CHAPTER ONE - [ Total Page(s): 3 ]6 Significance of the study This study is important because it serves as a medium through which numerous problems associated with the waste dumpsite can be address. This is also necessary because it is hoped that through its outcome, the magnitude of the environmental contamination in the study area will be highlighted. The outcome of the study may also give the government to appreciate waste management strategies and controls measures over indiscriminate dumping of waste. Furthermore, it is hoped that the findings of this study will motivate other interested researcher in and ou ... Continue Reading
CHAPTER TWO - [ Total Page(s): 11 ]Usually, the main reason for the presence of heavy metals in landfill leachate is the lack of awareness among the people. A lot of hazardous waste such as clinical bandages, batteries and medicine are found in the refuse sent to landfills (Hamidi et al., 2003). Also, heavy metals such as iron, manganese, zinc, chromium, lead, copper and cadmium are present in high concentrations in the landfill leachate. These minerals can cause pollution to groundwater, surface water and reservoirs (Aziz et al., 2004). 2.3.3 Leachate composition The composition of leachate is dependent on the location and con ...

CHAPTER FOUR - [ Total Page(s): 4 ]Superscripts a, b and c show that the values are significantly different while all the values bearing the same letter shows there no significant difference. The pH for Okefomo was 7.63 ± 0.16, Sawmill was 8.71 ± 0.15 and Irewolede was 7.79 ± 0.33 respectively. When pH of the three locations were compared, Okefomo and Irewolede were not significantly different while Sawmill was found to be different from both Okefomo and Irewolede (p ... Continue Reading
CHAPTER FIVE - [ Total Page(s): 2 ]CHAPTER FIVE5.0 DISCUSSION, CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS5.1 Discussion of FindingsThe thrust of the study was on the physico-chemical component on dump leachate sample in Ilorin metropolis at the level of impact on the ambient environment. The findings revealed that turbidity, pH and temperature of leachate in study area show significant value. This means that the values of pH and temperature of leachate in study area are such that can exalt negative influence on people. With respect to pH, Okefomo and Irewolede were not different while Sawmill was different from both Okefomo and Irewo ... Continue Reading
