Abstract:
Environmental monitoring is essential for assessing the status and supporting development policies related to soil, air, and water quality. This study focuses on Drury Industries Limited, established in 1986, which is one of West Africa’s leading manufacturers of Aluminium sulfate and sulfuric acid. The company operates multiple production lines, including Sulfuric Acid Plant I (52,000 MT/year), Sulfuric Acid Plant II (60,500 MT/year), and Aluminium sulfate (90,000 MT/year). The sulfuric acid produced is a crucial raw material, enhancing efficiency in various industrial processes. Located on 177,145 m2 at Plot 9/18, Opic Industrial Estate, Agbara, Ogun State, the facility’s coordinates are N06032′28.1″ E003o04′36.1″. This study evaluates various physicochemical parameters that impact human health, productivity, and relevant meteorological data. The findings will not only safeguard health but also serve as a reference for similar industrial sites. By publishing this data in the Journal «Mine Surveying and Subsurface Use» we aim to fill a gap, as many relevant studies in Sub-Saharan Africa remain unpublished. This research will aid in preserving and protecting essential resources within complex environments.
