The dataset for this article contains geostatistical analysis of the level to which groundwater quality around a municipal waste dumpsite located in Oke-Afa, Oshodi/Isolo area of Lagos state, southwestern has been compromised for drinking. Groundwater samples were collected from eight hand-dug wells and two borehole wells around or near the dumpsite. The pH, turbidity, salinity, conductivity, total hydrocarbon, total dissolved solids (TDS), dissolved oxygen, chloride, Sulphate (SO), Nitrate (NO) and Phosphate (PO) were determined for the water samples and compared with World Health Organization (WHO) drinking water standard. Notably, the turbidity, TDS, chloride and conductivity of some of the samples were above the WHO acceptable limits. Also, high quantities of heavy metals such as Aluminum and Barium were also present as shown from the data. The dataset can provide insights into the health implications of the contaminants especially when the mean concentration levels of the contaminants are above the recommended WHO drinking water standard.
本文的数据集包含对位于拉各斯州奥肖迪/伊索洛地区奥克-阿法的一个城市垃圾场周围地下水水质受饮用水影响程度的地统计学分析。从垃圾场周围或附近的8口手挖井和2口钻孔井采集了地下水样本。测定了水样的pH值、浊度、盐度、电导率、总碳氢化合物、总溶解固体(TDS)、溶解氧、氯化物、硫酸盐(SO)、硝酸盐(NO)和磷酸盐(PO),并与世界卫生组织(WHO)的饮用水标准进行了比较。值得注意的是,一些样本的浊度、TDS、氯化物和电导率高于WHO可接受的限值。此外,数据显示还存在大量重金属,如铝和钡。该数据集可以提供有关污染物对健康影响的见解,特别是当污染物的平均浓度水平高于WHO推荐的饮用水标准时。
