- W4307996633 abstract "The Heavy metal Pollution Index (HPI), Metal Index (MI) and the Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon (PAH) contents of crude oil-polluted Ochani River in Ejamah-Ebubu community were investigated using physicochemical properties, Heavy Metal Analytic Method (AAS), GC-MS method and heavy metal pollution model. The results showed that Ochani River sampling station 2 (ORPS 2) had highest values of temperature, conductivity, turbidity, total solid (TS), total dissolved solid (TDS), Total Suspended Solid (TSS), Dissolved Oxygen (DO), Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) and nitrates with values as (32oC, 260 µScm-1, 42NTU, 460 mg/L, 526 mg/L, 400 mg/L, 15 mg/L, 10 mg/L, 25 mg/L and 7.5 mg/L respectively) compared to Ochani River sampling station 1 (ORPS 1) with values as (30oC, 200 µScm-1, 38NTU, 400 mg/L, 500 mg/L, 380 mg/L, 13 mg/L, 9.0 mg/L, 22 mg/L and 6.8mg/L respectively). However, these values of ORPS 1and 2 were higher than the unpolluted water sample (UWS) and WHO standard limits. Heavy metals obtained in Ochani River were rankedas Fe > Cu >Pb> Zn > Cr > Cd >As. The values obtained from crude oil polluted water samples were highest when compared with the values obtained of the UWS and WHO standard limit. The heavy metal pollution index of Ochani River was calculated as 402.32 mg/L which was higher compared with the critical pollution index value of 100. The metal index obtained was 49.88mg/L showing that the water quality classified to be seriously polluted. The Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon (PAH) components present in Ochani River include fluorene, naphthalene, dibenzyl(a,h)anthracene, benzo(k)fluoranthene and benzo(a)pyrene. However, these values of PAH components obtained were highest in ORPS 2 compared to ORPS 1. No PAH content was detected in UWS. However, the values of PAH obtained in both ORPS 1 and 2 were higher compared with WHO standard limit. In conclusion, Ochani River which is an important river used for irrigation and domestic activities by the populace in that community, is highly polluted with heavy metals and carcinogenic PAHs. We therefore recommend that Ochani River is unsafe for drinking, domestic and agricultural activities of the community where it is sited." @default.
