Physico-Chemical Assessment of River Benue to Determine Pollution Levels Using Chemometric Models.By UU Egereonu, J.C. Ike, R.U. Iwuagwu, S.K. Egereonu, C. Onwuka, J.C. Egereonu, N.J. Okoro, U.L.Onu, V.C. Eze, B.Okenyi
Abstract: The effects of pollution on water have been reviewed. This study is aimed at determining the level of pollution of the River Benue, with the view of assessing its use as potable water. Different analytical techniques including titrimetry, gravimetry, potentiometry, and spectrophotometry were used for the study. The total hardness gave (22.28 mg/L and 41.87 mg/L) for dry and rainy season respectively. Electrical conductivity gave (91.35 mg/L and 54.10 mg/L) …

Monitoring and Modeling of Atmospheric Change Indices In Parts of Imo State Using GIS, MATLAB and ANNBy UU Egereonu, J.C.Ike, C.K.Enebeaku, C.O.Akalezi, A.A.Bilar, M.C.Igbomezie, J.C.Egereonu, N.C.Okoro, M.O.Ezekoye, I.C.Obiagwu
Abstract: Geographic Information System (GIS) and Matrix Laboratory (MATLAB) Models were used to study air quality in parts of Imo State. Primary data were obtained by conducting relevant analysis using standard instrumental methods on open-air rainwater samples collected in the dry and the rainy seasons for two consecutive years. GIS showed that the pollutants were present throughout the year. Artificial Neural Network (ANN) of MATLAB 2015 was used to represent data …

Heavy Metal Assessment of Rainwater from Owerri Metropolis and Suburbs of Imo State, Nigeria Using GIS, MATLAB and ANN Models.By UU Egereonu, J. C. Ike
Abstract: Three hundred and fifty (350) rainwater samples were collected from 35 select locations within Owerri Metropolis, Ehime Mbano and Mbaitoli LGAs and analyzed for Cd, Cu, Fe, Zn, and Pb using standard instrumental methods. The results were compared with the World Health Organization (WHO), National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS), Federal Environmental Protection Agency (FEPA) and National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) Standards for drinking water …

Physicochemical Analysis of Groundwater Quality In Owerri Municipal, Imo State, Nigeria Using MATLAB and ANN Models.By UU Egereonu, O.G. Nnawuchi, N.J. Okoro, J.C. Egereonu, M.O. Ezekoye, M.C. Igbomezie, I.C. Obiagwu, C. Onwuka
Abstract: The physicochemical analysis of groundwater quality in Owerri Municipal council, Imo state, Nigeria was carried out. Fifteen water samples were randomly selected from the five villages that make up Owerri municipal council were anlayzed for physicochemical parameters using standard methods. The results from the study area showed that the temperature ranged between 26.5-28.0oC; рH ranged between 4.80-5.32. Electrical conductivity ranged between 77-166 µЅ/cm. The total dissolved solids were between 35.4-168.4mg/l; …
