  • Exploring the barriers to the adoption and implementation of carbon emission trading practices for a carbon neutral society
    Samuel I. Egwunatum, Benjamin E. Idisi, MercyJane N. Ihekweme, Michael N. Anosike
    Discover Environment, 2026
    Achieving a carbon–neutral society requires effective implementation of carbon emissions trading practices. However, various barriers hinder the adoption and implementation of these practices. This study investigates the barriers to carbon emissions trading practices, focusing on industry professionals' perspectives. A quantitative approach was employed, collecting data from 80 industry professionals. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was used to analyze the data. From the study, major barriers to carbon emission trading adoption include limited infrastructure (0.750), rigorous monitoring systems (0.744), high production costs, and lack of emission reduction incentives, hindering effective carbon reduction strategies. The findings reveal that limited infrastructure, rigorous monitoring systems, high production costs, and lack of encouragement for emissions reduction are significant barriers. This study identifies and prioritizes key barriers to carbon emissions trading adoption in Nigeria's construction sector via PCA of 263 professionals' perceptions. Providing sector-specific insights, it informs targeted policy interventions, addressing a critical gap in Nigeria's carbon market development. By addressing these barriers, industries can transition towards sustainable practices, reducing their carbon footprint and contributing to a more environmentally friendly future. This study's findings have implications for policymakers, industry professionals, and researchers seeking to promote sustainable development and mitigate climate change. The recommended monitoring and evaluation framework can guide the development of effective carbon emissions trading systems.

    Environmental pollution has become a major threat to public safety, and the integrity of bioactive compounds in medical plants. This investigation was conducted to assess the consequence of petroleum hydrocarbons contamination, on the nutritional and medicinal qualities of Aloe vera (L.), and to evaluate the efficiency of the various remediation strategies. During the study, soil contaminated with 20% crude oil (petroleum), was treated with five different treatments (T1 to T5), which consist of different concentrations of organic manure, potassium permanganate, and improved seaweed extract manure. All the laboratory tests were conducted by following standard procedures. Specifically, high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), was used to measure the concentrations of vitamins A and E, as well as the acemannan and aloin, while the Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis, was utilized to evaluate the presence petroleum hydrocarbons inside the extract. The results revealed that, the petroleum contamination and treatment strategies have significant influence, on the extract’s phytochemicals and the antioxidant activity behavior. The extract vitamins A, C and E concentrations varied from 7.68 to 12.47 mg/kg, 1323.67 to 2116 mg/kg, and 54.30 to 73.28 mg/kg, respectively. Additionally, TPC and TFC level of extract varied from 30.15 to 78.50 mg GAE/g, and 9.51 to 38.01 mg QE/g, respectively. The Treatment 4 unit (OM + ISE) showed the best remediation performance, with the highest essential bioactive compounds recovery rates. This affirmed that seaweed extract and organic matters are potential eco-friendly materials, with high efficacy in alleviating the harmful effects, associated with petroleum toxicity on medical plants. This will lead to maximization of the therapeutic benefits of Aloe vera plant, grown in petroleum contaminated environment, thus guaranteeing public safety.

  • Assessing green building practices: A case study of Ozoro, Delta State, Nigeria
    Mark Omeiza Onipe, Chuks Maduadi, Benjamin Evi Idisi, Ese Agbe
    European Journal of Sustainable Development Research, 2025
    Green building practices offer sustainable solutions to environmental and social challenges in construction. However, their adaptation to regions with unique climatic and socio-economic conditions, such as Ozoro in Delta State, Nigeria, remains underexplored. This study evaluates green building practices in Ozoro, focusing on energy efficiency, water management, and occupant health. A mixed-methods approach, involving surveys, interviews, and focus group discussions, was used to assess the awareness and adoption of sustainable construction methods. Results indicate limited awareness of green practices, with the most adopted being energy-efficient lighting (91%) and natural ventilation (37%). Barriers include unreliable energy infrastructure, low adoption of solar panels and rainwater harvesting, and inadequate waste management practices. Interviews highlight the need for increased public education, policy support, and the integration of local materials to enhance sustainability. The findings contribute to addressing the gap in sustainable development research by proposing tailored strategies to promote green building adoption in tropical environments like Ozoro.
  • Electrochemical and microbiological effects of dumpsite leachates on soil and air quality

    This study investigated the environmental impact and health challenges of poorly managed solid waste materials. During this study, soil specimens were sampled at five spatial points (within a radius of 250 m) from the active and passive unlined dumpsites. Thereafter, the electrical properties and microbiology levels of the heavy metals, cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), nickel (Ni), and arsenic (As) sampled specimens were evaluated in accordance with approved International standards. Also, the environmental air quality was measured using a portable gas detector. The results obtained revealed that the dumpsite activities substantially increased the soil’s heavy metal concentration, while the total bacterial count in the contaminated soils ranged from 7.54 × 106 to 128.30 × 106 cfu/g. Likewise, the soil’s electrical conductivity and electrical resistivity varied from 21.31 to 76.02 mS/m and 7.61 to 17.23 Ω m, respectively. Exceptionally, the SO2, NOx, and NH3 levels around the active dumpsite vicinity were greater than the level approved by the World Health Organization. Furthermore, the contamination factor and pollution load index results indicated that the dumpsite neighborhood soils were contaminated with toxic metals. The findings of this study have highlighted the necessity of proper waste management approaches to avoid toxic metal toxicity, epidemic diseases, and disruption of telecommunication services.
