| dc.description.abstract | This study evaluates the level of compliance of Kaduna Refinery and Petrochemical Company (KRPC) to United Nation Environmental Safety Standard for effiuent Management. Waste water samples were collected from eight sampling points within the study area which comprised of the following: effluent sample before treatment, effluent sample after treatment, KRPC effluent discharge point, a point downstream after the refinery facility, and 4km downstream after the refinery facility. The data collected were subjected to Laboratory analysis in the Kaduna Environmental Protection Authority Laboratory. The results generated from laboratory analysis were then subjected to statistical analysis which included ANOVA and Plots of mean variation. Research findings revealed that most of the parameters measured show a significant variation between the sampling points and within the months. The plots of mean variation on the other hand show that the concentration of these parameters varies progressively with distance from the point of the refinery facility. The following recommendations would minimize the load of pollutants on Romi River; the activities of other industries in Romi-Rido environs should be critically identified and assessed; and there is a need for the National bodies entitled with the role of assessing the activities of industries to develop a form of sanctioning against any industry that refuses to adhere to the standard environmental protection legislation, among others. | en_US |
