摘要：Waste dumping and inadequate waste management efforts are having adverse impact on the environment and humans in
Nigerian coastal cities. Nine of the 36 states in Nigeria border the Atlantic Ocean. Twenty-five percent of the Nigerian
population is found in the coastal states. These states, with the exception of Lagos, Ogun and Ondo, are more prone to
petrochemical wastes arising from petroleum exploration. Field investigations, surveys and literature searches were
conducted in order to accomplish the task of this research. Field studies included testing for dissolved oxygen, biological
oxygen demand, nitrates, phosphate, total solids and pH.
