INTRODUCTION

Ibadan is a mega-city and one of the

largest cities in Nigeria.

A densely populated city with

numerous distorted land use plan

STUDY AREAThe study area is drained by Rivers

Omin, Ona, Ogunpa, Ogbere.

OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY• To determine the mineralogical and trace metal contents of the sediments.

• To evaluate the pollution status and identify the possible influence of Land use/human activities on metal concentration .

MATERIALS AND METHODS

• 233 bottom river sediment samples was collected along the stream and river channels

• Omin-29, Ona-53, Ogunpa-91, Ogbere-60.

• A sample was collected as control from a natural spring devoid of contamination.

MINERALOGICAL/GEOCHEMICAL

• XRD (NGSA Laboratory)

• ICP-MS (ACME Laboratory Canada)

• SEQUENTIAL LEACH (5-Methods)

Leach Methods

• Sulphides• Residuals• Reducibles• Organics• Exchangeables

kaolinite, illite, chlorite, mica, calcite, paragonite,

diaspore and quartz

Kaolinite, illite, were diminant in

Rivers Omin and Ogbere

Quartz is thedominant mineral in

Rivers Ona and Ogbere.

.

MINERALOGICAL DATA

SAND-CLAY CONTENT - (Si:Al)• Si/Al controls the sand-clay content of any given sediment.

• Mean Si/Al values in the sediment include: ≤14.09(Omin), ≤17.44(Ona), ≤18.73(Ogunpa), ≤15.0(Ogbere) indicating high degree of sand

• High sandy content was recorded for Ogunpa and Ona rivers, controlled by the lithology (Quartzite and quartz schist).

Are the concentration of these metals in the sediments truly

anthropogenic?

•Enrichment of Pb, Zn, Cr, Co, Ni,

As in the sediments, attributed to

anthropogenic sources(Table 3;

Fig. 16).

High concentration of Cu, Pb and

Zn is in agreement with earlier

findings of Odewande and Abimbola(2008); Fadina, (2008);Olatunji, et

al., (2011) on road dust, outdoor and

indoor particulate matter and soils of

the urban city.

Weathering & Land-use; Urbanization: Population density; Human activities;

Cu, Pb, Zn, Cd and As: dominates the Bio-available sediment fractions

Efforts should be made to reduce pollution level: through mitigation

Toxicity of sediment has occured in River Ogunpa (Old City Center) drainage channel

Anthropogenic metal enrichment is greater than the lithogenicmetal enrichment in sediment derived from the drainage channels.
