1. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT OF INDUSTRIAL WATER POLLUTION
BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Water pollution is a major problem in the global context, and it has been suggested that is the leading worldwide cause of deaths and diseases (Ademoroti 1996). The growth of the major industrial cities also caused water pollutio...
2. AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE CHALLENGES OF POLLUTION AND AN ENGINEERING METHODS TO THE MANAGEMENT AND CONTROL OF INDUSTRIAL EFFLUENTS IN OTTA, NIGERIA
ABSTRACT
This study examined the effects of effluent discharges from various point-loads on a purposively selected receiving river, the self-recovery ability of the river and the treatability of both the discharges and the receiving stream in a heavily industrialized co...
3. POLLUTION PROBLEMS AND AN ENGINEERING APPROACH TO THE MANAGEMENT AND CONTROL OF INDUSTRIAL EFFLUENTS IN OTTA, NIGERIA
ABSTRACT

4. ASSESSMENT OF IMPACT OF DISCHARGED INDUSTRIAL EFFLUENTS ON PHYSICOCHEMICAL AND TRACE METAL POLLUTANTS OF ABA RIVER, ABA, NIGERIA
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....
5. EVALUATION OF HEAVY METALS, SOME ORGANIC AND MICROBIAL CONTAMINANTS IN THE EFFLUENTS FROM SOME FOOD INDUSTRIES IN ANAMBRA STATE, NIGERIA
ABSTRACT

6. REMOVAL OF HEAVY METALS FROM AQUEOUS SOLUTION USING ACTIVATED CARBON PREPARED FROM AGRICULTURAL WASTES
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM
Human activities have led to immense pollution of our environment especially the water bodies. This is as a result of the discharge of inorganic effluents from industries directly into the environment without treatment due to the high cost of establishing or maintai...
7. THE DEVELOPMENT AND EVALUATION OF ANALYTICAL PROCEDURES FOR THE DETERMINATION OF HEAVY METALS IN INDUSTRIAL EFFLUENTS
ABSTRACT
This project is concerned with the development and evaluation of an atomtrapping technique for determination of heavy metals in environmental samples. Modified atom-trapping technique using fabricated nickel tube/sample holder (crucible) was employed to increase the sensitivity...
