چکیده مقاله:
The study investigated the source, geochemical spreading and risks assessment of trace metals in particulate matter ۲.۵ (PM۲.۵) within a gas flaring area in Bayelsa State, Nigeria. PM۲.۵ was measured using Geintek Particulate matter sampler APM۱۳۱ monitor. Seven locations within ۳۰۰۰ m of the gas flaring area were sampled, with a control location established at about ۷۰۰۰ m from flare stark. The trace metals trapped in the PM۲.۵ were analyzed using flame atomic absorption spectrometry. The mean level of trace metals ranged from ۲.۷۵ – ۷.۵۶ µg/m۳, ۰.۰۳ – ۲.۸۲ µg/m۳, ۰.۱۶ – ۱.۱۱ µg/m۳, ۰.۳۲ – ۱.۰۲ µg/m۳, ۱.۳۲ – ۳.۳۴ µg/m۳, and ۰.۱۵ – ۲.۰۷ µg/m۳ for iron, manganese, nickel, lead, zinc and vanadium, respectively. There was statistical dissimilarity (P < ۰.۰۵) across study stations for nickel, iron and zinc, and no significant variation (P>۰.۰۵) for manganese, vanadium and lead. Pollution indices and index of geoaccumulation showed low to moderate contamination. The overall risk index reveals a low hazard. The enrichment factor and principal components analysis showed the metals are from anthropogenic and natural sources. Zinc correlates strongly with iron, manganese and nickel, an indication that these metals are from similar sources. The carcinogenic and non - carcinogenic hazards were within the threshold limits of ۱۰-۶ to ۱۰-۴ and <۱, respectively. Based on the result, there are no hazardous health effects resulting from the inhalation of trace metals in PM۲.۵ for the age bracket being studied. However, there is a need to constantly monitor the level of these metals in the air via routine emission monitoring to forestall possible health risks.
