Analyzing Atmospheric Particulate Matter in PortHarcourt and Omoku, Nigeria, Using Artificial NeuralNetworks and Fuzzy LogicBy U. U. Egereonu, D E Ndukwu, S K Egereonu, J C Ike, N J Okoro, J C Egereonu, M O Ezeokoye, M C Igbomezie, I C Obiagwu, C Onwuka, R U Iwuagwu, J U Ozioko, U L Onu
Abstract: Port Harcourt and Omoku, two densely populated towns in Rivers State, Nigeria, are hubs of industrial, commercial, and residential activities, characterized by the presence of oil and gas industries, educational institutions, large markets, and, in the case of Omoku, access to free electric power supply. These activities contribute to environmental degradation through industrial effluents, domestic waste, automobile emissions, gas flaring, and biomass burning, which release aerosols that form harmful particulates …

Physico-Chemical Analysis of Oji-River in Enugu State,Nigeria to Ascertain its Pollution LevelBy U. U. Egereonu
Abstract: Physico-chemical investigations were carried out on Oji-river using standard methods to ascertain thelevel and sources of pollution. The distribution of pollutants due to anthropogenic activities wasreported. Evaluation revealed the mean range values of the following parameters; pH, 5.98 – 6.15,turbidity, 2.10 – 7.90 NTU, total suspended solid (TSS), 0.70 – 5.40 mgL-1, total dissolved solid (TDS),18.20 – 49.60 mgL-1, electrical conductivity (EC), 39.60 – 107.90 µScm-1, alkalinity, 20.0 – 34.0 …
