Microbes are the primary agents responsible for the biogeochemical cycling of nutrients, promoting plant development, and suppressing disease. However, not much is known about how chemical fertilizers affect the populations, distribution and survival of soil microorganisms which are essential for...

Kanyama, a densely populated peri urban area in Lusaka, Zambia, is characterized by its high poverty levels and inadequate infrastructure, making it particularly vulnerable to environmental challenges. This research addresses the pressing issue of climate change-induced flooding and its effects...

Energy conservation is a subject that has continued to attract global attention as it is essential in ensuring that the growing energy demand does not pose a threat to the environment. In view of this, the current study aimed at finding out the household energy conservation practices used in...

The research sought to evaluate Lafarge’s environmental stewardship responsibilities due to the nature of its production business that may have negative impact in terms of footprint on the environment. The research was qualitative in nature and collected data from a sample of fifteen respondents....

This study has demonstrated that artificial concrete pillars can stabilize the active stopes, especially in broader sections of the orebodies intercepted with geotechnical challenges such as high-stress change, spalling, slabbing, sloughing, etc. FLAC3D numerical code was successfully used to...

This research delves into the urgent matter of energy access in Zambia, where 70% of the population lacks electricity, aligning with the United Nations 2030 sustainable development agenda, SDG7. It seeks to understand the role of financial inclusion in bridging the gap between renewable energy...

The global emergence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) highlights the urgent need for accurate diagnostic tools to combat infectious diseases effectively. Radiopharmaceuticals, such as the metastable state of Technetium-99m Methylene Diphosphonate (99mTc-MDP), are recognized as reliable...

This study investigates the characteristics of soil from an old Uchi Tailing Dump in Kitwe, Zambia, through field sampling and analysis. Soil samples were systematically collected using a grid sampling techniques to inform future environmentally responsible restoration strategies. Particle size...
