“…Some of such water sources constantly receive effluents from slaughterhouses, industries, farmlands and domestic power plants (Figure 1). samples were carefully collected by filling 250cm 3 to the brim and covered, while the bottle was under the water. Then 1.0cm 3 pipette was used to add 1.0cm 3 50% manganese solution and 1.0cm 3 alkaline-iodide azide solution and re-stopped.…”

“…Though the hydrosphere is estimated to contain about 1.36 billion km 3 , only about 0.3% of the water, existing as fresh water in rivers, streams, springs and aquifers, is available for human use; the remaining 99.7 % is locked up in seas and oceans. The geological constraints limit accessibility of many human communities to water that is adequate in terms of quantity, quality and sustainability.…”

The aim of the study was to determine the physicochemical characteristics, metal levels and anion content of water samples collected from Abakaliki, Ebonyi and Ikwo Local Government Area of Ebonyi State, Nigeria. A total of 736 water samples, comprising of 215, 111, 144, 117 and 149 from boreholes, ponds, rivers, streams and wells respectively, were collected from three local governments areas (Abakaliki, Ebonyi and ikwo) of Ebonyi State over a period of eight (8) months. Samples were analysed for physicochemical, metal, anion and microbiological characteristics using standard scientific procedures. Results revealed varying ranges in alkalinity (140.60 ± 0.20 -368.50 ± 0.20mgL -1 ), BOD (1.20 ± 0.12 -13.36 ± 0.05mgL -1 ), COD (3.14 ± 0.95 -14.20 ± 0.05mgL -1 ), conductivity (2.30 ± 0.40 -0.01 ± 0.12msL -1 ), DO (0.02 ± 1.11 -7.50 ± 0.20mgL -1 ), ph (5.80 ± 0.00 -7.83 ± 0.40), salinity (91.59 ± 0.50 -221.20 ± 0.20%), temperature (20.01 ± 1.50 -29.00 ± 1.50 0 C), TSS (89.11 ± 0.50 -750.00 ± 1.80mgL -1 ), TH (72.80 ± 0.00 -262.30 ± 0.10mgL -1 ), TOC (0.64 ± 1.50 -5.50 ± 0.60mgL -1 ), TSS (152.10 ± 1.20 -485.90 ± 0.20mgL -1 ), turbidity (3.38 ± 0.98 -11.40 ± 0.81 NTU), aluminium (0.01 ± 0.00 -0.22 ± 0.02mgL -1 ), arsenic (0.01 ± 0.01 -0.06 ± 0.01mgL -1 ), cadmium (0.02 ± 0.00 -0.40 ± 0.00mgL -1 ), calcium (20.00 ± 0.02 -68.00 ± 0.00mgL -1 ), chromium (0.01 ± 0.00 -0.09 ± 0.00mgL -1 ), copper (0.20 ± 0.01 -0.80 ± 0.00mgL -1 ), iron (0.20 ± 0.00 -0.88 ± 0.00mgL -1 ), lead (0.02 ± 0.00 -0.19 ± 0.02mgL -1 ), chlorides (40.00 ± 0.01 -265.00 ± 0.00mg/L), nitrates (11.86 ± 0.16 -65.00 ± 0.02mg/L) and phosphates (0.08 ± 0.08 -16.00 ± 0.00mg/L). In conclusion, this investigation revealed that the levels of physicochemical parameters in the water samples were beyond NSDWQ and who recommended limits signifying a potential problem for human and animal health. It is imperative to monitor the quality of water and strict quality control measures should be strengthened to ensure the effective treatment of drinking water. Educative programmes should be organized by researchers, and government agencies to enlighten the villagers on the proper use of water and the potential dangers associated with human consumption of contaminated water.

O presente trabalho teve por objetivo pesquisar a presença de enterobactérias resistentes a diferentes antimicrobianos nas águas de poços tubulares perfurados na região de Santa Teresa e Santa Maria de Jetibá – ES. Para isso foram coletadas amostras de 10 poços, sendo cinco poços em cada localidade. Essas amostras foram submetidas a testes laboratoriais para isolamento e identificação das bactérias presentes e posteriormente o antibiograma para enterobactérias. Na cidade de Santa Teresa 60% dos pontos de coleta apresentaram contaminação microbiana, já em Santa Maria de Jetibá, 80% dos poços estavam contaminados. Houve uma prevalência de coliformes totais, tais como Klebsiella pneumoniae, Enterobacter cloaceae, Enterobacter gergoviae e Serratia rubideae. Dentre as enterobactérias isoladas 33,4% apresentaram resistência a cefalotina e a tetraciclina e 16,7% a gentamicina. A contaminação microbiana em poços tubulares, e ainda a presença de contaminantes com resistência a antimicrobianos, mostra um considerável nível de interferência humana nesses ecossistemas, evidenciando a necessidade de um cuidado com a forma de utilização dessas águas, principalmente se a mesma estiver sendo utilizada em ambientes que lidam com a saúde humana.

Cytological status of hepatocytes in respect to seasons influencing ovarian activities has been studied in Mastacembelus armatus (Hamilton). Histologically, the hepatocyte of female liver was provided with distinct nucleus and basophilic cytoplasmic granules. In M. armatus different germ line cells were recognized on the basis of size and histoarchitecture of the cells. By examining seasonal changes in relation to hepatocytes and ovary, it was found that during growth and maturation phases the density of cytoplasmic granules of hepatocytes was increased in number as well as the nucleus become hypertrophied. These features were well correlated with the occurrence of cortical alveolus and yolk granule stage in the ovary. During spawning phase the cytoplasmic granules were sparse in the hypertrophied hepatic cells. This was due to the dynamic cytological activities like vitellogenesis and occurrence of mature oocytes in the ovary. However, no significant alterations were noticed in the hepatocytes during post spawning phase due to the appearance of new germ line cells in the ovary. Cytological changes in the hepatocytes were correlated with the reproductive phases in female M. armatus.
