Abstract
Water plays an important role in the life of human beings. In the last few decades, limitless urbanization has caused a serious pollution problem due to the disposal of sewage to the water bodies. This study investigates the level of wastewater pollution by analyzing its chemical characteristics at five wastewater collectors. In this investigation physico-chemical parameters such as colour, temperature, total alkalinity, chloride, total hardness, total suspended solid, pH, dissolved oxygen and heavy metal determination using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS). Experimental results show that the concentration levels of the some parameters does not conform to the guide line stipulated by Federal Environmental Protection Agency (FEPA). Concentration ranges as follows: temperature (45-33oC), pH (11.24-9.15), Total Alkalinity (1500-190mg/L), Total suspended solid (39.6-38.3mg/L). Chloride and total hardness conformed to FEPA standards with their respective range of values (82-30mg/L), and (80-110mg/L). Dissolved oxygen (2.0-3.4mg/L) fall below standard. The trace metals concentration range as follows: Iron (23.5- 24.1mg/L), Cu (0.26-0.24), Zn (2.24mg/L) and Cd (0.00), Iron and zinc fall beyond FEPA standard which are 20.0 and 0.1mg/L respectively while copper conform with the standard. Cadmium is not detectable.
