Spatial and Seasonal Variation of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) in Ambient Air of an Open Dumpsite, Benin City, Southern Nigeria

J. M. Okuo & A. Ighodaro · Physical Science International Journal · 2019

Volatile organic compounds in municipal solid waste dumpsites are considered as one of the major issues in recent years. Open burning is also very common, which emits volatile organic compounds and pose a serious threat to the associated environment. Air samples were collected by...

Impact of Carbonised Briquette on the Fractionation of Trace Metals in Dumpsite Soils

U. Ugbune, J. M. Okuo & T. E. Idu · Chemical Science International Journal · 2018

Increase in domestic and industrial waste increases the concentration of trace metals in dumpsites soil. The level of trace metal concentration of dumpsite soil needs to be analysed for proper metal contamination management. Soil metal contamination can be managed using organic m...
