PCDD/Fs and dioxin-like PCBs in surface sediments from Lake Victoria, East Africa

Ssebugere, Patrick; Kiremire, Bernard T.; Henkelmann, Bernhard; Bernhöft, Silke; Wasswa, John; Kasozi, Gabriel N.; Schramm, Karl-Werner (Science of the total environment, 2013)

Surface sediments (b60 cm) from the Napoleon Gulf and Thurston Bay on the northern shore of Lake Victoria were analyzed for polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs), polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs) and dioxin-like ...

PCDD/Fs and dioxin-like PCBs in fish species from Lake Victoria, East Africa

Ssebugere, Patrick; Kiremire, Bernard T.; Henkelmann, Bernhard; Bernhöft, Silke; Kasozi, Gabriel N.; Wasswa, John; Schramm, Karl-Werner (Chemosphere, 2013)

Two commercially important fish species, Nile perch (Lates niloticus) and Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) belonging to different trophic levels were collected from the Napoleon Gulf and Thurston Bay in Lake Victoria. ...

Bioconcentration and trophic transfer of polychlorinated biphenyls and polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans in aquatic animals from an e-waste dismantling area in East China

Zhu, Chaofei; Wang, Pu; Li, Yingming; Chen, Zhaojing; Li, Wenjuan; Ssebugere, Patrick; Zhang, Qinghua; Jianga, Guibin (Environmental Science: Processes & Impacts, 2015)

Eight aquatic biota species were collected from an e-waste dismantling area in East China to investigate bioconcentration and trophic transfer of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polychlorinated dibenzo-pdioxins (PCDDs) ...

Comparative exposomics of persistent organic pollutants (PCBs, OCPs, MCCPs and SCCPs) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in Lake Victoria (Africa) and Three Gorges Reservoir (China)

Omwoma, Solomon; Muendo Mbithi, Bonface; Pandelova, Marchela; Ssebugere, Patrick; Lalah, Joseph O.; Wang, Yawei; Bi, Yonghong; Henkelmann, Bernhard; Schramm, Karl-Werner (Science of the Total Environment, 2019)

Exposomics is assessment of organism exposure to high priority environmental pollutants in an ecosystem using OMIC technologies. A virtual organism(VO) is an artificial property-tool (OMIC) reflecting exposomic process ...

Concentrations and sources apportionment of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in 1 sediments from the 2 Uganda side of Lake Victoria

Kerebba, Nasifu; Ssebugere, Patrick; Kwetegyeka, Justus; Arinaitwe, Kenneth; Wasswa, John (Environmental Science: Processes & Impacts, 2017)

This paper presents the levels and possible sources of selected polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in surface sediments from Napoleon Gulf and Murchison Bay of Lake Victoria. Sediment samples were extracted and cleaned ...

Organochlorine pesticide residues in sediments from the Uganda side of Lake Victoria

Wasswa, John; Kiremire, Bernard T.; Nkedi-Kizza, Peter; Mbabazi, Jolocam; Ssebugere, Patrick (Chemosphere, 2011)

Organochlorine (OC) residues were analysed in 117 sediment samples collected from four bays of the Uganda side of Lake Victoria. The sediments were collected with a corer at a depth of 0–20 cm, and extracted for OC ...

Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and polybrominated biphenyl ethers (PBDEs) in environmental samples from Ny-Ålesund and London Island, Svalbard, the Arctic

Zhu, Chaofei; Li, Yingming; Wanga, Pu; Chen, Zhaojing; Ren, Daiwei; Ssebugere, Patrick; Zhang, Qinghua; Jiang, Guibin (Chemosphere, 2015)

Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and polybrominated biphenyl ethers (PBDEs) were determined in environmental samples collected from Ny-Ålesund and London Island, Svalbard, the Arctic. Total PCB concentrations (P25PCBs) ...

Hexabromocyclododecane in alpine fish from the Tibetan Plateau, China

Zhu, Nali; Fu, Jianjie; Gao, Yan; Ssebugere, Patrick; Wang, Yawei; Jiang, Guibin (Environmental Pollution, 2013)

Hexabromocyclododecanes (HBCDs) has just been listed into Stockholm Convention as a persistent organic pollutant recently. This paper studied the HBCDs in 79 wild fish from high mountain lakes and rivers of the Tibetan ...

Polychlorinated biphenyls and hexachlorocyclohexanes in sediments and fish species from the Napoleon Gulf of Lake Victoria, Uganda

Ssebugere, Patrick; Sillanpää, Mika; Kiremire, Bernard T.; Kasozi, Gabriel N.; Wang, Pu; Sojinu, Samuel O.; Otieno, Peter O.; Zhu, Nali; Zhu, Chaofei; Zhang, Haidong; Shang, Hongtao; Ren, Daiwei; Li, Yingming; Zhang, Qinghua; Jiang, Guibin (Science of the Total Environment, 2014)

Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and hexachlorocyclohexanes (HCHs) were analyzed in surface sediments (b30 cm depth) and two fish species: Nile perch (Lates niloticus) and Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). The samples ...
