Different studies have shown that Vernonia amygdalina is enriched with proteins, fats, fibres, amino acids, minerals vitamins, and carbohydrates but no record yet on the level of heavy metals in collected from Ojota (dumpsite) Badagry (control) Lagos state. Samples V. were analyzed for using standard method, while differences concentrations t-test analysis at significance set p=0.05. The result...

Thus, groundwater can be easily susceptible to infiltration from dumpsites, septic tanks and other anthropogenic activities. Approximately, one fifth of the world total freshw...

Screening various plant species to act as hyperaccumulators and associated health risks could serve a sustainable solution for the bioremediation heavy metals (HMs). For first time, present study explored phytoremediation potential of native plants, soil enrichment, human with contamination HMs in samples collected from municipal solid-waste open dump site. Soil (n = 18 + 18) dumpsite control s...

This study conducts a comparative assessment of two dumpsites (abandoned and active dumpsite) around Osogbo metropolis Osun State Nigeria. Ten selected heavy metals (HMs) such as arsenic, copper, cobalt, cadmium, chromium, iron, nickel, manganese, lead zinc were determined. The soil samples collected, at strategic points to revealed variation in samples. concentrations HMs quantitatively determ...

Abstract In developing countries, the stress of drinking water is often due to increase in population, and rivers are most important source water. this study, pollution Kadambrayar River, located southern India, was evaluated. The river flows through major establishments city, an open dumping site near its bank. infested with hyacinth, which considered a bioindicator bodies. Sixteen quality par...

During the last few years, the concern about the protection of the environment has largely increased due to the contaminants mainly with anthropogenic origin and have affected and continue to threaten human resources especially air quality, surface soil and groundwater. Solid wastes are produced every day in urban societies as a result of human activities and in an attempt to dispose of these m...

In many countries, open dumping is considered the simplest, cheapest, and most cost-effective way of managing solid wastes. Thus, in underdeveloped economies, Municipal Solid Wastes (MSW) are openly dumped. Improper waste disposal causes air, water, soil pollution, impairing permeability blockage drainage system. Waste Management (SWM) can be enhanced by operating a well-engineered site with ca...

Heavy metal is one of the major problems due to its accumulation from soil food chain, wherein dumpsites are primary sources heavy pollution. This study aimed determine presence metals in Santa Rita, Western Samar dumpsite and quantify them obtain knowledge on possible high contamination that may affect surrounding areas. focused concentrations Cd, Ni, Pb. Eighteen (18) samples were acquired wi...

Abstract Borehole water has been the main source of drinking for communities living within Nnewi metropolis. The quality this borehole significantly affected by presence unlined waste dumpsites which release leachates. present study investigated physicochemical characteristics and located around environment dumpsite in Nnewi. In study, thirty-two (32) samples were collected from (16) control ar...
