Physicochemical Assessment Of Water From Selected Boreholes In Oyigbo, Rivers State
ABSTRACT
Potable (treated) water samples collected from selected boreholes in Oyigbo LGA in river state.
The drinking waters were analyzed for Heavy at Port Harcourt Refining company (a subsidiary
of NNPC) using respective WHO (world health organization) standards. The results shows that
Lead had a mean value of 0.245 ± 0.126, which exceeds the WHO standard maximum
permissible level (0.01 mg/I). Iron had a mean value of O.078(mg/l)± 0.0176; Zinc,
0.246(mg/l)± 0.0903; Chromium. 0.0308(mg/l)± 0.01442; Copper, O.3638(mg/l)± 0.0201;
Nickel, <0.01(mg/l)± 0.000. The pH had a mean value of 3.67(rng/l)± 0.4273, which was
outside the WHO standard permissible standard. We therefore conclude that an adequate supply
of safe drinking water is a prerequisite for a healthy life and should be addressed with respect to
Heavy Metals.
