Chemical transformation and fate of lead in shooting range soils found in eastern and northern Botswana

Pilatoe-Kelebemang, Rosemary (Botswana International University of Science and Technology, 2017-09)

Ammunition used for military training and exercises has been found to contain high content of lead (Pb). The Pb present in the ammunition projectiles undergoes an array of transformation and weathering reactions when it ...
Critical assessment of mechanistic pathways for chemical remediation techniques applied to Pb impacted soils at shooting ranges – a review

Dinake, Pogisego; Kelebemang, Rosemary (Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group, 2019-09-13)

Shooting ranges continue to pose environmental and human health risk due to the accumulation of toxic Pb emanating from munitions. Remediation of Pb pollution at shooting ranges has been carried out through application of ...
The effects of heavy metals on the quality and yield of vetiver grass (chrysopogon zizanioides) essential oil

Kereeditse, Tsotlhe Trinity (Botswana International University of Science and Technology (BIUST), 2022-03)

Vetiver grass (Chrysopogon zizanioides;CZ) is a well-known grass that can both remediate various heavy metals in soil as well as producing essential oil that is commonly used in premier perfumery, food and pharmaceutical ...
An innovative microwave-assisted one-step green synthetic approach of biowaste derived fluorescent carbon-dot invisible ink for currency anti-counterfeiting applications

Dinake, Pogisego; Phokedi, Gothatamang Norma; Mokgadi, Janes; Mokibe, Tumisang; Tlhako, Mogomotsi; Botlhomilwe, Mmamiki Ayanda; Kelebemang, Rosemary; Motswetla, Obakeng; Present, Bokang (World Scienti ̄c Publishing Company, 2022-04-21)

The quest for the design and synthesis of carbon dots with anti-counterfeit properties that are derived via green, environmentally friendly and economical procedures is a continuous process. Carbon dots (C-dots) derived ...
Lead pollution of shooting range soils

Sehube, Nicholas; Kelebemang, Rosemary; Totolo, Otlogetswe; Laetsang, Masego; Kamwi, Obed; Dinake, Pogisego (South African Chemical Institute (SACI), 2017)

A total of eight military shooting ranges were used for this study. Soil samples were collected at each of the eight shooting ranges at the berm, target line, 50 and 100 m from berm. In all of the shooting ranges investigated ...
Pollution risk from Pb towards vegetation growing in and around shooting ranges – a review

Dinake, Pogisego; Mokgosi, Serwalo Mercy; Kelebemang, Rosemary; Kereeditse, Tsotlhe Trinity; Motswetla, Obakeng (Taylor and Francis Group, 2021-05-05)

Commissioned and de-commissioned shooting ranges continue to pose an environmental and human health risk due to the accumulation of toxic Pb emanating from spent munitions. The phytotoxic effects of Pb accumulation in ...
Pollution status of shooting range soils from Cd, Cu, Mn, Ni and Zn found in ammunition

Dinake, Pogisego; Maphane, Onneetse; Sebogisi, Karabo; Kamwi, Obed (Taylor and Francis Group, 2018-09-18)

Evaluation of concentration of heavy metals found in shooting range soil is important in assessing the pollution risk posed to biota. Soil samples from five shooting ranges found in Botswana were used in this study. All ...
Quantitative assessment of static versus dynamic environmental pollution risk from lead pollution at shooting ranges

Sehube, Nicholas (Botswana International University of Science and Technology (BIUST), 2020-07-08)

Lead pollution of soil arising from use of leaded ammunition in shooting ranges has received considerable attention from researchers, scientists, policy makers and legislatures. This is due to the adverse health effects ...
