Application of Index Models for Assessing Freshwater Microplastics Pollution
Available online at www.worldnewsnaturalsciences.com WNOFNS 38 (2021) 37-48 EISSN 2543-5426 Application of Index Models for Assessing Freshwater Microplastics Pollution Christian Ebere Enyoh1,*, Andrew Wirnkor Verla1, Md. Refat Jahan Rakib2 1Group Research in Analytical Chemistry, Environment and Climate change (GRACE&CC), Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Science, Imo State University, Owerri, Nigeria 2Department of Fisheries and Marine Science, Faculty of Science, Noakhali Science and Technology University, Noakhali, Bangladesh *E-mail address: [email protected] ABSTRACT Due to the differences in reporting units and methodology on microplastics (MP) studies, there has been some difficulty in comparing results across studies. In this study, we presented index models that can be address this issue. Index models for pollution and health risks assessment was applied to MP data obtained from rivers in Nwangele L.G.A. Models such as microplastics contamination factor (MPCF), microplastics pollution load index (MPPLI), Microplastics polymer risk indices (Hi) and pollution risk index (MPR) for pollution and contamination assessment. Health risk models such estimated daily intake (EDI) and microplastic carcinogenic risks (MPCR) through oral and dermal pathway were also presented and applied. Results showed that there is no direct correlation of MP abundance with MPR. However, Hi correlated but with MPR. Increased MPs pollution risks and levels were extensively subject to the presence of harmful MPs polymers, just as the high MPs pollution loads index (MPPLI). The index models enabled easy comparison of MP pollution of the different rivers and provided concise information on the status of MPs in the rivers.

Statistical Prediction of Gully Erosion Development on the Coastal Plain Sands of the South Eastern Nigeria
Nigerian Journal of Technology, Vol. 24, No. 2, September 2005 Nwakwasi and Tee 59 STATISTICAL PREDICTION OF GULLY EROSION DEVELOPMENT ON THE COASTAL PLAIN SANDS OF THE SOUTH EASTERN NIGERIA NWAKWASI, N.L., and TEE, D.P. Department of Civil Engineering, Federal University of Technology, Owerri, Nigeria ABSTRACT A statistical model for predicting gully initiation was developed using variables from 20 randomly selected sites. The random samples gave 10 gully sites and 10 non-gully sites. In all, 12 variables were identified but using students t-tests approach, only four variables contributed to gully development. These four variables include Maximum slope, Maximum slope length, Microrelief amplitude and percentage coarse sand. The four variables were combined through factor analysis and statistical manipulations to form Linear Discriminant Function (LDF). Three functions were obtained by combining the variables in three different ways. An application of the three functions to the field situation identified function 1,1 as a very comfortable prediction. When Yl was used to classify the various sites using the variables obtained from the field, a 25% wrong classification was obtained. This value was quite low when compared with the other two functions whose wrong classification ranged from 35% and above. It was observed from the study that when Yl is less than 30, it indicated little or no gully erosion threat. INTRODUCTION spatial distribution of rainfall as induced gully Today, in our country Nigeria, erosion menace formation in most of our towns and express the has become all object of discussion and a major need to adopt good planning and policy ecological problem facing the nation. -

E 3 and Agwunobi K. E 1Department of Microbiology, Federal University of Technology Owerri 2Department of Pharmacology, College of Medicine, Imo State University Owerri 3 Department of Medical Laboratory Science, College of Health and Management Sciences Amaigbo Nwangele ABSTRACT Microbiological and chemical quality of drinking water primarily results from water origin and type of applied water treatment. many infectious agents can be transmitted to humans through drinking water causing waterborne diseases, regular monitoring of drinking water quality in water supply systems is needed. This study investigates the microbiological quality of tanker water supplied to selected different local communities(Atta, Amaraku, Abajah) in Imo state during summer, Rainy and winter season for the period of the year June, 2017 to June, 2018. Since increased concentrations of some chemical compounds in water can influence on appearance and growth of microbiological populations, in this study relevant physicochemical parameters were also measured and correlated with obtained values of analyzed microbiological parameters. Physico-chemical parameters studied includes determination of the pH, temperature, turbidity, hardness, alkalinity, chlorides, fluorides nitrate, iron, silica levels in the water samples. The results obtained indicated that the chemical quality of the water samples under study falls within the standards recommended by World Health Organization. However, more potentially dangerous discovery was the level of Coliform contamination which exceeds the WHO standards. Other microorganisms detected were E. -
List of Community Banks Converted to Microfinance Banks As at 31St
CENTRAL BANK OF NIGERIA IMPORTANT NOTICE LIST OF COMMUNITY BANKS THAT HAVE SUCESSFULLY CONVERTED TO MICROFINANCE BANKS AS AT DECEMBER 31, 2007 Following the expiration of December 31, 2007 deadline for all existing community banks to re-capitalize to a minimum of N20 million shareholders’ fund, unimpaired by losses, and consequently convert to microfinance banks (MFB), it is imperative to publish the outcome of the conversion exercise for the guidance of the general public. Accordingly, the attached list represents 607 erstwhile community banks that have successfully converted to microfinance banks with either final licence or provisional approval. This list does not, however, include new investors that have been granted Final Licences or Approvals-In- Principle to operate as microfinance banks since the launch of Microfinance Policy on December 15, 2005. The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) hereby states categorically that only the community banks on this list that have successfully converted to microfinance banks shall continue to be supervised by the CBN. Members of the public are hereby advised not to transact business with any community bank which is not on the list of these successfully converted microfinance banks. Any member of the public, who transacts business with any community bank that failed to convert to MFB does so at his/her own risk. Members of the public are also to note that the operating licences of community banks that failed to re-capitalize and consequently do not appear on this list, have automatically been revoked pursuant to Section 12 of BOFIA, 1991 (as amended). For the avoidance of the doubt, new applications either as a Unit or State Microfinance Banks from potential investors or promoters shall continue to be received and processed for licensing by the Central Bank of Nigeria. -

Corresponding Authors: [email protected], [email protected] ABSTRACT Hydrogeophysical characteristics of the aquifers of the Lower Orashi River Area, Southeastern Nigeria was done using VES to delineate the aquifers and evaluate their geometric characteristics. The study area is underlain by the Ameki, Ogwashi and Benin Formations. The unconsolidated nature of the Formations and their high susceptibility to contamination have made this study imperative, as it would assist water resource planners and developers in the area to understand the best way to plan and site boreholes in the area. Eighty eight (88) Schlumberger Vertical Electrical Soundings (VES) were carried out in various parts of the study area with a maximum electrode separation (AB/2) of 350 m. The VES data were processed using a combination of curve matching techniques and computer iterative modeling. The study revealed seven to ten geo-electric layers with varying lithologies majorly sand units and a multiple aquifer system ranging from confined to unconfined aquifers. The results indicate that aquifer thickness ranges from 20m to about 227m. A quantitative interpretation of the curves -
