Abstract

This study investigates the concentration of trace metals in borehole, tap, and well water samples from Dawakin Kudu Local Government Area in Kano State, Nigeria. Understanding the levels of trace metals in these water sources is crucial for assessing potential health risks and ensuring safe drinking water for the local population. The samples undergo evaporation to dryness and are then pre-concentrated with 0.5 M nitric acid. The metals were analyzed using an atomic absorption spectrophotometer (AAS). The study found that all samples had iron concentrations, with the highest concentration in tap water (722.976 μg/L) and the lowest in well water (36.504 μg/L). Cadmium concentrations were highest in sample B (0.114 μg/L) and lowest in sample D (0.018 μg/L), all below WHO's permissible limit of 3 μg/L. Nickel concentrations were highest in sample C (0.336 μg/L), lowest in sample A (0.384 μg/L), and not in samples B and D (0.384 μg/L). Lead concentrations were only detected in samples A and B (0.384 μg/L), all below WHO's permissible limit of 10 μg/L. Iron was high compared to the permissible level of trace metal in water, but only in sample C, among all the samples, sample C is the safest water for drinking.

Abstract

Heavy metals contamination in aquatic ecosystems is a critical environmental issue with far-reaching implications for ecological health and human safety, Heavy metal pollution in aquatic ecosystems is a pressing environmental concern, posing significant risks to aquatic life and human health. This review summarizes the toxic effects of heavy metals (HMs) on aquatic organisms, ecosystems, and human consumers. The study explores the sources, fate, and transport of HMs in aquatic environments, highlighting their bioaccumulation, biomagnification, and ecological impacts. Remediation strategies, including phytoextraction, bioaugmentation, and chemical treatment, are critically eval_uated. Emerging technologies, such as Nano remediation and bioremediation, offer promising solutions. The study showed heavy metal pollution in aquatic ecosystems is a significant environmental challenge that requires coordinated efforts from governments, industries, and communities to mitigate its impacts and protect water quality and aquatic life. By addressing the sources and effects of heavy metals in aquatic habitats, we can mitigate their impact on the environment and human health, ensuring the sustainability of these vital ecosystems.

Abstract

In recent times, the use of sugarcane bagasse as reinforcement in plastic composites has been receiving greater scientific attention due to its abundance, light weight and good mechanical properties. This research has investigated the mechanical properties of the composite by hardness strength, impact strength, chemical resistant test, and water absorption test with different particle size and loading of sugarcane bagasse (SCB) as reinforcement in unsaturated polyester resin (UPR) composite. Bagasse fiber was treated with sodium hydroxide (10%), potassium permanganate (5%), hydrogen peroxide (5%) to enhance better adhesion between the fiber and the matrix. Sugarcane bagasse reinforced unsaturated polyester resin composite was prepared using the compression molding technique, the mold was undergoing a curing process for 5 minutes with 1300 c and 2.5Mpa of pressure. The result of the mechanical properties were eval_uated, the mechanical properties (flexural strength, hardness strength) increases with increase in bagasse content while the impact strength increase and then decreases, the maximum mechanical properties was obtained from the composite made of 400µ and 25 wt% fiber loading compared with the control sample. The improvement in the mechanical properties is attributed to the extent of good interaction between the fiber and the matrix. The composite show increase in water absorption with increasing fiber loading and increasing number of days up to when the samples reaches their saturation when no water absorption was observed, 25wt% of 710µ has the highest absorption and this is due to its bigger particle size and fiber loading. The mechanical and physical properties shows that the composite has potential applications in structural materials such as particle board, fiber board, library shelf’s, partitioning panels, ceiling boards.

Abstract

Soil is a part of the earth that is made up of various mixtures, including organic matter, minerals, gases, liquids, and organisms that together support life. Because soil is used to cultivate foods for animals worldwide, it plays a critical role in the global cultivation of wheat, rice, mustard, vegetables, and fruits, among other crops. Nigerian agriculture uses this soil, and the physical and chemical conditions of the land make it necessary to implement other management practices properly. For this reason, the physicochemical study of soil is very significant because it considers both the physical and chemical properties that affect soil productivity. This study the parameters of soil in order to improve the agricultural activities. The result of study shows that the Physicochemical properties of the soil samples at Farin Gada reveals that temperature of soil were found to be 27oC, pH ranges from 6.38±0.09 to 7.47±0.50, conductivity ranges from 0.15±0.01 to 0.42±0.08, Moisture Contents ranges from 0.48±0.82 to13.17 ±0.8, Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC) ranges from0.53±0. to 0.54±0.86 and the organic matter ranges from 13.51±0.79 to 43.24±0.82, respectively.

This study investigates the physicochemical parameters of ten hand-dug wells in Rimi Sumaila L.G.A. of Kano State. The parameters studied were pH, electrical conductivity, hardness, alkalinity, and turbidity. As a result of the studies, pH was between 7.18 and 8.55. The result shows that some areas, including Kofar Gabas, Kofar Kudu, Kofar Arewa, Company I, Company II, Company III, U.Kachaka, U.Dukawa, and U.Kuka, are alkaline in nature, while the pH in Kofar Yamma was 7.18, which is neutral. The electrical conductivity shows variation, such that the lowest value of conductivity was observed in Company III at 142 µS/cm, while the highest value was observed at Kofar Gabas at 708 µS/cm. The hardness was ranged between 173 and 370 mg/L. The highest values were observed at Kofar Gabas, and the lowest values were observed at Ukuka. The total hardness of water is the total soluble magnesium and calcium salts present in the water, expressed as CaCO3. The alkalinity analyzed ranged between 14 and 38 mg/L. The highest values were observed at U. Dukawa and the lowest values were observed at U. Kachaka, and the turbidity of the water analyzed ranged between 1 and 8.3 NTU. The highest values were observed at Company I, and the lowest values were observed at K. Arewa and U. Kuka.
