about 2097.These have cause a lot of havoc in the coastal environment of Nigeria in particular and has been the major source of environmental air pollution in Nigeria. Oil exploration, production, and refinement in Nigeria has also resulted in various environmental and ecological problems that range from oil spills, gas flares, habitat destruction, air and water pollution, and land degradation. Also, a major cause of oil pollution in that same region is also to a great extent, from the activities of
CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION 1.1 BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY Nigeria has been suffering the negative environmental consequences of oil development since oil was discovered in Nigeria (Badejo and Nwilo 2008). The growth of the country’s petroleum industry combined with an increasing growth rate in human population and a lack of enforcement of environmental regulations and commitment on the part of government has led to substantial
Over the past decades noise pollution has received increased attention and Studies has reported that noise pollution is one of the environmental hazard affecting human, the effects ranges from annoyance to difficulty in falling asleep, which latter leads to high blood pressure (WHO 2005; Ugwuanyi et al., 2005; Den Boer and Schroten 2007; Tetreault et al 2013 ). Although, noise pollution has been one of environmental concerns as early as the inception of civilization when man was introduced to technology
Noise pollution has been one of environmental concerns as early as the inception of civilization when man was introduced to technology, which could use to obtain the basic necessities, to a modern development of complex technological. This has resulted to noise pollution from various anthropological activities especially in the city area. Over the past decades noise pollution has received increased attention and Studies has reported that noise pollution is one of the environmental hazard affecting
The Niger Delta – the geographical heart of oil production in Nigeria has been a breeding ground for militants and ‚impoverished ethnic groups‛ for some years now. This is because the discovery of oil and its exploitation has ushered in a miserable, undisciplined, decrepit, and corrupt form of ‘petro-capitalism’ which produces conflict accelerating factors. Devastated by the ecological costs of oil spillage and the highest gas flaring rates in the world, the Niger Delta has become a centre of violence
INTRODUCTION Heavy metal pollution is one of the major problem facing the environmentalist today. The effect heavy metal toxicity on humans cannot be over-emphasized as they are known to affect most vital organs in the body. Heavy metals are some of the component that contribute to the contamination of the environment (air, water, soil, plants etc.). These heavy metals for example lead and zinc have been known to cause a lot of health problems ranging from hematological to neurological problems.
dispose of them correctly rather than shipping them across seas. The third world countries, with little to no pollution laws, get the detrimental impact of the growing electronic world. Nigeria is the main receiver of the electronic waste (Ford 1). Many families and young children exposed to the toxins at the dumpsites and at home often struggle to find clean food and water due to the pollution. (Ford 3). The amount of toxic elements that are in electronic devices is very high. A majority of these
and discoveries, things cannot turn into a resource. TYPES OF RESOURCES Resources can be classified into natural, human made and human. Natural Resources Resources that are directly extracted from the nature are called natural resources. For example Air, water, soils, minerals are all natural resources. Based on the level of development and use resources can be classified into two groups, actual resources and potential resources. • Actual resources are available in known quantity and utilize with
we can conserve our gas consumption by using cruise control, and planning to drive outside of peak traffic periods, thereby avoiding being stuck in traffic and reducing the amount of time the vehicle is running. The latter also cuts down on the pollution we directly put into the environment. Finally, although it may not have an immediate effect on carbon dioxide emissions, I can teach my children
IT technologies and marketing strategies can help improve communications and facilitate the smooth transfer of information across all phases of the supply chain. Marketing can make you want to go on vacation and decide where to go on vacation. Tactical and slim marketing is what drives many of our thoughts and actions. Without marketing, most of the causes or products would never receive the huge support they currently enjoy. The importance of marketing can not be denied and must be taken into account
