- W2136017012 abstract "Little has been documented on the hidden relationship between environmental factors and pollutants spreading from municipal dumpsites in Zimbabwe (DNR, 1993; Chenje et al, 1998; Masocha, 2004), yet such information can be useful for urban land use planning purposes to safeguard both people and the environment against pollution and its related effects. This study aims to evaluate the role of environmental factors in the distribution of pollutants around Gweru dumpsite. It also determined whether there is a significant (p<0.05) relationship between the concentration levels of lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), and sulphides (SO2) and environmental factors - specifically slope, soil bulk density, stream flow direction, soil infiltration rate, and distance from the dumpsite. Geographical Information Systems (GIS) was used to input process and analyze both spatial and attribute data. The Principal Components Analysis (PCA) revealed that there is a significant (p<0.05) relationship between the concentration levels of Pb and SO2 and Principal Component 2 (PC2) consisting of slope and infiltration rate. This means that the spread of pollutants (Pb and SO2) around the dumpsite can be traced back to the dump and is directly linked to both slope and soil infiltration rate. It is recommended that further research be done to find possible factors responsible for the spread of cadmium, which could not be explained by the Principal Components Analysis for city planners to get a fuller picture of the situation." @default.
