Baseline studies on the physico-chemical parameters and trace metals in cross river

Project Abstract

<p> </p><p>The studies of the physiochemical parameters and trace metals in this work has been investigated the samples were taken from two difference locations in Ibaka and James Town.</p><p>The samples were analysed and the results were discussed the physiochemical parameters determined are temperature, pH, DO, BOD, EC, TDS, TOC, PO43-, CL-, NO2-, NO3-, SO42-, Turbidity, Salinity, Acidity, Alkalinity and the trace metals. The temperature obtains from sample A is 280C and that of sample B is 300C during the sample collection, A was decreasing while B was increasing and the mean value obtain is 290C. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;</p><p>The mean value result for water analysis in NO3-, NO2-, and SO42- between A and B is 28.125, 0.034 and 6.38 which was within permissible standard obtain in W.H.O. The mean result for sediment analysis in NO3-, NO2-, and SO42- between A and B is 85, 6.4 and 94.35,this was not within the prescribe standard obtain in W.H.O. The result for particle size in sand % between A and B has the same range of 97.40 while the silt % of clay % was difference.</p> <br><p></p>
