Two methods were used to conduct the investigations: observation and experimentation. Observations focused on wastewater management at the hospital and its surroundings, up to the point of discharge into the receiving environment. The analysis revealed that some parameters, such as COD, BOD5, turbidity, phosphorus, coliforms and fecal streptococci, exceeded discharge standards. A pilot UASB reactor was therefore proposed to treat the wastewater from the hospital (HBMM). The results were satisfactory, with values in compliance with standards for hospital effluent discharges. At the outlet of the pilot reactor, physico-chemical and bacteriological parameters such as COD showed a reduction in pollutant load of 93.7%, BOD5 of 93.3%, TSS of 75%, turbidity of 98.6% and phosphorus showed a value in compliance with discharge standards, with a reduction of 50%. Fecal coliforms at the outlet showed an efficiency of 100% and fecal streptococci of 99.9%, proving the effectiveness of the UASB pilot system for treating hospital effluents from the hospital (HBMM). This study has therefore shown that the implementation of a UASB pilot reactor can contribute to improving efficiency in the treatment of wastewater from Biamba Marie Mutombo Hospital.","PeriodicalId":253461,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Environment & Ecology","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133214549","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, these herbicides have different mode of actions and effect on soil components; and their continued usage has affected the soil microbial communities and other soil components most of which are the non-target. This study, therefore, was focused on evaluating the physicochemical properties and microbial population of nicosulfuron treated soils of Yola, Adamawa State, Nigeria. The study was carried out in both 2021 and 2022 in the Research Farm of the Department of Plant Science, Modibbo Adama University, Yola. The samples of the soil treated with the different concentrations of nicosulfuron were obtained at 0, 2, 4 and 6 Weeks after Treatment (WAT) at the depth between 0-12 cm. The physicochemical properties and the bacterial and fungal populations of the collected soil samples were determined using standard laboratory procedures. The results revealed that the soils treated with the 50, 100, 150 and 200 g/ha concentrations of nicosulfuron had a comparable values for physicochemical (except percentage moisture content, organic carbon and matter and total nitrogen) properties that include: pH, electrical conductivity, Calcium, magnesium and potassium ions, total exchangeable acidity, total exchangeable base, effective cation exchange capacity, percentage base saturation. On the basis of duration of application, however, the nicosulfuron had significant effect on the physicochemical properties with 6 WAT having the highest values for the physicochemical properties compared to other sampling durations. On the bacterial (except the fungal) population, the nicosulfuron also had a significant effect with the treated soils having the lowest populations of both bacteria and fungi. The study therefore, concluded that the duration of application of nicosulfuron have significant effect on physicochemical properties of soil in Yola. On the bacterial and fungal populations of the soil, nicosulfuron also had significant effect.","PeriodicalId":253461,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Environment & Ecology","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123928812","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The lecture hall is an auditory-verbal environment that requires pleasant acoustics; however, the main problem of it is noise pollution. Thus, this study aims at assessing students’ perceptions of the effect of noise pollution in lecture halls in a typical Nigeria institution, taking the lectures halls in the School of Agriculture and Agricultural Technology (SAAT), School of Environmental Sciences (SOES), the School of Health Teaching (SOHT) all in the Federal University of Technology Owerri FUTO. The study was pursued using a Quantitative and Qualitative approach that entailed the use of structured Questionnaires and observation. A total number of 150 questionnaires were distributed to the students because they are the major users of lecture halls, and a total of 134 questionnaires were filled and returned giving a percentage response of 89.3%. Data collected were analyzed using computer-based software statistical package for Social Science (SPSS) version 19.0 and descriptive tools such as frequencies, percentage values and Relative Important Index (RII). The result of the analysis revealed among others that the major causes of noise in lecture halls are generators, automobiles, and Echo of noise from adjacent buildings. Similarly, the study also revealed that noise exposure affects listening ability, concentration of students, and reading ability and its peak period is usually in the afternoon hours (1.00-3.00 pm). Also, one of the effects of noise is that it makes students lose concentration when receiving lectures since the bridge between students and lecturers is limited as a result of interference in communication between students and lecturers. Consequently, It is recommended that noise detectors should be located in lecture halls and school environments to know the noise level in lecture halls and perhaps, operate on the noise level recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO). Also, the use of noise-insulating materials during construction and maintenance, and the planting of natural shield trees within the study area to prevent noise from intruding into the lecture halls should be adopted.  Educating students on the effect of noise pollution the and location of the generator set sets in lecture halls far away from the road will reduce noise pollution.","PeriodicalId":253461,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Environment & Ecology","volume":"53 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122071823","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aims to determine the median lethal concentration (LC50) of the produced water that would cause mortality of 50% of the exposed population of Nitrosomonas sp. (test organism) which is involved in the ammonification step of the Nitrogen cycle. \u0000Study Design:  For the purpose of this study, acute toxicity testing was done for 48 hours to determine the effect of the untreated and treated produced wastewater on the test organism. The LC50 is the median lethal concentration that would cause mortality of 50% of the exposed population of the test organisms. \u0000Methodology: Toxicity effects of treated and untreated produced wastewater were determined following standard procedures against the test organism (Nitrosomonas sp). The resultant output of the probit analysis was generated from the SPSS statistical programme. \u0000Results: Results showed that the mean LC50 for the untreated produced wastewater at the 48-hour test period of bioassay was 3.27mg/L, while the mean LC50 for the treated wastewater was found to be 6.69mg/L. The mean percentage mortality of Nitrosomonas sp. for the untreated produced waster water ranged from 37%(0.01mg/l) to 90%(100mg/l), while for the treated, percentage mortality ranged from 27%(0.01mg/l) to 84%(100mg/l) at the end of the 48 hour test duration. \u0000Conclusion: Toxicity of treated and untreated wastewater against Nitrosomonas sp increased with time and decreased considerably with treatment, corresponding to positive correlation as observed statistically between toxicants with respect to concentration and time of exposure for untreated and treated wastewater against Nitrosomonas sp. These results indicate a likey inteference of the nitrogen cycle by contamination of untreated produced water in the environment and by extension impairment of the productivity of the environment.","PeriodicalId":253461,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Environment & Ecology","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131097192","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Likewise, the MMA is located in a place with diverse natural formations that extend throughout the city, receiving the nickname of the \"City of the mountains\". These formations together with the polluting emissions product of various sources such as industries, vehicles, natural phenomena; and weather conditions, considerably increase the concentrations of pollutants that impact the quality of life of living beings. \u0000Objective: The objective of this research is to show the evolution of air pollution in the first two decades of this century, evaluate its trend and highlight the risks to which urban inhabitants and ecosystems are subjected. \u0000Materials and Methods: Data from the Environmental Monitoring Integral System (SIMA) of the Ministry of Environment of the Government of the State of Nuevo León, which has 14 monitoring stations of criteria pollutants, were used to evaluate the evolution and distribution of air pollution in the MMA. Concentrations of CO, NO2, SO2, PM10, PM2.5 and O3 were evaluated. The trend of the hourly, daily, monthly and annual time series was evaluated to see patterns and the distribution of pollutants in the MMA have changed during the last years. \u0000Results: The results show that the pollutants have a great variability and these are based on multiple natural factors (thermal inversion, wind speed and direction, orography, among others) and/or anthropogenic factors (mobility, agricultural, industrial, services, fires, among others). They also depend on the time of year with an increase in particulate matter in the dry season and ozone in the wet season. \u0000Conclusions: The criteria pollutants that recorded the highest number of days out of the norm and with the greatest tendency to increase during the last two decades are PM10, O3 and PM2.5, which represents a risk to environmental and human health. The pollutants CO, NO2, SO2, so far do not represent a risk to the population, since these are within the norm both for the number of days and for the daily, annual and monthly averages.","PeriodicalId":253461,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Environment & Ecology","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130816417","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
