Assessment of Monthly Variation of Some Physicochemical Properties of Gosa and Kuje Dumpsites in Abuja, Nigeria
Abstract: The indiscriminate dumping of hospital, industrial and some toxic waste in open dumpsites without proper disposal technique alters the physico chemical properties of the soil. Baseline information on the contaminant effects on soil from open dumpsites will go a long way to effectively pave the need for engineered landfills in the FCT. To evaluate some physiochemical properties of the dumpsites soil, one way analysis of variance (ANOVA) test was used to compare the averages of the physico chemical parameters for significant differences. Results revealed that temperature varied significantly (p
