Abstract

Abstract This paper aimed to assess the water quality and estimate the percentages of potentially toxic elements that would be removed to make water resources in Ojoto and its environs (Nigeria) safe for drinking. Standard procedures were followed in physicochemical analyses. Novel integrated-weight water quality index revealed that only 4 out of 28 water stations were suitable. Heavy metal toxicity load estimated that 92%, 48%, 89%, 79% and 98% of Fe, Zn, Ni, Cr and Pb, respectively, are required to be removed from the waters to reduce pollution. Hierarchical agglomerative clustering showed the spatiotemporal water quality classes in the study area.

为使受污染的饮用水安全而需清除的有毒元素百分比的污染评估和估计:来自尼日利亚的一个案例

摘要本文旨在评估水质，并估计潜在有毒元素的百分比，将被去除，使水资源在Ojoto及其周边地区(尼日利亚)安全饮用。理化分析遵循标准程序。新的综合权重水质指标显示，28个水站中只有4个水质适宜。重金属毒性负荷估计分别为92%、48%、89%、79%和98%的Fe、Zn、Ni、Cr和Pb需要从水体中去除，以减少污染。层次集聚聚类显示了研究区内的时空水质等级。

期刊介绍： Toxin Reviews provides an international forum for publishing state-of-the-art reviews and guest-edited single topic special issues covering the multidisciplinary research in the area of toxins derived from animals, plants and microorganisms. Our aim is to publish reviews that are of broad interest and importance to the toxinology as well as other life science communities. Toxin Reviews aims to encourage scientists to highlight the contribution of toxins as research tools in deciphering molecular and cellular mechanisms, and as prototypes of therapeutic agents. Reviews should emphasize the role of toxins in enhancing our fundamental understanding of life sciences, protein chemistry, structural biology, pharmacology, clinical toxinology and evolution. Prominence will be given to reviews that propose new ideas or approaches and further the knowledge of toxinology.
