Three samples from different boreholes at four different locations were collected. Contents of fluoride, sulphate, nitrate and temperature were studied and compared with the standard values prescribed by the world health organization (WHO). The results show that fluoride had a range of (0.00mg/-0.56mg/l), nitrate (4.1mg/l– 44mg/l), sulphate (3.9mg/l– 14.0mg/l) and temperature (25. 97mg/l– 28.81mg/l). All the parameters checked are within the maximum standard limits stipulated by World Health Organization (WHO). The statistical analysis used to correlate the result shows that temperature correlated positively and significantly with nitrate (r + 0.00594), temperature correlated negatively and (significantly with fluoride (r -0.171) and negatively and significantly with sulphate (r -0.261). ...Preview Download Preview +Other Chemistry project topics and materials you might be interested in»Minerals and phytochemical analysis of watermelon seeds (Citrullus Lanatus)»Kinectic study and heavy metals removals from used engine oil treated with groundnut shells»Synthesis and exploration of ion nanoparticles using costus after flower extract as a reducing agent»Characteristics of humic substances from strongly acidic soil remediated and restored using humin enhanced biodegradable waste materials»Characteristics of humic substances from strongly acidic soil remediated and restored using CNB-TECH end product»Production of hair growth oil and body lotion from Pumpkin and Pawpaw seed oil»Ethanol production from cocoyam peels»Analysis of the quality of groundwater (boreholes)»Phytochemical and proximate analysis of Combretum Zenkeri Ubi»Biodiesel production using soybean oil and characterization»Spectroscopic and phytochemical evaluation of methanolic extract of mahogany tree gum for possible biosynthetic process»Biosynthesis of bark peel of aerial yam-magnesium oxide nano composites for biosensing application»Determination of total hydrocarbon and total petroleum hydrocarbon in the sediments of Oturuba river»Production of biolubricant from Carica Papaya seed oil»The production of vegetable tanned leather using Parkia Clappertoniana (Pod and Bark) as tanning material
