Abstract

There is no doubt that waste in all ramifications disturbs the balance of nature. As a result of this, it will be of great importance to mankind if a way is devised to foretell how the effectiveness or otherwise of waste management can affect the lives of those living in an area. This work considers waste management in a holistic view and attempts to develop a model for the relationship between waste management/disposal method and its effect on the people living within a defined geographical location. Lagos which has a relatively high daily per capital domestic waste generation rate in Nigeria has not yet established a comprehensive waste management system. A municipal solid waste management is designed based on Nigerian situations at the end of which a model y=-0.6228x + 56.31 was obtained. This predicts that as waste disposal method becomes appropriate and adequate, the occurrence of different types of diseases decreases rapidly. This may be a very useful tool of waste management for the Government and an easier means of ensuring a healthier living environment for the masses.

Abstract

The geometric increase in a nation’s population vis- a- vis the increase in energy demand in order to power the various sectors of the economy is a source of concern to all citizens and sundry. This paper presents an overview on the alternative sources of power generation and its associated problems and prospects in Nigeria. It starts with historical review of development and demonstrates the reasons. It also goes further to explain the need for using coal, natural gas and hydro means for power generation. Following this, different sources of power generation approaches are compared in order to determine what source is best to consider and the possible energy harvesting means are reviewed. Furthermore, state of the art technology known as carbon capture system is developed and x- rayed. Finally, conclusions are drawn based on the reviewed documents cited in this paper and a research work is initiated.
