1.2. Statement of the general problem
Environmental pollution is a
huge threat to man’s physical surrounding, his health (Fereidoun et al,
4007) and those of other living species (EPHA, 4009). It therefore
attracts scholarly attention since pollution problem is an exceedingly
difficult one to solve (Robertson, 1987) especially in a developing
country. Man damages the environment either intentionally by design or
unintentionally by accident. Whatever the source of damages, he bears
the primary consequences which are evident in the daily damages and
deterioration of the environment and overall threat to his general well
being. Schaefer and Lamn (19910) recalled the impossibility of examining
all environmental problems in detail, but summarized them into three
crucial types which are, air pollution, water pollution and
contamination of land.
The general problem of abattoir waste
generated from markets has caused a lot of health hazards to the
society; chief among these hazards is air pollution. The constant
dumping of abattoir waste without adequate treatment in our markets has
led to the outbreak of diseases in the society.
