‘Effects of household solid wastes (in dumpsite) on top soil in Ikwuano Local Government area Abia state:- Nweke Celestine C
ABSTRACT
In Nigeria, the menace of household waste has had
a tremendous effect on the availability ofsoil for agricultural production and
also its arability. This project drew insights from famous works off the effect
of waste on soil in Nigeria and beyond Nigeria. Twelve soil samples (taken at
different depth) were taken from from Amaoba, Umuariaga, and Umugbalu dumpsites
all in Ikwuano Local Government Area ofAbia state for physical and chemical
characterization. Apart from the slight difference in PH of the soil at
dumpsites, most of the physical and chemical parameters ofthe soils at the
dumpsites were not remarkably different from that of the control sites and are
in range with the specifications from other related works. It was concluded
that, from the results on the characterization with use ofsuitable fertilizers,
the soils both at dumpsites and control sites are arable.
