Oil pollution and water quality in Awoye, Nigeria: Total petroleum hydrocarbon and microbial assessment
This study assessed the health implications of oil pollution in Awoye, Ondo State, Nigeria, through the evaluation of Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons (TPH) and microbial contamination in surface and borehole water sources. Results showed that surface water was more heavily impacted by hydrocarbon pollution than borehole water, with hydrocarbon profiles indicating recent petrogenic contamination. Microbial analyses revealed total coliform and fecal coliform counts exceeding World Health Organization (WHO) safety standards in both water sources, while the detection of E. coli confirmed ongoing feca…
