1 kwi 2023 · The continuous growth in population and industrial development has prompted wastewater (WW) generation in enormous volume with resultant effects on the quality of water in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). The generated WW flows into freshwater thereby depleting water quality in the region as the amount of WW treated before discharge into the ...

9 lut 2020 · Industrial effluents with high concentrations of toxic heavy metals are of great concern because of their persistence and non-degradability. However, poor operation and maintenance of wastewater treatment infrastructure is a great concern in South Africa.
We identified multiple adverse health outcomes in individuals living close to waste sites at a national level in South Africa, suggesting the need to reduce the number and size of waste sites to diminish harmful effects on health and wellbeing for communities living in close proximity to such sites. Funding.
18 lis 2021 · The discharge of industrial wastewater into the environment is an issue of particular concern especially in developing countries. In some cases, these industrial wastewater effluents are untreated or inadequately treated before being discharged and represent a threat to the environment and human health.
21 lis 2021 · The consequences of waste effluent generated from industry can reduce the concentration of dissolved oxygen; modify the physical properties of surface, ground and marine water. It can further release hazardous chemicals which can be bio-accumulated in aquatic species and can lead to enhanced nutrient loads of aqueous stream (Environmental ...
Due to the non-biodegradable properties of industrial wastes, disposal of these wastes into the environment have accelerated the pollution of freshwater bodies and clean water resources, as well as, terrestrial ecosystems (Azmi et al. 2018; Hairom et al. 2021).
