Improved biogas production over immobilised methanogenic consortia - A. Chirchir; A. Kumar; A. Aoyi; K. Kiriamiti (Proceedings of Sustainable Research and Innovation Conference, 2015)
Alcohol distilleries produce effluents which are strongly acidic, have high Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) and Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), contain strong odour and are dark brown in colour. They cause detrimental environmental effects if they are freely disposed off to the environment. Adopted anaerobic treatment techniques with associated biogas generation have not proved to be very efficient on high strength distillery effluents as substrates. The improvement on mean product yield, effluent stabilization and sterile air tolerance was explored through microbial immobilization on activated natural zeolite and calcium alginate supports. Three experimental set-ups were performed with the first acting as a control and having no support material whereas the second and third having microbial system immobilized unto activated natural zeolite and calcium alginate supports respectively. At the marginal organic loading of 75 kg/m3 (corresponding to undiluted waste water), the unsupported system showed a low yield of 2.1 X 10-3 m3/kg CODt in biogas, whereas the calcium alginate system registered the highest yield of 84.5 X 10-3 m3/kg CODt . Activated natural zeolite system on the other hand showed a yield of 43.6 X 10-3 m3/kg CODt. Based on the effluent stabilization over the same initial marginal organic loading, activated natural zeolite system demonstrated the highest degree in effluent stabilization of 44.0 % as opposed to the unsupported and the calcium alginate system that registered 24.0 % and 41.3 % respectively. Finally, activated natural zeolite supported system showed the longest tolerance to sterile air exposures of 90 minutes. The unsupported system registered a tolerance of 30 minutes whereas the calcium alginate system demonstrated 60 minutes of oxygen tolerance.

IPM AMELIORATES RISKS OF GROUNDWATER PESTICIDE CONTAMINATION IN LAKE NAIVASHA BASIN, KENYA - Njoroge, Simon Mburu; Osano, Odipo; Mutuku, Munyao Thomas (International Journal of Science Technology and Management, 2015)
Increasing use of pesticides threatens the quality of groundwater with contamination. The objective of the study was to assess the use of integrated pest management (IPM) in reducing the risks of groundwater contamination in Lake Naivasha basin, Kenya. Interviewer administered questionnaires were used to collect data on types and quantities of pesticides used; and other methods used to control weeds, pests and plant diseases. The results showed that 141 pesticides were used in the basin and that 75% of farms were applying pesticides in high quantities. All the farms were also using IPM where pesticides and other conservative means were applied. Majority of farms (62.5%) reported average harvest when IPM methods were used. It was concluded that IPM program around Lake Naivasha is still in its initial stages and in transition from intensive pesticide use. The risk of groundwater contamination in the lake basin is therefore still high.

Microwave Enhanced Organic Synthesis Green Chemistry- A Study in Transesterification - Anil Kumar; Chirchir, Abraham; David Some; Kirimi Kiriamiti (Proceedings of Sustainable Research and Innovation Conference, 2015)
Use of microwaves as an alternate heat source to replace conventional heating has been studied in organic synthesis. Microwave irradiation results in faster reaction rates, cleaner production, thereby reducing energy consumption. This also leads to better environmental impacts and is considered green chemistry. This Paper reviews application of microwave irradiation in transesterification reactions for production of biodiesels. Transesterification of Croton Megalocarpus oil using homogeneous sodium hydroxide catalyst was carried out using conventional heating in a water bath, and in a microwave oven. Synthesis of fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) was studied for the reaction variables catalyst concentration, methanol to oil molar feed ratio and reaction time. Results indicated that reaction time was reduced to about 2% for a similar yield when microwave irradiation was employed instead of convective heating. During convectional heating, a FAME yield of 96% corresponded to a methanol-to-oil molar ratio of 6:1, catalyst of 1 %, temperature of 70oC, and reaction time of 60 minute. During microwave irradiation, a yield of 92% was obtained when methanol-to-oil molar ratio was 9:1, catalyst concentration 0.5 %, and reaction time 1 minute. FAME was analyzed through gas chromatography.

Modelling Relationship between Soil Permeability and Organic Carbon in Pesticide Transport into Groundwater - Njoroge, Simon Mburu; Osano, Odipo; Munyao, Thomas Mutuku (International Journal of Civil and Environmental Engineering, 2015)
Groundwater contamination by pesticides is an environmental health concern throughout the world. Many pesticides do not leach because they are adsorbed on the soil particles or organic matter even though they may have a relatively high solubility. The objective of this study was to determine the relationship between soil permeability and organic carbon in the transport of pesticides into groundwater along the shore of Lake Naivasha, using regression analysis of soil permeability and organic carbon data collected along the shore. The results showed that the soil organic carbon (foc) positively affected the soil permeability (k) and were related by the equation k= 80.724(1.726)foc. It was concluded that organic carbon increased soil permeability by 30%, thereby recharging the aquifer while at the same time reducing pesticide transport into groundwater. Based on these findings the study recommended that the use of compost (organic amendments) should be increased in place of inorganic fertilizers.

Adolescents living in HIV endemic settings face unique sexual health risks, and in the context of abject poverty, orphanhood, social marginalization, and discrimination, adolescents may be particularly at-risk of horizontal HIV transmission. Street-connected children and youth are a particularly vulnerable and marginalized population and therefore may be a key population at-risk.

Optimization of transesterifcation of sunflower oil with ethanol using eggshell as heterogeneous catalyst - F. M. Kilonzi; A. Kumar; S.S. Namango; H.K. Kiriamiti; D.K. Some (Chemical and Process Engineering Research, 2015)
Biodiesel is currently mostly produced by homogeneous catalysis. Recently, however, heterogeneous catalysis is being considered as a cheaper alternative to the homogeneous process. Heterogeneous transesterification is considered a green process. The process requires neither catalyst recovery nor aqueous treatment steps and very high yields of ethyl esters can be obtained, close to the theoretical value. However, heterogeneously catalyzed transesterification generally requires more severe operating conditions, and the performance of heterogeneous catalysts is generally lower than that of the commonly used homogeneous catalysts. This study seeks to address this problem by studying the production of biodiesel using eggshells as heterogeneous catalysts. Heterogeneous catalysts can make biodiesel production more energy efficient, and therefore less expensive, by eliminating the need for expensive purification processes that separates the catalyst from reaction products typical in the use of homogeneous catalysts. Matlab was employed for the experimental design, statistical analysis and process modeling. Fatty acid ethyl ester was produced by transesterification of sunflower oil and ethanol using calcined eggshells as a heterogeneous catalyst. To optimize the process, some important variables such as reaction temperature, molar ratio of ethanol to oil and mass weight of catalyst were selected and studied. At the following conditions: 343K of reaction temperature, ethanol to sunflower oil ratio of 9: 1 and 1 mass wt% of catalyst, an optimum fatty acid ethyl ester yield of 92% was obtained, indicating that eggshells have the potential of …

{Purpose The objectives of this study were to characterise the sexual health of street-connected adolescents in Eldoret, Kenya, analyse gender disparity of risks, estimate the prevalence of sexually transmitted infections (STIs), and identify factors associated with STIs.Methods A cross-sectional study of street-connected adolescents ages 12–21 years was conducted in Eldoret, Kenya. Participants were interviewed and screened for Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Trichomonas vaginalis, herpes simplex virus-2, syphilis and HIV. Descriptive statistics and logistic regression were used to identify factors associated with having any STI.Results Of the 200 participants, 81 (41%) were female. 70.4% of females and 60.5% of males reported sexual activity. Of those that participated in at least one STI test, 28% (55/194) had >=1 positive test, including 56% of females; 14% (28/194) had >1 positive test. Twelve females and zero males (6% overall, 14.8% of females) were HIV positive. Among females, those with HIV infection more frequently reported transactional sex (66.7% vs 26.1%

A Review of the Ingredients Contained in Over the Counter (OTC) Cough Syrup Formulations in Kenya. Are They Harmful to Infants? - Kigen, G; Busakhala, N; Ogaro, F.; E Chesire; Saat, N.; Too, R.; Nyandiko, W. (PLOS ONE, 2015)
BACKGROUND: Cough syrups are widely used in the developing world, but safety of their use in infants and children less than two years has not been well documented. Some syrups contain multiple combinations of such drugs as promethazine, diphenhydramine and ephedrine; which are individually now contraindicated in children less than two years. Despite this, the syrups are available as over the counter drugs and may be dispensed to mothers who are unaware of the potentially hazardous effects to their infants. A descriptive cross-sectional study was used to investigate suitability of cough syrups sold within Eldoret municipality for use in children less than two years of age based on their formulations and available literature. METHODS: Two semi-structured questionnaires were administered to pharmacy attendants and mothers attending sick child clinic at a referral hospital to establish whether cough syrups containing more than one active ingredient of compounds, now contraindicated in children are administered to infants, and awareness of potential serious adverse effects. Data from labeled contents of cough syrups from retail pharmacies was recorded and corroborated with information from literature to determine those deemed to contain the ingredients. The second questionnaire was administered to mothers with children less than two years to ascertain whether they had used the identified syrups. A total of 260 mothers and 55 pharmacy attendants were interviewed. RESULTS: There was widespread use of the syrups in children, including infants, with 192 (74%) of the respondents having used identified syrups and over 90% of these on children less than 2 years including those less than three months.146 (76%) mothers had administered the syrup at double the recommended dose. CONCLUSION: The regulatory authorities should make concerted efforts to discourage use of cough syrups containing ingredients that pose adverse events to infants, including campaigns to educate pharmacy workers and mothers.

Strategies for improvement of biohydrogen production from organic-rich wastewater: A review - Milton M Arimi; Jan Knodel; Kiprop, Ambrose; Saul S Namango; Yongjun Zhang; Sven-Uwe Geißen (Biomass and Bioenergy, 2015)
Biohydrogen can be produced from organic wastewater but the process is limited by low production yields. The aim of this review is to summarize the production strategies which are recently researched for enhancing biohydrogen yield and productivity from organic wastewater. The survey of published work indicates that the dark hydrogen fermentation is the most promising production mode. Current strategies geared towards improving biohydrogen production include: microbial culture immobilization, bioreactor modifications, the optimization of process conditions (temperature, pH, OLR and HRT), culture selection and enrichments, substrate choice, and the metabolic engineering of biohydrogen specialists. Comparative analysis of energy recovery from anaerobic digestion using vinasse-related substrates indicates that the production of methane has a higher energy yield than production of hydrogen. A sequential combination of biohydrogen and biomethanation production phases has the potential for even higher bioenergy recovery from organic wastewater.

© 2015 The Authors.Abstract Objective The prevalence of diabetes in sub-Saharan Africa is rising, but its relationship to depression is not well-characterized. This report describes depressive symptom prevalence and associations with adherence and outcomes among patients with diabetes in a rural, resource-constrained setting. Methods In the Webuye, Kenya diabetes clinic, we conducted a chart review, analyzing data including medication adherence, hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), clinic attendance, and PHQ-2 depression screening results. Results Among 253 patients, 20.9{%} screened positive for depression. Prevalence in females was higher than in males; 27{%} vs 15{%} (p = 0.023). Glycemic control trends were better in those screening negative; at 24 months post-enrollment mean HbA1c was 7.5 for those screening negative and 9.5 for those screening positive (p = 0.0025). There was a nonsignificant (p = 0.269) trend toward loss to follow-up among those screening positive. Conclusions These findings suggest that depression is common among people with diabetes in rural western Kenya, which may profoundly impact diabetes control and treatment adherence.
