Statement of the Problem
The industrialization act of 1976 forced the doors open for the multiplication and establishment of small and medium scale industries in Nigeria alongside residential areas. This development gave birth to industrial clusters near the homes of the industrialists. The attendant problem was the ready contamination of the environment by the processing, harvested and waste products. Multiplication of small and medium scale industries lead to mismanagement of the generated wastes. The available rivers in the areas had to serve as the only disposal outlet for the wastes which included solid particles, liquid effluents, and other contaminants which are disposed through the back gates of these industries. The city of Aba, an industrial nerve centre of the South Eastern Nigeria emerged 'postwar-Japan' of Igboland that had industrial clusters sited near the Aba River, which had to battle with environmental pollution and contamination problems (Adebisi and Fayemiwo, 2010). Monitoring of the pollution load of the effluents from the agro-based industries becomes necessary from the above reasons. Also the determination of health risks implications using Telferria occidentalis and Talirum triangulare leaves planted at the Aba River side as an index will x – ray the harzards associated with the effluents carried into Aba River.
