| Abstract: | This study evaluated the effects of gas flaring on the physicochemical and hydrocarbons characteristics of water sources in Warri Metropolis, Delta State, Nigeria. Rainwater samples were collected from selected areas at Delta Steel Company (DSC) Roundabout (Warri), Afiesere Town(Ughelli) and College of Science premises in Federal University of Petroleum Resources, Effurun, (FUPRE). All water sample results were compared with WHO standards for drinking water. The results revealed that water samples from the areas had considerable high levels of turbidity, total chlorine, nitrate, sulphates, lead, zinc, and copper with an acidic pH range of 4.50 to 6.30. All sampling sites also showed a high level of TPH contamination. TPH values ranged from 171.156mg/l to 241.947mg/l. The carbon chain length of aliphatics (n-alkanes) in the sampling areas were recorded from C8 to C40 dominated by heavy hydrocarbons (C36-C40), and the total n-alkanes ranged from 170.814mg/l to 241.891mg/l. The range of total PAHs compounds across the sampling areas was 0.343mg/l to 4.430mg/l. Therefore, gas flaring is a potential pollutant source in water, which could have an adverse health impact on the entire residents of (population) Warri and Ughelli metropolis and in other areas where this operation has been carried out. |
