Rapid economic development and rampant urbanization are accelerating the eutrophication of coastal environments. This is the case of the bay of M'Badon in Côte d'Ivoire, located in an area not far from an open dump, which is under strong anthropogenic pressure. However, no data is available on nitrogen and phosphorus distribution in the water colum...

Nutrient contamination assessments in the three West African tropical Comoé, Bandama, and Bia Rivers (Côte d'Ivoire) were performed from March 2016 to March 2018. Five stations per river were sampled. Nutrients spatio-temporal distributions were mapped and showed nitrogen concentrations (nitrite 0.001 to 0.025 mg/L NO2−-N, and nitrate 0.26 to 3.60...

Despite increasing human activities, such as agriculture, little information is available on the status of trace metals contamination in rivers in developing countries including Côte d'Ivoire (West Africa). The aim of this study was study chemical fractions of Cu, Pb, Zn, and Ni, to identify mobility, sources and to evaluate ecological risks of tra...

Water eutrophication is a global environmental problem. In Côte d'Ivoire, no data is available to predict this phenomenon in rivers. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of agricultural activities on the eutrophication phenomenon of the N'zi River in Côte d'Ivoire. The approach used focused on two points. The first one was to determi...

Rivers and their watersheds play a key role in the global biogeochemical cycle of nitrogen and phosphorus in the biosphere. They are also important economic resources for humans. However, little information is available on eutrophication of West African coastal rivers due to costly analytical instruments and socio-economic difficulties. In this stu...

Despite increasing mining activities, and fertilizer and pesticide use in agriculture, little information is available on the status of metal(loid) contamination in rivers in West Africa. Sixty water samples were collected from three significant rivers (the Bandama, Comoé, and Bia Rivers) in Côte d’Ivoire, the world’s top cocoa producer, to examine...
