This calls for continuous monitoring and enforcement of regulations to ensure safety of fishery resources from Lagos Lagoon.]]> Wed 17 Nov 2021 16:30:33 AEDT ]]> Enrichment, contamination and geo-accumulation factors for assessing arsenic contamination in sediment of a Tropical Open Lagoon, Southwest Nigeria https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:30619 -1 dry weight) did not exceed the Canadian Interim Sediment Quality Guideline (CISQG) value of 7.24 mg kg-1 dry weight during the wet and dry seasons. Based on the Sediment Quality Guidelines (SQGs) of the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) and ecological risk assessment using the enrichment factor (EF), contamination factor (CF) and geo-accumulation index (Igeo), the study’s results indicate two things: firstly, low to moderate and significant levels of enrichment from As; and secondly, low to moderate degree of contamination in Lagos Lagoon during the study period.]]> Tue 03 Dec 2019 15:10:13 AEDT ]]>
