CONTRIBUTION TO KNOWLEDGE
My research is in the area of Environmental Management and Bioremediation. The research work done focused on the description of environmental changes to minimise environmental degradation due to human activities (Environmental Management) and the use of biological material to improve soil quality and detoxify substances hazardous to human health / or environment (Bioremediation). Thus, my contribution to knowledge are on:
Environmental Management
Human activities such as indiscriminate dumping of waste, vehicular emission, mining, use of chemicals in crop production, roofing materials, poultry farming, petroleum products distribution, charcoal and cement production contribute to soil, water and air pollution. I have been able to identify the presence of radionuclides, heavy metals (lead, cadmium, chromium, copper and zinc) and organochlorine in soil and vegetation due to vehicular emission, quarrying activities, open dumpsites, oil spill, cement production, fertilizer and pesticide application. My studies succeeded in identifying heavy metals in both surface and groundwater due to waste dumping on flowing river, municipal solid waste dumpsite, and roofing materials.
My studies also identified the presence of natural radiation, greenhouse gases (carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, sulphur oxide, nitrous oxide) and particulate matter in the atmosphere due to concrete materials, vehicular emission and poultry farming. I and other relevant scientists have succeeded in using Forward and Inverse Modelling to High-Resolution for mineral exploration
Increase in the concentrations of greenhouse gases, which is global concern, might result in global warming and eventually climate change. Effect of climate variability on water availability, crop growth and yield reduction, mitigation and adaptation strategies were successfully evaluated. Climate variability may result in losses of harvested crops due to lack of storage facilities. I have succeeded in using different packing materials and storage conditions to increase shelf life and quality of bell pepper. Climate variability also has effect on the prevalence and distribution of some infections, which made my studies to identify the effectiveness of Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) programme for the control of Soil-Transmitted Helminthiasis. I and other relevant scientists have succeeded in identifying higher carbon sequestration in greenspace area compared to non-greenspace area; and Gmelina, Neem, Mango and Masquerade trees for carbon sequestration were identified. Sustainable management of waste is a global challenge, which prompted the use of PET waste as strength modifiers in pavement material and identifying poultry, rabbit, goat, sheep, pig and cow dung as soil amendment. Application of chemical to increase crop yield is not sustainable. In a nutrient degraded soil, the use of different land management systems (such as natural regrowth forest, Tectona grandis, Eucalyptus cannadulensis and plantain plantations), composted market waste, dairy sludge and Arbuscular Mycorrhiza have been successfully assessed in my studies to increase soil fertility and crop yield compared to chemical fertilizer.
Environmental Bioremediation
Phytoremediation is the use of plant to clean up polluted soil. I have succeeded in identifying Calopogonium mucunoides, Axonopus compressus and Sida acuta as heavy metal accumulator and used Kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus), Amaranthus cruentus, Andropogon tectorum, Ocimum gratissimum, Panicum maximum, Tithonia diversifolia, Vetiveria zizanoide and Zea mays to clean up heavy metal polluted soil. Factors enhancing phytoremediation such as pH, metal concentration, soil nutrient and plant varieties were successfully established. Among the four varieties of Kenaf (Cuba 108, Tianung 1, Ex-shika and Ifeken 400) commonly grown in Nigeria, Cuba 108 has the highest phytoremediation efficiency. My studies have succeeded in using fertiliser, composted market waste, pig and cow dung for the biodegradation of Total Petroleum Hydrocarbon and Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon in spent engine, crude and refined oil polluted soil and achieved approximately 80% hydrocarbon degradation after 42 days of incubation.
