Groundwater quality assessment is essential for groundwater resource management, especially as it concerns the health of those that consume it. Consequently, we assembled resistivity and hydrogeochemical data to assess the adverse effect of anthropogenic sources on groundwater quality in Ogbe-Ijoh, a coastal area of the western Niger Delta. Geoelec...

The area was mineralized, yet it is an agricultural settlement. Histories of water hardness and local migration of connate (saline) water exist across the region. This study investigated effects of these geogenic circumstances on the economy of the region and Nigeria. Geophysical and geochemical analyses were carried out for delineation of hydrolog...

Carbon adsorbents derived from biomass (agricultural and household residues) have been widely used in the sequestration of hazardous substances from the environment due to their distinctive qualities of large internal surface area, mechanical integrity, and regeneration. The need for carbon adsorbents for sequestration of dyes, heavy metals, and cr...

This study aimed to assess the impact of effluent discharge from a medium-scale aquaculture fish farm on the water quality of a nearby receiving stream, Odo-Owa stream, near Ijebu-Ode (06° 49′ N, 003° 56′ E) in Ogun State, Southwest Nigeria. Some physicochemical water quality parameters of the effluent receiving stream were determined at seven sele...

The untreated wastewater from the dye industry having high ammoniacal nitrogen and chemical oxygen demand (COD) significantly pollutes the receiving water, such as a river, having major ill implications on the aquatic environment. The present study is undertaken to address this problem. It investigates the effectiveness of Fenton reagent in simulta...

In the last decade, the world population has become more urban than rural, but the human contact with nature is still a necessity for a proper physical and mental development. The urban green areas are a significant part of the urban heritage, providing fundamental ecosystem services. They give us the possibility of having social and cultural inter...

The experiment successfully investigated fluoride (F−) uptake capacity of bio-inspired sodium alginate bead (BISAB) using ZSM-5 as an adsorbent through a series of batch studies. The study conducted to observe impact of individual parameter on F− adsorption reveals pH and adsorbent dose to have dominant effect in BISAB uptake as compared to time an...

In the present study, organic waste materials, like coconut shell, orange peels, and banana peels were used to produce activated carbon. Chemical activation was carried out using phosphoric acid (H3PO4). The activation temperatures were selected at the range of 200–300 °C. Surface morphology of the different activated carbon derived from the differ...
