“…Individuals working in industries related to oil extraction, transportation, and cleanup efforts are at heightened risk of exposure to crude oil contaminants. Inhalation of volatile organic compounds, dermal contact with oil-coated surfaces, and ingestion of contaminated water during occupational activities can lead to various health issues (Kuch & Bavumiragira, 2019).…”

This abstract provides a concise summary of a comprehensive review paper investigating the multifaceted impacts of crude oil spills on water ecosystems. Delving into the chemical composition, mechanisms of water contamination, ecological consequences, human health implications, and mitigation strategies, the paper aims to offer a holistic perspective on the challenges and solutions associated with crude oil spills. The chemical composition analysis forms the foundation, unraveling the intricate interplay of hydrocarbons, heavy metals, and contaminants in oil-water interactions. The diverse mechanisms of water contamination, including spills and atmospheric deposition, highlight the dynamic pathways through which crude oil affects aquatic environments. Ecological impacts range from immediate disruptions to long-term alterations in biodiversity and habitat degradation, underscoring the vulnerability of ecosystems and the need for proactive conservation measures. Simultaneously, the paper delves into the spill's human health repercussions, emphasizing the interconnectedness of environmental and public health concerns. The exploration extends to preventive measures, emergency response strategies, and ongoing technological innovations. Stringent regulations, advanced monitoring technologies, and autonomous vehicles showcase the capacity for swift and effective spill mitigation. The restoration phase involves habitat rehabilitation, reintroduction of species, and community engagement, aiming to heal ecosystems and support affected communities. Technological innovations, from nanotechnology to blockchain, play a pivotal role in monitoring, containment, and cleanup efforts.

“…The study is an experimental research involving the collection and analysis of soil samples of both oil impacted and non-oil impacted soils in Port Harcourt. The research design for this study follows that of Nwaichi et al, (2016). The type of data used for this study include soil data that were derived from primary sources.…”

“…Dimkpa et al, (2020) asserted that engine oil affects moisture content in plant; reduces soil fertility; with most of the essential nutrients depleted, of which plants suffer the because there are no nutrients for plant uptake. Spilled crude-oil which is denser than water reduces and restricts permeability: organic hydrocarbons which fill the soil pores expel water and air, thus depriving the plant roots the highly needed water and air (Kuch & Bavumiragira, 2019). Changes in soil properties due to contamination with petroleum derived substances can lead to water and oxygen deficit as well as shortage to available forms of nitrogen and phosphorus (Ahmed & Fakhruddin, 2018).…”

Examined herein are the effects of oil spills on soil physicochemical characteristics in Port Harcourt, Rivers State. Experimental research design was adopted for the study. Soil samples were collected from oil imparted areas and compared with FEPA soil quality standards and control site. Using quadrat sampling technique five (5) oil impacted sites were selected for the experiment. The sites were picked purposively following the researchers’ knowledge of oil spill issues in the area hitherto. Soil samples were collected at depths of 0-15cm and 15-30cm respectively and sent to the lab, to check for the physicochemical properties. Multiple regression and ANOVA statistics were used to test the hypotheses. Analysis of soil samples showed that soils of Port Harcourt metropolis were sandy-loamy and very acidic with pH that ranged between 2-3.5. Cation Exchange Capacity, magnesium, potassium, nitrogen, calcium, and organic carbon content were very low and could not support agriculture. The regression model showed that, oil spillage has significant effect on the physicochemical content of soils in Port Harcourt at p<0.05 (R-.870; r2 .757). There was statistically significant difference in the spatiality of physicochemical characteristics of soils in the area. Prevention of further spills, phytoremediation and holistic agricultural planning are among the solutions advanced in the study.

“…The growing need and desire for energy from petroleum crude oil globally with the attendant unruly exploration and production operations have contributed to the pollution of its operation's environment Kuch and Bavumiragira, (2019). The consequences of these operations are normally and generally attributed to poor production management, pipeline and equipment failures due to aging and faulty designs.…”

The evolution of illegal refining was briefly discussed leading to an experimental research of its effects on cassava plant which is a major staple food in the region. Two deactivated illegal refinery sites were selected for the studies; cassava plant (tubers, stem and leaves) samples were taken from these sites with a control and then analyzed for the concentrations of Heavy Metals, BTEX, PAHs and THC. The results show that the mean concentration of heavy metals in cassava tuber were Pb (5.31±0.17 mg/kg), Cd (6.44±0.23mg/kg), Cr (5.25±0.02 mg/kg), As (9.27±0.04 mg/kg), Zn (5.30±0.17 mg/kg), Cu (4.17±0.06 mg/kg), Ni (13.52±0.01 mg/kg) and Co (40.66±0.00) (mg/kg) for site A; while site B has Pb (0.15±0.03 mg/kg), Cd (0.107±0.06 mg/kg), Cr (0.167±0.03 mg/kg), As (1.83±0.02 mg/kg), Zn (0.063±0.02 mg/kg), Cu (0.079±0.04 mg/kg), Ni (0.113±0.01 mg/kg) and Co (0.082±0.05 mg/kg). The mean concentration values of heavy metals in cassava tuber were higher than the control mean values. Plant Concentration Factor was also calculated from the studies. Result also showed higher mean concentration values of BTEX and PAHs for cassava plant (tuber, stem and leaves) when compared with control values and WHO permissible limits for plants. The overall result indicates the contamination and pollution of cassava plant from both studied sites due to illegal petroleum crude oil refining activities.
