Abstract:

The concentrations, distributions, and associated risks of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in soils of dumpsite and its vicinities were investigated. Composite samples were taken from the dumpsite and distances (15, 30, 60, 90, 120m) away from the foot of the dumpsite; as well as from a control site (2000m away). The determinations of PAHs were done with gas chromatography couple to mass spectrometer (GC-MS) after extractions with dichloromethane (DCM) and a silica gel clean-up. Total PAHs (Σ16PAHs) concentrations in the dumpsite soil and that of the control were 930.05, and 31.15 µg/k

Dumping of refuse in poorly sited dumpsites is a major problem in Nigeria, especially in rural areas, and this poses a potential hazard to the health of people around and the environment. These dumpsites provide a suitable breeding site for many microorganisms, flies, mosquitoes, hookworm, and some rodents which transmit diseases. Therefore, the study was designed to determine the composition of refuse at LEA primary school dumpsite, Woodwox dumpsite, Solid rock refuse dump, Sector F refuse dump, Tudun wada refuse dumpsite in Lugbe and the effects of the dumps on the health of the residents.

The bacteria content of leachate concentration in open dumpsite is a threat to man and its environment if not properly managed. One of the negative impacts of bacteria in leachate is that it may pollute water system which may lead to diseases if not prevented. In this study, the leachate concentrates were collected from five different location of open dumpsite in Gwagwalada town and examined bacteriologically. Using pour plate method, bacteria were counted and isolated. Biochemical tests and Molecular identification of bacteria isolate based on DNA extraction, DNA quantification and 16S rRNA A

This study investigates eggshell waste generation and management practices in Kaduna Metropolis, Nigeria. Data were collected from various wards to determine the eggshell generation rate and examine waste management practices. Results show a high eggshell waste generation rate, particularly in urban wards with dense food vendor populations. The annual eggshell waste generation rate in Kaduna Metropolis was found to be 32,667.08 kg. Majority of eggshell waste generated end up in open dumpsite (85.4%) which reflects a poor eggshell waste management practice, the waste management practice in Kadu

Abstract:

Solid waste management is commonly seen in Nigeria as simply pick up the waste and go dump it in a hole somewhere. Hence the current major solid waste management method in Nigeria is disposal at dumpsite. The solid waste management practice at the dumpsite is simple. The waste disposal trucks drive into the dumpsites through the access roads and dump their waste. Other vehicles that deliver waste to the site simply dump their waste indiscriminately by the road sides. The workers at the dumpsites use shovel to manually push the waste from the road and try to spread them as much as their strengt

<em>Municipal solid waste collection is the gathering of solid waste (SW) from the point of production (residential, industrial, commercial, and institutional) to the point of treatment or disposal. Waste collection is the main component of waste management that links waste generators to the waste management system. Leachates arise as a result of the infiltration of precipitation to the interior of dumpsites and landfills, but at the same time water present in the wastes and released in different processes taking place in a dumpsite also contributes to the generation of leachates.
