Abstract

Quality water is very important for maintenance of healthy environment, to determine the safety of the water consumed in the environment, pH, Turbidity, electrical conductivity, Alkalinity and hardness of water samples borehole, tap and well were analyzed. The result of the study showed that the pH of the water samples were found to be 6.3borehole, 6.7 tap and 6.8 well water, Turbidity were found to be 0 borehole, 1 tap and 0(NTU) well water, while conductivity were found to be 401 borehole, 635 tap and 556(µS/cm), well water and Hardness were found to be 172borehole, 68 tap and 88 mg/ml well water . The physicochemical analysis carried out the pH of the water were found to be from 6.3 to 6.8 only two of the samples are below the ranges laid down by W.H.O which are sample A and D and in conductivity also two of the samples are above the limit which are sample B and C and for the total hardness all are below the permissible limit by the standard (W.H.O).

Abstract

The science of chemistry has been greatly impacted by environmental degradation, which has led to important breakthroughs and changed educational perspectives. This review highlights the role of chemists in tackling global environmental concerns by examining the diverse effects of environmental contamination on the study of chemistry. Green chemistry principles, which attempt to design safer chemicals and processes that limit waste and lessen detrimental environmental impacts, have been motivated by pollution. Environmental chemistry, which focuses on the behavior, consequences, and mitigation of pollutants, has emerged as a crucial sub-discipline as a result of the pressing need to address pollution. In addition, pollution has made it necessary to integrate interdisciplinary techniques, bringing together the fields of chemistry, biology, environmental science, and engineering to provide novel ways to pollution treatment and control. Educational curricula have evolved to incorporate these trends, emphasizing sustainable practices and the environmental implications of chemical processes. This review highlights how the growing awareness of environmental pollution continues to drive innovation and shape the future of chemical education and research, underscoring the importance of chemists in developing sustainable solutions to protect our planet.

Abstract

Heavy metals are essential element that are very important to the soil, their accumulation beyond the permissible limit causes a health risk as it may affect the soil and plants. Mining activities can generate large quantities of heavy metals laden waste which are released in an uncontrolled manner, causing widespread contamination of the ecosystem. Heavy metals are important for normal life psychological process and also provide enormous social and economic benefit to nations, the lung time adverse effect on the environment and public health cannot be overlooked This study investigates the presence of lead and cadmium metals hand dug well around gold mining areas of Rimi Local Government, Kano State. The metals determined were lead and chromium, and the permissible limit for lead in water is 0.1mg/L according to (WHO, 2008). By consideration with the WHO (2008) acceptable limit all the ten-hand dug well water in Rimi are beyond the permissible limit. The highest lead concentrations in water lead to several disease to body organs such as brain, kidney gastrointestinal tracts and central nervous system.

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.

Abstract

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.
