Abstract

The interface between surface water and groundwater is becoming more complex owing to the effects of climate change and anthropogenic activities these days. In this study, the physicochemical; pH, color, electrical conductivity, total dissolved solids, and turbidity while bacteriological parameters; total and fecal coliform of water samples from River Gashua and its surrounding wells in Gashua local government area of Yobe State were assessed. All the physicochemical parameters were analyzed using water quality standards. Fecal and total coliforms were assayed using the filter membrane technique. The results obtained from the physicochemical parameters of Boreholes (BH1, BH2, and BH3) and hand pump wells (HPW1, HPW2, and HPW3) are within the World Health Organization (WHO) standards. However, the river (R) water sample was found to have a high concentration in total dissolved solids, turbidity, and color than permissible standards. Bacteriological analysis revealed the presence of total and fecal coliform in the water samples; R, BH2, BH3, HPW1, HPW2, and HPW3. The findings indicate that there is a need to protect the quality of the river system. Therefore, it is recommended that government and other stakeholders should take appropriate and corrective actions to avert the continuous discharge of waste products into the river. Again, Yobe State Ministry of Environment should ensure that all public boreholes are routinely subjected to appropriate water assays to ascertain their suitability for human consumption.

Abstract

This research aimed to assess the mycological indoor air quality of the grains’ grinding mills situated in the Dutse ultra-modern market. A simple random sampling method was employed to select nine (9) shops where grains are milled. Settle plate method through the use of fifty-four (54) sterile sabouraud dextrose agar (SDA) plates was adopted for fungal isolation in the morning, afternoon and evening. Fungal isolates were subsequently identified using standardized methods. Results obtained indicate that depending on the sampling period and operation status of the grinding mills, all the sampling points examined were heavily contaminated with total mean fungal load in the morning (4084 CFU/m3), evening (3867 CFU/m3), and afternoon (3818 CFU/m3). However, the mean fungal load obtained in the morning from shop C (6426 CFU/m3) was significantly different from other shops (p< 0.05) while the mean fungal loads obtained across all the shops in the afternoon and evening were not significantly different from each other (p> 0.005). Mucor plambeaus (22.22%), Aspergillus flavus (16.67%), Aspergillus niger (20.37%), Fusarium spp. (22.22%) and Penicillium spp. (18.52%) were isolated across the grinding mills. Results obtained indicate that depending on the time of the day and operation status of the grinding mills, the studied indoor environment allowed fungal aerosols to build up which could serve as a potential reservoir of fungal infections. It is therefore recommended that safety measures should be adopted with a view to reducing fungal pollution at the grains’ grinding mills.
