Evaluation of the Effects of Brewery Effluents Disposal on Public Water Bodies in Nigeria

Investigation of the effect of brewery industries effluents disposal on their surrounding surface and ground waters were carried out. Four brewery industries at different locations in Benin, Ibadan and Lagos were selected for the study. The water samples were subjected to laboratory analysis to determine variation in physical, chemical and elemental components of the samples. The results of the groundwater parameters examined tended to fall within the Federal Ministry of Environment and Urban Development (FMEUD) and World Heath Organization (WHO) recommended standard values. The results of the surface waters when compared with National (FMEUD) and International (WHO) permissible limits for aquatic ecosystems indicated that the physicochemical condition of the streams located at Agidingbi, Alaka, Ona and Ossioma have been influenced by the various pollutants.
