actvity (anti-sickle cell anemia) of some congolese plants.
TL;DR: Thirty aqueous and ethanolic extracts from 13 congolese plants were evaluated for their antidrepanocytary activity, suggesting a possible correlation between the chemical composition of these plants and their uses in traditional medicine.
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
Leachates draining from controlled municipal solid waste landfill: Detailed geochemical characterization and toxicity tests.
B.K. Mavakala .,Séverine Le Faucheur,Crispin K. Mulaji,Amandine Laffite,Naresh Devarajan,Emmanuel M. Biey,Gregory Giuliani,Jean Paul Otamonga,Prosper Kabatusuila,Pius T. Mpiana,John Poté,John Poté,John Poté +12 more
TL;DR: This study presents useful tools for evaluating landfill leachate quality and risk in lagoon systems which can be applied to similar environmental compartments.
