ABSTRACT This project deals with the legal and institutional framework for the control of Environmental Pollution in Nigeria. Pollution of the environment leads to the degradation of the environment, which is a consequence of industrialization.  In Nigeria, there are laws that are enacted to safeguard our environment.  There are also institutions put in place to enforce these laws. However, recent experience has shown that despite these laws and the institutions, ...

CHAPTER ONE  INTRODUCTION Background of the study Environmental resources may be defined as phenomena (natural, organic and inorganic) which are developed to support man and meet his needs for goods and services within his environment (Areola et al., 2019). The four main types of environmental resources are atmospheric, water, vegetation and mineral resources (the last two derived from land).  These are called resources because they are useful to man.  This ...

Abstract Against the background of incessant occurrence of flood and its devastating impacts on residents, the research focused on causes and effect and solution to flooding in Karu LGA of Nasarawa state. Data were collected through the use of structured questionnaire from the respondents. A total of two hundred fifty (250) questionnaires were administered to the respondents in the study areas. The questionnaires were distributed using the systematic random technique ...

CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION 1.1 BACKGROUND OF STUDY Erosion is one of the surface processes that sculpture the earth’s landscape and constitutes one of the global environmental problems. Soil erosion is perhaps the most serious mechanism of land degradation in the tropics (ElSwaify, et al., 2002). However, gully is visually the most impressive of all types of erosion (El-Swaify, 2000). Gully erosion is a well-defined water worn channel (Monkhouse and Small, ...

ABSTRACT This research examined the consequences of incompatible land uses on the environment of Uyo Urban. The study adopted a survey approach. It was carried out with questionnaire administration, land uses, structures and sector survey. Random sampling of 748 household heads within the identified 6 residential zones in Uyo Urban was adopted. The residential areas were demarcated following routes within Uyo urban. Data were collected from related government ministries and ...

INTRODUCTION Fugitive emissions are emissions of gases or vapors from pressurized equipment due to leaks and other unintended or irregular releases of gases, mostly from industrial activities. As well as the economic cost of lost commodities, fugitive emissions contribute to air pollution. Warming of the climate system is an undisputable fact of the 21st century (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, IPCC, 2001). This average increase in global temperature is unequivocal, ...

CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION Since the beginning of civilization, man has always been motivated by the need to make progress and better the lives of fellow mankind by exploring the natural environment.  It is indisputable that the natural environment before the advent of environmental degradation, created unlimited opportunities for development and economic sufficiency of the inhabitants or the populace, but with the advent of environmental degradation, the inhabitants have been denied ...

ABSTRACT In this research work, the development of a waste based Biostimulant in the remediation of Crude-oil contaminated soil was investigated. Biostimulants used was plant waste (Plantain Peel) at a constant proportion of crude oil contamination and treated with varying concentration of biostimulant (10%w/w, 15%w/w, 20%w/w, 25%w/w, 30%w/w). Microsoft Excel tool and Design Expert statistical software were used in the kinetic study and optimization of the process. The treatment period ...

CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION 1.1   Background of the Study The generation and disposal of waste is an intrinsic part of any developing society.  Waste, both from domestic and commercial sources has grown significantly in the society over the past decade.  Every time a householder shops at the store, and open market he contributes to the mountain of waste.  It is possible to quote figures which show that the production of waste ...

CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION 1.1    Background of the study Management of Abattoir wastes has been of great concern in Nigeria. Almost every day in all the urban and rural markets in our county Nigeria, animals are slaughtered while the meats are sold to the public for consumption. Meat wastes sprang up from killing and also dehairing, paunch handling, rendering, trimming, processing and clean-up operations. That is the reason we will say ...

Abstract In every human environment, students’ health has been the major contributory factor to their academic performances over the years because it determines their ability to read and prepare for examination. This study was conducted to investigate the sanitation conditions and its impact on the health status of Hostellers in University of Calabar. Using a random sampling technique, 100 students were selected for the study. Data were collected with the ...

Abstract Inevitable consequences of the practice of solid waste disposal in landfills are gas and leachate generation due primarily to microbial decomposition, climatic conditions, refuse characteristics and landfilling operations. The migration of gas and leachate away from the landfill boundaries and their release into the surrounding environment present serious environmental concerns at both existing and new facilities. Besides potential health hazards, these concerns include, and are not limited to, fires and explosions, vegetation ...

CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION 1.1     Background of Study Today, there is no doubt that the world has increasingly become urban and the 20 century witnessed rapid and unprecedented urbanization of the world's population. The global urban population increased from 13% in 1900 to 29% in 1950, 49% in 2005 and it is estimated that by 2030, 60% of the population will live in the cities. This trend is a reflection of ...

ABSTRACT This study examined the assessment of environmental and health risk of urban flooding. Nigeria is the most populous Black race country in Africa and in the world with a total land area of 983,213 km2 occupied by over 160 Million people: The interaction of these millions of people with their environment has left indelible mark on the landscape. Urbanization, deforestation, flooding, desertification, over population and all kinds of pollution ...

Abstract The purpose of the study was to ascertain the effect of crude oil pollution on dissolved oxygen and PH in Aquatic ecosystem in the oil producing Niger Delta region of Nigeria. The study was carried out in Abacheke community in Egbema Local Government area, Imo state.Water Samples were collected for quality analysis from  three locations A, B, C. Locations A and B are areas with history of spillage while ...

ABSTRACT Over the years there have been stories of notorious oil spillages in the Niger Delta regions of the country, deposition of deadly industrial wastes into the seas at Lagos Lagoons and beaches, deposition of Biological and medical wastes in the Nigerian sea borders etc. which have led to death of sea and land animals including man in most cases as well as other environmental hazards; yet the perpetrators’ of ...

Abstract For thousands of years, sand and gravel have been used in the construction of roads and buildings. Today, demand for sand and gravel continues to increase. Mining operators, in conjunction with cognizant resource agencies, must work to ensure that sand mining is conducted in a responsible manner. Excessive in-stream sand-and-gravel mining causes the degradation of rivers. In-stream mining lowers the stream bottom, which may lead to bank erosion. Depletion ...

ABSTRACT The versatility of wood is due to the level of moisture content in wood which determine the performance of wood in service. This performance is as a result of the process used in the drying of the wood species. Wood can be dried through natural and artificial drying method but natural method required little skills and cost in obtaining desirable result. This project was based on the improvement of ...
