Disposal of sewage sludge is the major challenge facing wastewater treatment facilities. Several reports claimed that land application best option to manage disposal. However, there perception contains heavy metals are potentially harmful living organisms. Thus, study assessed uptake Amaranthus viridis grown on soil amended with sourced from three The vegetable was chosen because it mostly planted by farmers who could replace NPK fertiliser which expensive readily and freely available...

Leachate is a major threat to groundwater quality and ecosystem. The present study adopted four selected coagulants (inorganic: Al 2 (SO 4 ) 3 [Alum], FeCl 3, FeSO ; biological: Moringa oleifera complexing agent (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid EDTA) remediate leachates collected from two dumpsites in Abeokuta. leachate samples were subjected chemical heavy metal analyses using the American Public Health Association (APHA) standard method. data obtained evaluated for simple descriptive...

To determine the levels of some selected heavy metals in both anti-diabetic herbal plants and infused concoctions for diabetes treatment. Ten plant samples: pawpaw leaves (Carica papaya), bitter melon (Momordica charantia), holy basil (Ocimum sanctum), leaf (Vernonia amygdalina), ginger rhizome (Zingiber officinale), garlic (Allium sativum), African red pepper fruits (Capsicum frutescens), negro grain (Xylopia aethiopica), cashew (Anacardium occidentale) onion bulb cepa) were evaluated...

Release of crude oil and its products into the environment has resulted in many problems that are global concern. The objective this study was to determine effect Composted Market Waste (CMW) on degradation Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) oil-contaminated soil. Pot experiment carried out with 1 kg soil 7 litres perforated container contaminated 10 % w/ w oil, followed by amendment CMW at 0, 350 450 g. analysed for PAH after 21 days using GC-FID. Acenaphthylene, Acenaphthene,...

<title>Abstract</title> Water is abundantly available, but that of good quality for health and well-being not accessible thereby making cities communities to be doubted sustainability. Ascertaining water requires more than comparing the laboratory results with regulatory standards; exploring multifaceted approach check highly imperative mundane achieving related SDGs 3, 6, 11 this study. The Osun Corporation Laboratory analysed physicochemical parameters, heavy/ toxic metals, microbial loads...

Respiratory rate prediction(RRP) is vital for human or animal medical check-ups a good health and well-being (SDG 3) to be established. The RRP one of the biometeorological indices adopted determine health-related climate indication, which categorised into normal: ≤85, warning: between 85 110, danger: 110 133, emergency: ≥133. study obtained 32-year (1987-2018) data temperature, relative humidity, wind speed solar radiation from archive Nigeria Meteorological Agency, Abuja. were compute...

Greenspace campaign regulates urban air quality and global warming effects. Four areas with trees planting (TP: Ojota-Ketu, Anthony, Costain Airport-Agege) non-trees (NP: Mile 12, Jibowu, Ojuelegba Iyana-ipaja) were selected considering traffic volumes. Gaseous pollutants: CO, CO2, NOx, SO2, VOC; SPM noise levels; meteorological conditions: O2 Temperature in the assessed to be TP NP CO: 3.76 ± 1.23 4.70 1.59 μg/ m3, CO2: 8.39 1.50 14.68 2.62 NO2: 1.94 0.84 2.57 1.11 SO2: 0.32 0.54 0.46 0.77...

There is a necessity to assess soil properties with the view determining qualities relative pollution and sustainability of ecosystem functions plant productivity regardless scale. Soil samples (six points per site at 0-15 cm depth) from six selected housing estates across Ogun State were assessed for pH heavy metals in two dry rainy seasons. The digested using standard methods analysed seven metals: Mn, Fe, Cu, Zn, Ni, Pb Cd AAS. data obtained subjected descriptive inferential statistics....

ABSTRACT This study compared the presence of selected heavy metals in Gbagede dumpsite (GD) and Ilokun (ID) Kwara Ekiti State with host communities community (GC) (IC). Ten soil samples were collected randomly at 10 cm depth, digested analyzed for Cadmium (Cd), Copper (Cu), Manganese (Mn), Zink (Zn) iron (Fe) respectively. The results control standard, subjected to ecological risk indices: Enrichment factor (EF), Contamination (CF), Index geo-accumulation (Igeo). Metal concentrations higher...

Abstract The threats of climate change on agricultural systems, water availability and crop performance put pressure food security zero hunger. effects call for multifaceted mitigation necessitate this research to investigate management (W.M.) varieties (CRV) adaptation being used by the rain-fed farmers that have records yearly high produce. distributed 1600 copies pretested questionnaire across four (Benue, Edo, Niger Ondo) states in Nigeria through national Agricultural Development...

The study assessed carbon sequestration potential of the identified trees {Gmelina, Mango, Neem, Masquerade, Step and Cassia} along five selected roadsides in Abeokuta metropolitan. Leaves were plucked, digested triplicate analysed for chlorophyll (Ch) A, B A+B contents using UV-visible spectrophotometer. Obtained data subjected to descriptive inferential statistics while correlation analysis relationship between leaf Ch contents. Results indicated that varied. ranking tree metropolitan...
