INTRODUCTION

Nowadays human lives facing lots of problems in their life, one of the major problems is pollution. Pollution is nothing but the contamination of our air by harmful substances and wastages or the unwanted things which is added to the natural contents like, air water, land etc.

Pollution is again said to be the introduction of a contaminant into a natural environment, usually by humans. While most people think of pollution as chemical waste dumped into rivers, or factories spewing toxins into the air, it can also include light pollution or sound pollution. The death effects of pollution affect more than 1000 million people worldwide more widespread than global pandemics such as AIDs. In some of the worlds worsted polluted places, babies are born with birth defects, children have lost 30 to 40 IQ points, and life expectancy may be as low as 45years because of cancers and other diseases.

Pollution is of different kinds or type, which includes

Land pollution

Water pollution

Air pollution

Noise pollution

Light pollution

LAND POLLUTION: land can become polluted by household garbage and by industrial waste. In 2010, a country like American produced about 250 million tons of garbage consisting of product packaging, grass clippings, furniture, clothing, bottles, food scraps, newspapers, appliance, paint and batteries. That’s about 4.3 pounds waste per person per day, according to the environmental protection agency.

WATER POLLUTION: water pollution happens when chemicals or dangerous foreign substances are introduced to water, including chemicals, sewage pesticides and fertilizers from agricultural runoff, or metals like lead or mercury. Worldwide, more than 500 million people drink water that could be harmful to their health. Water pollution can also affect marine life, oil and chemical pollutants can harm anything living in water. Sewage causes pathogens to grow, while organic and inorganic compound in water change the composition of the precious resource.

AIR POLLUTION: the air we breathe has a very exact chemical composition, 99 percent of it is made up nitrogen, oxygen, water vapor and inert gases. Air pollution occurs when thing that aren’t normally ther/e are added to the air. Common types of air pollution looks like soot, containing millions of ting particles floating in the air.

NOISE POLLUTION: even though human can’t see or smell noise pollution, still impacts the environment. Noise pollution happens when the sound coming from planes, industry or other sources reaches harmful levels. Research has shown that there are direct links between noise and health, including stress related illnesses, high blood pressure speech interference, hearing loss.

LIGHT POLLUTION: most people think that electricity powered lights are modern convenience, and couldn’t imagine living without them for the natural world, though, lights have changed the way that days and nights work. Some birds sing at unnatural hours in the presence of artificial light. Scientists have determined that long artificial days can affect migration schedules, as they allow for longer feeding times. Streetlight can confuse newly hatched sea turtles that rely on starlight reflecting off the waves to guide them the beach to the ocean.

PURPOSE (AIM) AND OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY

To determine or study the pollution in ombi 1 and find out the possible solution that will help the community as a hold.

Aim on how to take research and also engage our self in one or two field trip that wills kind of educating our knowledge on environmental pollution by knowing it, yourself.

RESULT OF THE RESEARCH CARRYOUT

The main pollutant which occurred in poly river Ombi1 down to college Ombi2 is air pollution due to the emission of harmful chemical goes like carbon monoxide which particulates in the air, like smokes from the Chimneys, vehicle or burning of wood and also sulphur dioxide into the making it toxic. While for the noise pollution occurred as a result of the transportation of vehicle on road from Poly River Down To College River which produce heavy noise and people get it difficult to get accumtomed to that, the highest noise leads to a situation where a normal person use the ability to hear properly as well as land pollution from poly river to college river is as a result of the dumping of waist material, domestic waste, industrial waste etc which are properly disclosed and cause harmful to substance and chemical to leach into grained and the water pollution is been contaminated by the refuse that float into the water stream.       

The water in the Bukasidi, stream which is essential for human consumption has been damage due to refuse dump along the road side which flow or float into the water that brings about color change in the stream and also the purest of the water also damage. A plot of land which is located for NUDB to dump all refuse cabbage from the main city and any other place in the locality affected the land around with the place which causes land, air, water pollution etc.

Along the DD”S world street refuse dumped at the street because serious damage which if case not taking it will result to erosion.

Pollution found behind Hillcon Royal Hotel and white house have already bring damage to the community or environment. The pollution is because by human activities which refuse are dumped without instruction, which cause land pollution and air pollution, which the whole place is being contaminated with smell and that smell is what brought Air pollution.

RECOMMENDATION

I recommend that the Government of Nasarawa state as a hole and the chairman of lafia local government area should lead his people i.e. the NUDB Nasarawa urban development board should put, in each street not less than 10 dustbin to fewer refuse dumps on the street. Also the government should be able to make a good street and water channels to enable free flow of water. On the refuse dumped at opposite Association of tippers and quarry owner of Nigeria, Government should make a proper allocation for that , so that it will not affect human activities around Government should an create awareness on effect of pollution to human health.

CONCLUSSION                  

Now after the whole research carried out on the both rivers one can come to a logical conclusion that the cause of the pollution does not only affect the rivers but also render the water useless to the people living close to the river .

 Pollution in ombi 1 is being study and the Recommendation has be underline for proper control so as to reduce the effect on human health in the society
