Leilei, K.E. | Sikoki, E.D. | Enodiana, O.I.
The physico-chemical characteristics of water samples contaminated with a mixture of the water accommodated fractions (WAF) dispersed and undispersed phases of Bonny Light crude oil at sub-lethal concentrations of 0.2, 0.4, 0.8 and 1.6ml/L were analyzed to assess their effects on the water quality of test media containing a fish, Oreochromis niloticus. These were measured against a control. The temperature, PH, DO, TDS, conductivity and redox potential of (P< 0.05) by the presence of the mixture especially by the dispersed phase at the diifferent concentrations, and these were positively correlated.
