Evaluation of the Pollution Status of Lagos Coastal Waters and Sediments, using Physicochemical Characteristics, Contamination Factor, Nemerow Pollution Index, Ecological Risk and Potential Ecological Risk Index

Gloria Ekaete Ajani, Samuel Olatunde Popoola & Otolorin Opeyemi Oyatola · International Journal of Environment and Climate Change · 2021

The heavy metals and physicochemical properties of Lagos coastal waters and sediments, Southwestern Nigeria were investigated in 5 stations (station 1-5), to determine their levels, distributions and pollution index. The observed ranges of physicochemical characteristics from the...

Concentration of Selected Heavy Metals in Sediments and Liver of Wild African Catfish (Clarias gariepinus) in Lake Kanyaboli, Kenya

Omondi Cornel Akwiri, P. O. Raburu, O. J. B. Okeyo, F. Ramesh & F. O. Onyangore · Annual Research & Review in Biology · 2016

It is evident that high heavy metal concentrations in sediments are eventually magnified along the aquatic lives like fish hence affecting human health. The present study therefore sought to determine the concentration of some heavy metals in sediments and liver of Wild African C...
