- ItemEffect of Cow Bone Ash on a Stabilized Lateritic Soil for Road Work(Neewaj Journal of Multidiciplinary Research and Innovations, 2026) Abdulrauf Toyin KURANGA, Sulaiman Olayinka SUBAIR, and Habeeb SOLIHUThis research investigates the potential of cow bone ash (CBA) as a stabilizer for lateritic soil, aiming to improve its geotechnical properties for road construction and mitigate environmental pollution from bone waste disposal. Lateritic soil samples were collected from Peke Airport Road and stabilized with varying percentages of CBA (0%, 2%, 4%, 6%, 8%, and 10%). Standard laboratory tests, including specific gravity, particle size distribution, Atterberg limits, compaction, and California Bearing Ratio (CBR), were conducted according to British Standards (BS 1377: 1990 and BS 1924: 1990). demonstrating improved geotechnical properties such as increased unsoaked and soaked CBR values (from 51.0% to 57.0% with 10% CBA), reduced Atterberg limits (LL decreased from 44.5% to 30.0% with 10% CBA), and enhanced compaction characteristics (MDD increased from 1660 kg/m³ to 1770 kg/m³ with 10% CBA), while also considering the trade-off of increased optimum moisture content (OMC) from 12.0% to 17.5% with increasing CBA content, necessitating further analysis to determine the optimal CBA percentage for optimal stabilization.

- ItemInvestigation on Fluoride Concentration in Well Water and Its Health Implications: A Case Study of Gwagwalada, Gwagwalada Area Council, FCT, Abuja(Journal of Advanced Environmental Research and Technology. Published by Tarbiat Modares University Journals System, 2023) SOLIHU HABEEB, Ismaeel Abdulraheem, Solomon Olakunle Bilewu, & Ganiyu Adeniyi AdeogunThis study focuses on determining the concentration of fluoride ions in selected hand-dug wells and investigating its health implications in Gwagwalada Area Council, Federal Capital Territory, Abuja. The necessity for this investigation arose from observed health issues, including dental and skeletal fluorosis among the residents in the area. Fifteen sampling points (well water sources) were chosen in the study area, and a total of forty-five samples (three per sampling point) were collected. The calorimetric water quality analysis method was employed to analyze these samples in the laboratory. Additionally, the Inverse Distance Weighting (IDW) interpolation method was used to generate a spatial variation map for fluoride ion concentration using ArcMap. The results indicate a concentration range of 0.122 mg/L to 1.910 mg/L across the study area. When compared with the recommendations for fluoride ion concentration key words in the Nigeria Industrial Standard (NIS) for drinking water (0.1 – 1.0 mg/L), approximately 67% of the sampling points (10 out of 15) fall within the recommended values, while 33% fall outside. The areas with higher fluoride ion concentrations include Dupa 1, Dupa 2, Tunga Maje 1, Tunga Maje 2, and Old Kutunku 2. The study concludes that the observed dental and skeletal fluorosis in these areas can be attributed to the consumption of water with high fluoride concentrations.
