ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS OF GAS FLARING IN KWALE AND ITS ENVIRONS: INSIGHT FROM GROUND WATER HEAVY METAL ANALYSIS
Abstract
This study was designed to examine the perceived environmental effects of gas flaring and its associated health impact on ground water quality in Kwale and its environs, Southern Nigeria. This study investigates the perceived environmental effects of gas flaring and its associated health impact on groundwater quality in Kwale and its environs, Southern Nigeria. The research analyzed the concentration of heavy metals in groundwater samples from the area and assessed the potential health risks associated with consumption of contaminated water. The results provide insights into the environmental and health impacts of gas flaring in the region, highlighting the need for effective mitigation strategies to protect the environment and public health.
