Abstract

In response to the challenges posed by organic soil contamination, a promising approach involves the application of biochar. This study investigates the effects of biochar derived from corncobs on soil organic matter, organic carbon, and soil microbial biomass carbon through one-factor factorial design experiments. Crushed corncobs were subjected to pyrolysis at 300 °C to produce corncobs-biochar, which was incrementally added to pots containing four different levels of paddy soils. Results indicated a significant enhancement (p<0.05) in the physicochemical composition of samples and improved acid degradation upon the addition of corncob-biochar with pH increasing from 1.3 in control to 9.10 in the highest treatment (TP4), along with notable improvements in electrical conductivity, cation exchange capacity, and organic carbon levels. The most effective biochar applications, TP3 and TP4, demonstrated improved nutrient retention and reduced soil acidity. This suggests that incorporating corncob-biochar into the soil can ameliorate acidic conditions and sequester carbon for future ecosystem use. In conclusion, amending soil with corncob-biochar demonstrates a notable enhancement in soil quality. The environmentally friendly application of corncob-biochar could be recommended by offering a sustainable and economically practical strategy for enhancing soil quality, addressing soil degradation, and promoting long-term agricultural productivity.

Abstract

The rapid increase in population has greatly intensified the requirement for safe and clean drinking water, giving rise to the widespread use of packaged sachet water, commonly known as “pure water” in Nigeria. However, issues concerning improper handling during production, distribution, and storage raise questions regarding possible contamination. This research analyzes the physicochemical and microbiological quality of sachet water in Dutse Metropolis, Nigeria, bears rising concerns over water safety and public health. Thirty (30) sachet water samples from ten popular brands were collected and analyzed for pH, turbidity, electrical conductivity (EC), total dissolved solids (TDS), total hardness, nitrite, chloride, and calcium concentration. All results showed that physicochemical parameters were within the limits set by the World Health Organization (WHO) and National Standard for Drinking Water Quality (NSDWQ). As noted, pH value was between 6.81 and 7.41, while turbidity was under the WHO suggested maximum of 5 NTU. Microbiological examination indicated the complete absence of total coliforms, Escherichia coli, and total bacterial count which shows good purification methods were applied. However, lack of heavy metal analysis poses a risk due to possible pollution from industrial effluents and agricultural runoff. The study still highlights the need for persistent surveillance and peri-regulation to warrant the safety of sachet water, primarily in metropolitan areas where the public water supply is deficient, while region possesses some encouraging findings. The results aim to assist stakeholders in evaluation assessment of sachet water while emphasizing the dire need to safeguard public health and safety.
