Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Lawson Mensah"
- Lawson Mensah's recent research primarily focuses on the ecological impacts of heavy metal contamination from sources such as fuel station run-off and carwash wastewater, emphasizing the growing risks due to increased urbanization and economic activities in Ghana.
- His studies investigate the effects of solids and hydraulic retention times on the microbial diversity and removal efficiency of endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) in activated sludge processes, highlighting the interplay between operational parameters and microbial community structure.
- Additionally, Mensah explores innovative anaerobic treatment methods for municipal wastewater, aiming to enhance removal rates of steroid estrogens while reducing operational costs and sludge production, particularly under varying temperature conditions.
