    Toxicological Evaluation Of Two Nigerian Refinery Effluents Using Natural Biomonitors

    By Samson Ogagaoghene Egurefa, Micheal Uchenna Orji, Bright Obidinma Uba

    Abstract: Abstract The present study aimed to evaluate the toxic effects of two Nigerian refineries’ effluents using natural bio-monitors. Standard physicochemical analysis, toxi-chromo test using mutant E. coli and sub-chronic animal toxicity testing with emphasis on tissue heavy metal accumulation, biochemical parameters and histopathology, were adopted during the study. The physicochemical results revealed that the two effluent samples are highly polluted although PH sample was more polluted than the Warri sample. …

    Evaluation of Marine Waste Water And Aromatic Hydrocarbons Toxicity Using A Battery of Assays

    By Bright Obidinma Uba, Edna Ifeoma Chukwura, Ikechukwu Harmony I heukwumere, John Joseph Okeke, Ifeanyi Patience Akaun

    Abstract: Abstract The aim of this study is to evaluate the toxic effects of marine wastewater and representative aromatic hydrocarbons using a battery of assays. The methods employed for the toxicological evaluation involve physic-chemical analysis of the marine wastewater, toxi-chromo test using mutant E coli and sub-chronic animal toxicity testing with emphasis on body weight determination, biochemical indices and histopathological examination. The results showed that Nembe water side wastewater sample contain …
