Oxides And Heavy Metals Concentration Around A Cement Plant At Yandev, Central Nigeria, Fanan Ujoh Ph.D, Muhammad Mamman Alhassan Ph.D
Oxides And Heavy Metals Concentration Around A Cement Plant At Yandev, Central Nigeria, Fanan Ujoh Ph.D, Muhammad Mamman Alhassan Ph.D
Dr. Fanan Ujoh
Aims: To determine the level of concentration of oxides (chemicals) and heavy metals in 6 soil samples. To further compare the results with acceptable soil quality standards to ascertain the status of soil quality within the study area. Study Design: Collection and analyses of soil samples from the vicinity of Dangote Cement factory, Yandev. Place and Duration of Study: A total of 6 soil samples were collected: using a 2-kilometer interval, five samples were collected within the study area starting from the center of the Cement factory while the sixth soil sample was collected from a Control Community (Tarhembe) located …
Assessment Of Pollutants In Streams Around A Cement Plant In Central Nigeria, Fanan Ujoh Ph.D, Muhammad Mamman Alhassan Ph.D
Assessment Of Pollutants In Streams Around A Cement Plant In Central Nigeria, Fanan Ujoh Ph.D, Muhammad Mamman Alhassan Ph.D
Dr. Fanan Ujoh
The study assessed the chemical and heavy metals content in surface water samples collected at 9 points from 3 different streams within a radius of 5 kilometers to the factory, and an additional control water sample collected from a stream at Tarhembe, 12 kilometers from the factory. Laboratory analyses were conducted for 18 parameters, while mean, maximum and minimum values, and standard deviation for all parameters tested were derived using SPSS Version 15. Using the WHO (2011) Guidelines for Drinking Water, the concentration levels of pollutants in water samples were determined for all 18 parameters to establish whether or not …
Multi-Temporal Change Detection At A Limestone Mining And Cement Production Facility In Central Nigeria, Fanan Ujoh Ph.D, Muhammad Mamman Alhassan Ph.D, Frederick Terkuma Ujoh Mr
Multi-Temporal Change Detection At A Limestone Mining And Cement Production Facility In Central Nigeria, Fanan Ujoh Ph.D, Muhammad Mamman Alhassan Ph.D, Frederick Terkuma Ujoh Mr
Dr. Fanan Ujoh
Limestone mining and cement production at Yandev, Nigeria commenced in 1980 without an environmental impact assessment (EIA) to ascertain the extent of impact these activities could bring to bear on the physical and living conditions of the host environment. This study was carried out to assess the impact that mining of limestone and production of cement has inflicted on the quality and density of vegetation within the study area about 32 years since production commenced. Multi-temporal satellite imageries of the study area (Landsat for 1976, 1986, 1996 and Nigeriasat-1 for 2006), ILWIS Academia 3.3 and SPSS Version 15 were used …

Dr. Fanan Ujoh
Aims: To produce an updated 1:25,000 topographic map of Anyigba through the application of geospatial technologies – GIS techniques, Remote Sensing data, GPS and other ancillary hardware and software. Study Design: Application of satellite imageries and GIS software for the production of updated topographic map of Anyigba Town in Nigeria. Place and Duration of Study: GIS Laboratory, Department of Geography and Planning, Kogi State University, Anyigba, Nigeria, between April and July 2012. Methodology: Satellite image processing, classification and vectorization, visually-aided interpretation, digitization and geocoding of features, using ArcGIS 9.2, ILWIS 3.3 Academia, AutoCAD 2010 and Microsoft Excel 2010 software. Results: …

Estimating Plume Emission Rate And Dispersion Pattern From A Cement Plant At Yandev, Central Nigeria, Fanan Ujoh Ph.D, Olarewaju Oluseyi Ifatimehin Ph.D, Isa Dlama Kwabe Mr
Dr. Fanan Ujoh
Cement production at Yandev, Nigeria commenced in 1980 without an environmental impact assessment to ascertain the extent of damage production activities would bring to bear on the physical conditions of the host environment. This study was carried out to provide baseline data on the rate and pattern of plume rise from the factory. Field survey was employed for primary data collation, while secondary data (climatic and factory data) were acquired from NIMET Makurdi Office and Dangote Cement Plc. Plume rate was estimated using the Gaussian (Mathematical) Model; Kriging, using Arc GIS, was adopted for modelling the pattern of plume dispersion. …
