“…The degree of toxicity of crude oil and its products depends on the chemical compounds present and their concentration (Environmental Protection Agency;EPA, 1999). In addition, spilled oil volume, residual oil volume on site, impacted area environment, response, recovery, and cleanup timing determines crude oil toxicity (Mohamadi et al, 2016). Different biological species, including both eukaryotes and prokaryotes, and their life stages respond differently to the pollutants (Hao et al, 2004).…”

“…It has been reported that daily maximum surface temperature and hydrophobicity of petroleum contaminated soils is often higher in contaminated soil and anaerobic soil conditions are easily established (Wang et al, 2013). Heavy crude oil pollution can cause complete mortality of marsh vegetation (Lin & Mendelssohn, 2012;Mohamadi et al, 2016). Hence, it becomes continuously detrimental and finally, its consequences lead to deprived crop growth and soil conditions (Aislabie et al, 2004).…”

Petroleum hydrocarbons are among the major driving forces of advancement in the last Century. Some of the hydrocarbons especially polycyclic aromatics are however of health and environmental significance, due to their recalcitrance and persistence leading to adverse effects on health and ecosystem stability. A number of treatment technologies have been used to cleanup hydrocarbon contaminants and the use of phytoremediation technology have recently been described as promising. In this study, phytoremediation of weathered crude oil contaminated soil was carried out in a microcosm using Pennisetumpurpureum for 60 days. Pristine soil samples were collected and mixed with weathered petroleum contaminated soil to achieve 5%, 25%, 35% and 50% w/w contamination levels. Bacterial species in the rhizosphere were isolated and identified and residual oil was extracted and analyzed using GC-MS. Results showed that there was high bacterial population in rhizosphere (5.0×105 cfu/g to 6.4×105 cfu/g) than non-rhizosphere soil (2.4 ×105 cfu/g to 4.0×105 cfu/g); and Bacillus spp. (64.71%) were observed to be predominant in the rhizosphere followed by Micrococcus spp. (17.65%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (5.88%), Klebsiella pneumoniae (5.88%) and Flavobacterium sp. (5.88%). Hydrocarbon concentration in the rhizosphere was reduced by 82.5%, 60.5%, 58.0% and 48.8% respectively. Complex polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon compounds detected in the control using GC-MS were significantly reduced or completely degraded. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons such as anthracene, naphthalene, fluorene, benzo (a) anthracene, pyrene and chrysene were significantly reduced at a rate ranging between 13.33% and 97.54%. Based on the rate of PAHs reduction observed in this study, it was evident that P. purpureumsupports cleanup of persistent hydrocarbon contaminants in soil environment. The use of this plant in large scale petroleum hydrocarbon cleanup under field conditions should be investigated.

“…Environmental problems have indirectly or directly adversely affected the inhabitants and host communities in the region (Gabriel, 2004). Among the ecological disasters in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria, oil spill is considered as one of the biggest problems caused by petroleum industry (Mohamadi, Liu & Xie, 2016). Oil spills constitute the major environmental hazards in the oil and gas industry in Nigeria (Oweikeye, 2017).…”

The role of compensatory health beliefs, locus of control and social support on quality of life in oil-spills prone environment in developing countries, especially Nigeria has not been explicated. This study examined the role of compensatory health beliefs, locus of control and social support on quality of life among 453 (age 21-50 years; M= 36.02; SD = 12.04) residents in Ilaje and Ese-Odo Local Government Area (LGA’s) in Ondo State of Nigeria. A purposive sampling technique was adopted in selecting participants. Data were collected through a self-administered questionnaire that measured socio-demographics, compensatory health beliefs, locus of control, social support and quality of life. Results revealed that compensatory health beliefs predict quality of life in the study area. Also, social support contributes to quality of life. We suggest that a comprehensive psychosocial intervention program should be carried out to improve quality of life in oil spill-prone communities.

“…Although several studies have focused on oil spills detection and mapping [10][11][12][13][14], environmental, health and socioeconomic impacts of oil spills [15][16][17][18][19][20][21], and geospatial analysis of oil spill distribution [22,23] in different parts of Nigeria. However, space-time cluster analysis of oil spills at LGA-level seems to be lacking.…”

Oil spills cause environmental pollution with a serious threat to local communities and sustainable development. Accidental oil spills can be modelled as a stochastic process where each oil spill event is described by its spatial locations and incidence-time and hence allow for space-time cluster analysis. Spacetime cluster analysis can detect space-time pattern distribution of oil spills which can be useful for implementing preventive measures and evidence-based decision making. This study aims to detect the space-time clusters of accidental oil spills in Rivers state, Nigeria through the Space-time Scan Statistic. The Space-time Scan Statistic was applied under the permutation model to the oil spill data (each for sabotage and operational oil spills) collected at Local Government Area (LGA)-level during the period from 2011 to 2019. The results show that the sabotage oil spill clusters have covered most of the LGAs in the southern part of the state at the start of the study period and then in 2018-2019, it moved to the west covering a single LGA. The operational oil spill clusters covered two neighboringLGAs in the south. In addition, the temporal cluster of sabotage oil spills was seen in 2019 and operational oil spills in 2011-2012. The sabotage oil spills show an increasing trend with the maximum in 2019 while the operational oil spills show a decreasing trend with the minimum in 2019. These findings assist in more effective decision-making for combating the environmental problems and controlling the future spill incidence in the cluster-regions.
