Environmental Sustainability Impact of the Okobaba Sawmill Industry on Some Biogeochemistry Characteristics of the Lagos Lagoon

Elijah FB * and Elegbede Isa

Okobaba hub of Lagos Lagoon is a water body that is presented to direct impact of sawmilling movement and other local wellsprings of contamination of the water body. The physic-concoction parameters, substantial metals and also disintegrated supplements for both water and silt tests of Lagos tidal pond at Okobaba were considered for a time of six month, tests were gathered from March to August as part of the arrangement of studies for the determination for the levels of tainting of the oceanic environment. Five stations were considered and an aggregate of thirty examples were gathered for both water and dregs tests each. Four out of the five stations extended along the water bank of Okobaba while the last (control) is taken after third terrain span. Profundity of water ranges between 0.6 m-2.2 m, temperature ranges somewhere around 240°C and 300°C for air and 250°C and 350°C in water. Complete strong in water was seen to have a scope of 7010-21104. Saltiness of water body ranges from 5.7-22.8 mg/l. Scope of qualities for DO, BOD, alkalinity and pH qualities are given as 3.5-7.4 mg/l, 2106-12104 mg/l, 36.5-105.2 mg/l and 6.7-7.9 mg/l individually. Results got demonstrated that with the exception of Chloride, suspended strong, depth and transparency, all other physic-compound parameters and broke down supplements are not altogether diverse (p>0.05). Centralization of overwhelming metals, for example, Chromium, Nickel, Zinc and Iron demonstrated noteworthy distinction (p<0.05). It was thusly presumed that the levels of sawmill waste contamination from Okobaba has brought about a contrarily noteworthy effect on the water body.
