Assessment of the Physicochemical and Microbiological Qualities of Swimming Pools in Selected Hotels in Osogbo
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Water is used for various human activities such as drinking, bathing, washing and recreation. The physicochemical as well as microbiological qualities of water samples collected over a period of ten months from five swimming pools in five randomly-selected hotels in Osogbo metropolis, Southwestern Nigeria were assessed. The collection of the fifty water samples spanned the dry and rainy seasons and they were analysed for temperature, pH, turbidity, Dissolved Oxygen (DO), Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD), chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) and Residual Chlorine (RC), using standard procedure. The microbiological parameters studied were: Total Heterotrophic Bacteria Count (THBC), Total Coliform Bacteria Count (TCBC) and Total Heterotrophic Fungal Count (THF). The data showed variation in terms of swimming pools and seasons as
