Elemental Concentration and Potential Ecological Risk Assessment of Mangrove Surface Sediments in Conakry, Guinea

Nnawugwu Nwawuike & Hiroaki Ishiga · Asian Journal of Environment & Ecology · 2022

Surface sediments of Conakry mangrove, Guinea were sampled and analyzed to assess their concentration and potential ecological risks. Seventeen trace elements and five major elements were analyzed using XRF. Mean, STDEV, correlation matrix, CF, Cd, EF, PI, MPI, Eri, RI and PCI we...

Elemental Composition of Core Sediments in Niger Delta Mangrove, Nigeria

Nnawugwu Nwawuike & Hiroaki Ishiga · Journal of Geography, Environment and Earth Science International · 2018

Mangrove core sediments from Choba, Ogbogoro and Isaka in Niger Delta, Nigeria were analyzed to determine their geochemical composition. The ecological risk of the metal concentrations was assessed using Contamination Factor (CF) and Enrichment Factor (EF) while the quality of th...
