Effect of Waste Dump Site Leachate Seepage on Soil Quality in Idumwowina Community Benin City, Edo State, Southern Nigeria
Keywords:
Soil, dumpsite, heavy metalsAbstract
The study was carried out to evaluate the environmental impact of waste dumpsite to the quality of ground water and its impact on the soil in Idumwunowina Community Edo State, Nigeria. The heavy metal such as (Cd, Fe, Cr, Pb, Ni) were determined in the topsoil from dept S (0–10 cm) and (10–20 cm) where analyzed using atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS). The determination for the soil components were the heavy metal concentration at depth 0–10 cm and 10–20 cm, with lead Pb having minimum value of 0.01 mg/kg–0.03 mg/kg, Cadmium 0.1 mg/kg–0.2 mg/kg, Fe (518 mg/kg–1070 mg/kg), Cr (0.1 mg/kg–0.8 mg/kg), Ni (0.6 mg/kg–2.4 mg/kg), Zn (2.6 mg/kg–8.6 mg/kg), Cu (0.2 mg/kg–0.8 mg/kg). The value of Pb, Cd, Fe, Ni e.t.c. shows variable value as some were below WHO standard and other above WHO standard at the different sources of collection.
