Spectrophotometric Determination of Phosphate Concentration in Tap Water Samples of University of Nigeria, Nsukka Community Using Molybdenum Blue Method

Phosphate dosing of water supplies in public water system, coupled with leakage from the distribution networks represents a significant input of phosphorus to the environment. This gradual pile up of phosphate levels could directly or indirectly impact some negative environmental challenges including reduced aesthetic and recreational value of lakes, river and stream and also the seasonal depletion of the dissolved oxygen content in water bodies, thus leading to disruption of the ecosystem. The phosphate concentration in tap water samples collected from various sites in University of Nigeria, …
