The study was carried out in Egor local government area, Dumpsite in Ovia North-East local government area of Edo state. The study areas are located between latitudes of 6°27'27.8''N to 6°27'44.6''N and longitudes of 5°35'58.7″E to 5°36'16.8''E in Egor local government area and the dumpsite is located with a latitude of 6°22´1.2''N to 6°27´51.3″N and longitudes of 5°36'42.3''E to 5°36´2.1″E in Ovia North-East local government area. A total of five (5) water samples were collected from an existing borehole at different locations within the study area. Physiochemical test, Major anion and cation concentration was determined using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS). Microbiological Parameters for all the water samples was also determined. The following are the physiochemical parameters, major cations and anions that was analysed from all the water samples collected: pH, EC, TDS, Na+, Ca+, Mg2+, Cl-, NO3- , HNO3- , HNO3- , SO42- , Cr2-, Cd-, Ni-, and Pb2+ and the Microbiological parameter analysed for all the water samples are Coliform and E. Coli. The Microbiological parameter analysed for are Coliform and E. Coli as shown in Table 1. The results reveals that the study areas have average value of pH (4.89) which is below the WHO (2011) and NSQW (2007) standard permissible limit of 6.5-8.5 and this indicates that the water is slightly acidic probably due to the presence of decayed organic matter in high amounts and mineral acids produced during hydrolysis. The average values of E.C (121.86μS/cm), TDS (46.52mg/l), Na+ (1.48mg/l), Cl- (53.85mg/l), NO3- (1.17mg/l), HNO3- (0.39mg/l), SO42- (0.12mg/l), Cr2- (0.031), and Ni- (0.0074) conforms with the WHO (2011) and NSQW (2007) standard for drinking water expect some physiochemical parameters : Ca2+, Mg2+ Cd-, Pb2+, E.Coli and Coliform which has average values (4.49mg/l, 3.10mg/l, 0.027mg/l, 0.016mg/l, 1.36 X 103 (cfu/100mL)and 1.06 X 103 (cfu/mL) which do not conform with the WHO (2011) and NSQW (2007) for drinking water because of many factors and anthropogenic activities on the environment which contaminated the groundwater of the study areas. The results analysed from the three-study area reveals that the physiochemical parameters and microbiological parameters show similar trend. The water sample collected in the premises of University of Benin is more acidic compare to other water samples from the other locations. This probably due to the presence of decayed organic matter in high amounts and mineral acids produced during hydrolysis.

The association between systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is a described but rare situation and usually occurs in cases with intense lupus activity and renal impairment. It may occur in less than 2% of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus. We present below a case of SLE that abruptly debuts an episode of PTT de aggressive course, treated in an interdisciplinary way with plasma exchanges and immunosuppressants and immunomodulators.

This study investigated the economic and environmental impact of poultry production in Ilorin, Kwara State. Primary data were used and a sample of 120 poultry farmers through a multistage sampling technique was drawn from the study. The data collected were analysed using descriptive statistics, gross margin analysis, OLS regression model and Likert-type scale. The results show that the enterprise incurred an average total variable cost of N135,450.0 and total revenue within the period was estimated to be N192,323.80 which was mainly generated from the sales of poultry birds. The gross margin was found to be N56,873.8 with N0.4199 can be obtained with a unit increase in the poultry production capacity. Thus, the broiler production is a profitable venture in the study area. The empirical finding based on the regression result indicate that, cost of labour, cost of chicks and marital status had positive coefficient and statistically significant in influencing the total revenue level. It means that any increase in their value will increase the revenue level. The result of vaccine/medication administered against diseases revealed that most of the poultry farmers uses Lasota vaccine (88%) against Newcastle disease, a combination of amprolium and coccimapro (27%) each for Coccidiosis, pox off (88%) for fowl pox disease, Gumboro vaccine (65%) for IBD gumboro and their sources of getting the medication/vaccines are majorly from Aromokeye agro vet and One step pharmacy. The analysis shows that among the various ways of waste management, the farmers uses the waste more for fertilizer (28%) followed by selling them (23%) while only (21%) of the farmers burn the waste (especially the dead birds) so as to prevent further spread of diseases on the farm. The empirical findings based on the environmental impact of poultry production reveals that waste generation is the major negative environmental impact of poultry production in the study area. Offensive odour also associated with poor waste management is ranked 2nd, diseases transmission, air pollution and water pollution are among the environmental impact of poultry production in the study area. Poor management system is perceived to be the major constraint, lack of security and government support ranked 2nd is seen as a problem.

Agricultural and agro-industrial activities generate large quantities of waste which are harmful to the environment. This waste, rich in organic matter, can be recycled and transformed by biotechnological processes which constitute a solution of choice for remedying pollution problems. The aim of this study is the treatment of the organic fraction of waste by anaerobic digestion, which consists of degradation in the absence of oxygen of the organic matter into a mixture of methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2) called biogas. For this we have chosen the following samples (manure ; manure mixed in bananas, oranges, lemons, potatoes and tomatoes ; manure mixed in breads, zucchinis, carrots, cucumbers and strawberry). We used a biogas plants based on simple tools. Among these samples, the T container (manure) the most productive mixture of biogas and the T (manure) and F2 mixture (manure + breads + zucchinis + carrots + cucumbers + strawberry) degraded faster than the F1 manure + mixture (bananas, oranges, lemons, potatoes and tomatoes). The micromycetes that these samples contain are Penicillium italicum, Penicillium digitatum, Rhizopus sp, Mucor, Aspergillus sp, Cladosporium. Micromycetes give good biogas yield. The genus Aspergillus accelerates the degradation of organic matter. Anaerobic digestion not only prevents pollution, but also produces energy, compost and replenishes nutrients. Anaerobic digestion can turn a waste problem into a source of wealth. This technology is becoming essential in the process of reducing waste and producing biogas, a source of renewable energy.

The health effects caused by pollution released into the environment is a continual problem facing the survival of sensitive species on our planet. Even though legislation regulates energy industries in many countries, the continual release of pollutants, such as heavy metal accumulation and persistent organic pollutants, are impacting climate change which will lead to social and cultural changes. These changes will continue to negatively impact both regional and global environments. There is a need for a combination of a One Health ecosystem interdisciplinary approach with an Environmental Justice ethic in order to maintain our ecosystems and the communities which they support at optimal health levels globally.

Degradation and solubilisation of plant organic wastes using P. pulmonarius is a recycling technology that could be explored and adopted in developing countries. The test substrates; saw dust (SD), sugarcane bagasse (SB) and maize stalk (MS) and in combination (SD+MS, SD+SB, SB+MS, SD+MS+SB) contained polysaccharides that were degraded by P. pulmonarius. The hemicelluloses, cellulose and lignin contents of the agro-wastes were significantly (P<0.05) degraded by the fungus to varying degrees. The loss of hemicelluloses content of the substrates ranged from 24.98% with MS substrate to 44.02% with SB substrate, cellulose content from 16.13% with SD substrate to 32.79% with SB substrate and lignin content from 8.07 % with SB substrate to 31.25% with MS substrate indicating that the fungus can not only efficiently degrade agricultural wastes and grow at a wide range of substrates but also of importance in biodegradation and bioremediation of a wide range of wastes and pollutants.

The global community is divided on economic status. The conditions of the poor communities are critical, especially in developing and underdeveloped nations. Most of these nations belong to the Asian, African, and South American continents. The nations from these continents owe rich natural heritage and cultural diversity. The eco-cultural ethos embedded in the indigenous customs and traditions of these nations has global relevance in the modern age of information. It is fact that the solution to any environmental challenge exists in the cultural roots of the nation. India is one of such nations which inhabit diverse eco-culture. The purpose of this paper is to understand the natural heritage of rural India and the local conservation practices prevalent in the rural communities to achieve the targets of UN SDGs. Undoubtedly, nature conservation and environment protection involve social dimensions connected to the local ecological setup. The eco-centric approach of the Indian culture lies in the concepts of ‘Vasudhaiv Kutubkam’ (Earth is one family), ‘Aranya Sanskriti’ (Forest Culture), and the ‘Prakriti Purush’ (Natural Human) which are deeply embedded in the traditions and the customs of the Indian society. Based on traditional conservation practices, the community manages the local natural heritage. The diversity of customs and traditions results in the vividness of the conservation practices. Thus, the socio-ecological systems could be used for site-specific conservation programs and policies.

Maximum industry uses groundwater which is consumed for cooling, product treatment and cleaning, processing, boiler make-up, etc. To assess the industrial water quality, the groundwater samples were collected from pre-monsoon and post-monsoon periods and investigated some selected water parameters. The lower values of pH, Cl-, SO42-, CO32, and NO3-; and the higher levels of total dissolved solids, water hardness, total alkalinity, Ca2+, HCO3-, copper, and iron were the dominant chemical characteristics in the study area. This water chemistry proved that the circulated and feed cooling water have a less corrosive tendency, but it produced scale in equipment. Approximately 100% of the samples were less suitable for the wood, food, paper, and sugar industries, and about 85% of the samples were unsuitable for the canned fruit and polymer industries. The storability and corrosion potential of water were assessed using several indexes based on analyzed water parameters. The results revealed that the bicarbonate regulating index values of the samples indicated a moderate to strong corrosive nature, whereas there was a less scale-forming tendency for boiler use. The study observed the need to continually monitor the corrosion potentiality in industrial systems and conduct laboratory analysis to maintain water quality standards including pH, alkalinity, Ca2+, and HCO3- to control corrosion and scale generation.

The study observed the need to continually monitor the corrosion potentiality in industrial systems and conduct laboratory analysis to maintain water quality standards including pH, alkalinity, Ca2+, and HCO3- to control corrosion and scale generation.","PeriodicalId":404059,"journal":{"name":"Pollution and Effects on Community Health","volume":"181 ","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120973175","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
This study was carried out to determine the concentration of Fe, Co, Mn and Ag in the fish, sediment and water from Adada River. The result thus obtained showed the hierarchal arrangement of the heavy metal from the locations. Akpugo Fish (Fe>Mn>Ag>Co, Sediments Fe>Mn>Co>Ag and Water Co>Ag>Mn=Fe, Aku Fish Fe>Mn>Co>Ag. Sediments Fe>Mn>Co>Ag and Water Ag>Co>Mn=Fe, Lejja Fish Fe>Mn>Co>Ag. In the sediments Fe>Mn>Co>Ag and water Ag>Co>Mn=Fe. The result indicates that these heavy metals studied were all detected in sediments, fish and water except that there was complete absence of Mn and Fe in all water collected from the three sites. This suggests pollution of the river which may pose a threat to the aquatic organism.

The study was undertaken within the Satna and Rewa districts of Madhya Pradesh. the planning one-shot-case study under the ex-post-facto approach was used for this research study. The districts and therefore the tahsils both were selected randomly. Two blocks from each district and 6 grama panchayat with 8 members from each block selected randomly. Thus, a complete of 192-gram panchayat members from 24 villages were selected for the study. Data was collected by personally interviewing the respondents with the assistance of a specially designed and pretested schedule. Statistical methods like mean, variance, coefficient of correlation, multiple regressions were used for the analysis of knowledge. it had been concluded that the bulk of gram panchayat members had a medium role perception of the functioning of Gram panchayat. it had been found that the majority of the gram panchayat members had a medium perception of their role within the administration, agricultural functions, health care functions, administrative functions, welfare functions, public work functions defense and vigilance functions, and other functions. While educational and cultural functions perceived is within the high category. it's observed that the independent variables viz., age, caste, landholding, annual income, socio-economic status, social participation, achievement motivation, mass media exposure, cosmopoliteness, linkage with development agencies, and knowledge were positively and significantly related with role perception. multiple correlation analysis the role perception of gram Panchayat members was found significantly related with age, annual income, and linkage with development agency
