ABSTRACT:
The contamination of pesticides in water and sediments from
River Taraba was investigated to evaluate/determine the
contamination status and potential hazard in the river. A
total of twelve samples were collected and analyzed using GC
7890B, MSD 5977A. Statistical analysis revealed that the
mean concentrations of pesticide residues in water samples
ranged from 0.182 ± 0.031 - 2.48 ± 0.098 mg/L, while in
sediments ranged from 1.17 ± 1.3 - 47.7 ± 29.4 mg/kg. The
pesticides risk assessment in water recorded 80.0 % high
risk, 6.70 % medium and 13.3 low risks respectively, while
the pesticides risk assessment in sediments recorded 88.9%
high risk and 11.1 % medium risk. The results of the RQ
revealed that the RQ values in sediments were generally
higher than the RQ values obtained in water. This could be
attributed to the fact that sediments serve as natural sink
to chemical substances. Therefore, there should be periodic
assessment of water and sediments along the river to provide
a baseline data and critical information to encourage
effective monitoring for maximum utilization of the water
resources.
