Article Synopsis
- Mercury pollution from mining in Ghana poses serious environmental issues, prompting a study on methods to stabilize mercury using electrokinetic current with or without iodide in contaminated gold mine tailings.
- The research found an initial mercury concentration of 9.60 mg/kg and calculated various factors indicating the effectiveness of plants in absorbing mercury, revealing a higher bioconcentration factor and translocation factor for the plants used.
- The study concluded that combining plants with iodide and electric current significantly improved mercury removal efficiency, achieving over 90% removal compared to lower rates with other methods.
A comparative study of the pollution status of Sakumo II and Muni lagoons in Ghana.
Water Sci Technol
November 2010
The pollution status of Sakumo II and Muni Lagoons and Mamahuma and Gbagbla Ankonu feeder streams, which feed Sakumo II along the coast of Ghana, were assessed and compared. As expected of saline waters, pH values of both lagoons fell within a slightly neutral to saline range whilst, the feeder streams were moderately saline. Conductivity distribution also showed saline (>5.

The groundwater was weakly acidic, moderately mineralized, fresh to brackish with conductivity ranging from of 96.6 microS cm(-1) in the North to 10,070 microS cm( - 1) in the South.
