Environmental Effect of Petroleum Products on Discharge inEnvironments at Maiduguri and Port Harcourt Depot of Nigeria

Naturally occurring waters at the Maiduguri depot and Port-HarcOurt refinery in Nigeria have been collected to study the. effect on discharge of pettoleum product in the enviromuents. TI1e solutions were analysed for the elenlental contents. The values have been used in computer programme, to calculate fhe distribution of the species. The resu!ts show Zn and Pb rati? of 4.1 in Maidu~uri sample and average of 1.54 to 2.75 m PortlJarCourt. Chem1cal compounds a1)d subsequently seconda1y minerals are possibly able to crystallize from the solution with the higher ratio.
