“…According to Kim et al (2002), the pH of this range may be attributed to the effects of bicarbonates, geology of the area and the buffering capacity of the water system. This result is in line with those reported by Koffi et al (2014) and Mohamed and Zahir (2013) at Ivory Coast and India, respectively, but higher than the value 5.0 and 5.2 reported by Chiamsathit et al (2020) from Thailand. The values of electrical conductivity of water in the dry season were generally higher than the wet season; however, statistical analysis showed that the means were not different (p > 0.05) from each other.…”

“…According to WHO (1996), the concentration of TDS in water from natural sources varies from 30 to 600 mg/L depending on the solubility of minerals in the different geological regions. The results of TDS in this study are similar to those reported by Amfo-Out et al (2012) at the Ga East Municipality of Ghana but higher than those reported by Chiamsathit et al (2020) from Thailand.…”

“…The HPI was calculated using the following equation (Mohan et al 1996;Milivojević et al 2016;Chiamsathit et al 2020): where Q i is the subindex of the ith parameter, W i is the unit weight of the ith parameter and n is the number of parameters considered; the subindex (Q i ) of the parameter is where V i is the monitored value of metal of ith parameter and S i the standard value.…”

et al. 2021

The concentration of seven heavy metals in water samples was analyzed along the southwest coast of Ghana in the wet and dry seasons using atomic absorption spectrophotometer. Some physicochemical properties of the water samples were also determined to assess the quality of the water. The ranges of metal concentration in water in the wet season were; As (1.23–7.84 µg/L), Cu (4.10–24.09 µg/L), Pb (4.08–57.98 µg/L), Se (BDL-0.38 µg/L), Zn (2.86–17.75 µg/L) and Hg (0.023–0.068 µg/L), whereas the ranges of metal concentration in the dry season were; As (2.30–5.78 µg/L), Pb (25.47–70.73 µg/L), Se (0.081–0.158 µg/L), Zn (0.79–22.80 µg/L) and Hg (0.004–0.047 µg/L). The results of physicochemical properties of water in the wet season were pH (6.83 to 7.52), EC (291.15–780.64 µS/cm), TDS (195.07–523.02 mg/L), DO (2.98–4.39 mg/L), BOD (3.33 to 6.84 mg/L), salinity (0.01 to 0.30 ppt) and temperature (27.06–30.94 °C), whereas the dry season recorded the ranges of pH (6.84–6.95), EC (516.83 to 660.67 µS/cm), TDS (307.07–442.65 mg/L), DO (1.71–3.04 mg/L), BOD (4.25–13.38 mg/L), salinity (0.22–0.28ppt) and temperature (28.46–30.44 °C). The results showed that the concentration of heavy metals in water was below the WHO standard except Pb which exceeded the limit. The mean heavy metal pollution index (HPI) were 130 and 143 for wet and dry seasons, respectively, indicating that the water HPI was above the critical limit (HPI > 100), hence unfit for drinking. All the physicochemical properties analyzed were within the WHO permissible limits except BOD.

“…Bonferroni pairwise multiple comparisons showed no significant difference (p > 0.05) between the main water sources and their controls. The results of pH values in all sources of water in this study were higher than those reported by Chiamsathit et al (2020) in Thailand. The mean conductivity of the water samples ranged from a minimum of 246.8±88.9µS/cm (borehole) to a maximum of 4618.9±673.0µS/cm (Seawater).…”

This study assessed heavy metals (Lead (Pb), Nickel (Ni), Iron (Fe), Chromium (Cr), and Cadmium (Cd)) concentration in water (from borehole, hand-dug well and the sea) and fish (Cynoscion regalis and Pomatomus saltatrix species) and possible health risk exposure by the consumption of these fishes. A total of 18 samples of water and samples of two species of fish (C. regalis and P. saltatrix) were collected from Jomoro, Ellembelle and Ahanta West District and analyzed for the concentration of Pb, Ni, Fe, Cr, and Cd using Atomic Absorption Spectrometer (AAS). Results revealed appreciable concentrations of Pb, Ni, and Fe in the fish muscle and Ni, Cr, and Fe in water. Cadmium and Cr were not detected in the fish samples. Heavy metals in fish increased in the order Pb < Ni < Fe. The Estimated Daily Intake of fish value for adult ranged 1.88 x 10-3 to 2.03 x 10-1 (mg/kg bw/day), however, those for children were 4.40 x 10-3 to 4.74 x 10-1(mg/kg bw/day). For health risk assessment, the Total Targeted Hazard Quotient for adults was < 1; however, those for children were >1 for C. regalis but less than 1 (< 1) for P. saltatrix meaning children who consume C. regalis are exposed to health risk in their life time. The results confirmed that contaminated environments could result in bioaccumulation of metal pollutants in fish's muscle, which poses a health risk to humans when consumed. Awareness and education of the general public on the threshold of heavy metals in fish and water are crucial to safeguard against health risks.

This study was aimed to investigate the effects of petroleum waste in wastewater and local environment in Melut and Maban Counties in South Sudan. Population of the study is 30,000 people. 265 respondents were selected randomly as a sample of the study. Variables were, wastewater status of citizen, health and effects on the local environment. Data were collected through survey, involving (primary data) which were collected by using questionnaire and (laboratory data) which were collected from waste water in three locations. (SPSS) was used for primary data analysis by using descriptive statistics, while for the laboratory data, Atomic absorption Spectroscopy (AAS700) was used for detecting Hg, As, Pb, Fe and Mn elements levels in wastewater samples. Findings of the primary data showed 94.1% of residents’ respondents noticed the decrease of rains in the study area and 65.9% of them noticed the decrease of temperature. 86.2% of public health employees respondents reported defections of newly born children, 93.8% of them reported infant’s mortality. 90.8% of them reported infertility infections. 75.4% of them reported eyes and skin allergy infections and 66.2% of them reported teeth decay and hair falling infections. 67.7% of the national resource’s employees’ respondents noticed animals drink the wastewater and 83.1% of them reported the death of birds around the petroleum pits. while the laboratory data indicates presence of (Hg, As and Pb) in higher levels compared to the normal international allowed one in wastewater, and the level of (Fe and Mn) were lower. Recommendations are includes avoiding using wastewater near the petroleum wells, treatment of the wastewater for human and animals using and Petroleum companies must abide to the rules of the petroleum work and they have to contribute in the development of local community and awareness.
