Investigating the Effect of Aging and Time on the Fate and Transport of Lead in Artificially Contaminated Tropical Soils

Abstract

I needed clarification on several abstruse portions of my research, especially. Thank you, for your tolerance, constructive comments, fund and liberty given me to conduct and express myself with this research work. My unreserved appreciation goes to Dr. Nadine Kabengi, whose doors were always opened to me whenever I needed assistance in understanding some key concepts in the field of aqueous geochemistry. Her motivation, and contribution in helping proffer logical solutions to some conundrums attached to my experimental protocols and results are highly appreciated. Furthermore, her Environmental Instrumentations class allowed me to conceptualize and implement solutions to some challenges faced during the research work. Noteworthy is Dr. Crawford Elliot. Thank you for your serving on my thesis committee on short notice. Also, I appreciate the assistance you rendered with your AAS machine. It's also noteworthy to acknowledge the contribution of Doctoral Candidates, Nicholas Allen and Nate Rabideaux. Their comments were very insightful in deciphering some challenges associated with my experimental protocol. Gratitude to David Davis who assisted with the sample preparation for XRD analysis. Lastly, I would like to thank all Grad students, and the administrative staffs of the Department of Geosciences, GSU who have contributed in one capacity or the other in making sure I had all the administrative help I needed to successfully complete my work and have hitchfree time in the department.
