Effect Of Liquid Petroleum Refinery Effluent On The Haematological Parameters Of African Catfish Clarias Gariepinus:- Okechukwu, Jessy C
ABSTRACT
Pollution of the aquatic environment occurs from
oil refinery effluents which contain many different chemicals at different
concentrations ■ including ammonia, sulphides, phenol and hydrocarbons. The
extent of effect is dependent on the effluent composition, the outfall’s
position and the state of the recipient environment. This work was undertaken to
investigate the effect of refinery effluent on the haematological parameters
such as haemoglobin, red blood cell, leucocyte count, eosinophils, basophils,
neutrophils, lymphocytes and monocytes. And the biochemical parameters such as
serum urea, serum glucose and pH. It was also to determine the sub lethal
effects of industrial waste products. Exposure to industrial effluent elicited
a significance of P<0.05 on the haematological parameters of Clarias
gariepinus. The result show that as the concentration of the effluent increases
from 0.00mol/1 to 0.500mol/1, there is a decrease in the white blood cells. It
can be deduced that the presence of liouid petroleum effluent in the aquatic
system could pose serious threat to the survival of Clarias gariepinus. Pollution
of the water bodies with the industrial effluent should be prevented to avoid
effects on fish and other aquatic organisms.
