Abstract

This study was aimed at determining the physico-chemical properties of rainwater collected from a cementfactory and its environment. Four (4) locations labeled A, B, C and D were sampled and analysed. Theresult of the rainwater analysed indicated that locations A, B, C and D had temperature values of 22.3,21.7, 23.5, and 21.8oC respectively, Turbidity; (0.15, 0.18, 0.20 and 0.13 NTU), pH: (6.5, 6.4, 6.1, and 6.7),Hardness as CaCO3: (40.00, 40.00, 40.00 and 40.33 mg/L), NO3- : (36.77, 38.63, 32.40, and 30.20mg/L)respectively, while the microbiological assay showed no presence of e. coli. CO2 values were 24.00, 21.00,22.67, and 24.33 mg/L for A, B, C and D respectively, Ca2+: (21.33, 22.00, 120.33 and 19.67mg/L), SO42- :(10.67, 8.67, 32.67 and 12.67 mg/L) respectively for A, B, C and D. The pH values showed that rainwaterfrom all the locations were slightly acidic particularly location C. Overall, the water was found fit fordrinking though with a relative high amount of Nitrates in samples A and B and a high CO2 contentespecially in locations D, A and C. These results are indications that the area could experience acid rainunder extreme conditions.

Abstract

In Western societies, hypertension affects up to 20% of the population, making it a significant public health concern. The rates of blood pressure control remain unsatisfactory despite advancements in treatment. Since hypertension is a complex disorder, there is rarely a single, obvious cause identified for so-called "essential" hypertension. The primary mineralocorticoid in humans, aldosterone is increasingly understood to contribute significantly to cardiovascular morbidity. Its role in hypertension has also been examined in view of recent research suggesting that up to 15% of hypertensive individuals exhibit a key phenotype of increased aldosterone biosynthesis, as indicated by an elevated aldosterone to renin ratio. Excessive production or activity of mineralocorticoids is a significant contributing factor to secondary hypertension. Humans' basic mineralocorticoid is aldosterone, and when an aldosterone-secreting adenoma (Conns tumour) is linked to primary aldosterone excess, it can be surgically treated. Although primary aldosteronism was once thought to be rare, recent studies have reported preval_ence rates of up to 20% among hypertensive patients. This reflects the increasing use of the plasma aldosterone concentration to renin activity ratio (ARR), which is a proxy for angiotensin II, the major trophic substance regulating aldosterone secretion. Traditionally, patients with Conns tumour present with spontaneous hypokalaemia and have a relative excess of aldosterone production with suppression of plasma levels of renin (a proxy for angiotensin II, the major trophic substance regulating aldosterone secretion).
