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)»Production of hair growth oil and body lotion from Pumpkin and Pawpaw seed oil»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»Ethanol production from cocoyam peels»Characteristics of humic substances from strongly acidic soil remediated and restored using CNB-TECH end product»Comparative study of physico-chemical properties and essential mineral of some fruit juice orange and tomato»Biodiesel production using soybean oil and characterization»Extraction and characterization of avocado seed oil»Analysis of the quality of groundwater (boreholes)»Spectroscopic and phytochemical evaluation of methanolic extract of mahogany tree gum for possible biosynthetic process»Production of biolubricant from Carica Papaya seed oil»Phytochemical and proximate analysis of Combretum Zenkeri Ubi»Biosynthesis of bark peel of aerial yam-magnesium oxide nano composites for biosensing application
