Abstract
Water is one of the most
essential resources for sustaining life on Earth. Access to clean and safe
water is fundamental for drinking, cooking, sanitation, agriculture, and many
other human endeavors, access to clean, safe water is essential. However, industrial
waste, agricultural runoff, improper waste management, and environmental
contamination frequently damage the quality of water. This study assesses the
industrial chemical pollution on natural water and evaluates the quality of
water as well as possible health effects on the community of Federal University
Lokoja due to water contamination in federal university Lokoja. These findings
highlight significant disparities in perceived water quality across sources
within the institution, with sachet water emerging as the most concerning,
pointing to the need for improved water safety standards and quality
monitoring. It shows a gender balance and with slight pre-dominance of female
students. This distribution indicates that the sample is predominantly made up
of students, which is reflective of the broader population composition within
the university setting. This implies industrial activities is considered as
significant factors that leads to water pollution. We conclude statistically
that there is no significant relationship between source of drinking water and
illness due to water consumption among people in FUL. This implies illness may
not be strongly associated with sources of water drinking.
