Abstract

This study was carried out to evaluate the effects of abattoir waste and tissue paper industrial effluents on River Ilo, Ota, Ogun State. It assessed the physical and chemical parameters of the river. Water samples were taken at five different locations along the river for a period of 24 weeks. Sampling was done during the late rainy season (August to October) and during the early dry season (November to January). The sampling Stations were: upstream (SS1) which served as control, tissue paper effluent discharge point (SS2), mid-point tissue paper and abattoir effluent discharge point (SS3), the abattoir effluent discharge point (SS4) and downstream (SS5). The physico-chemical parameters of the water samples were analyzed using standard analytical methods and results of laboratory analysis were analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Duncan’s Multiple Range Test (DMRT). Results indicated significant differences (p<0.05) in all parameters between the sampling stations, except for temperature. Sampling Stations SS2 and SS4 had the highest mean values for all parameters except dissolved oxygen. This study revealed that the discharge of abattoir waste and tissue paper effluents into river Ilo had brought about a wide range of fluctuations in physico-chemical parameters of the river.
