Overview

Randomized trial assesses wastewater quality using Nemerow and Geo Accumulation Index in Greater Jos, indicating pollution levels.

Key Points

  • This study aims to characterize domestic wastewater and determine its pollutant load index for sustainable management.
  • Field survey with wastewater sample collection from 660 households over 4 years.
  • Samples were analyzed in the lab within 2 weeks, measuring various water quality parameters.
  • Data were compared against NESREA discharge limits to evaluate pollution levels.
  • Nemerow Pollution Index and Geo Accumulation Index values showed high levels of total suspended solids and chemical oxygen demand, exceeding NESREA limits.
  • Pollutants such as total phosphate, ammonia, and fecal coliform were also found at high concentrations.
  • Findings highlight risks such as eutrophication and waterborne pathogens affecting health and agriculture.
