Abstract:
... Cassava, a staple crop in Nigeria, processed by numerous factories in rural and suburban locations is known to contain some level of cyano compounds. Lack of stringent environmental regulations on the management of cassava wastewater (CWW) from cassava-processing factories had led to its indiscriminate discharge on the environment. CWW samples were obtained from cassava-processing factories from s ...
