BACKGROUND
Solid waste dump sites have proven to have potentially high risk to human health as it serves as a source of air, soil and underground water pollution.
AIM
This study aimed to assess and compare the knowledge, respiratory disorders and skin disorders between residents living close to and far from landfill sites in Lagos State, Nigeria.
SETTING
Igando (a community within 5 km close to) and Badagry (a community beyond 5 km from) Solous Landfill sites in Lagos state, Nigeria.
METHODS
A comparative cross-sectional study amongst 103 respondents recruited from each of the two study sites by multistage sampling method was carried out. Data were collected using pretested, structured, interviewer-administered questionnaire, and analysed using Microsoft Excel 2007, EPI Info 7 and WinPepi statistical software packages. Student t-test, Fisher's exact and Chi-square tests were carried out. The p ≤ 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
RESULTS
The mean age of Igando and Badagry respondents was 34.18 ± 10.21 years and 32.62 ± 9.84 years, respectively. The two communities differed significantly (p 0.0001) with respect to distance of workplace from landfill site and duration of stay in the residential location. The mean knowledge score of respondents on respiratory and skin disorders associated with solid waste dump site close to landfill sites (82.53 ± 20.60) was statistically significantly higher than those of respondents far from landfill sites (71.84 ± 20.57) (p = 0.0003). Respiratory and skin disorders experiences of respondents close to landfill sites were statistically significantly (p 0.0001) higher than those of residents far from landfill sites with respect to wheezing, frequent sneezing, unpleasant odour, fever and skin rashes.
CONCLUSION
Respiratory and skin disorders experienced by respondents close to landfill sites are higher than those of residents far from landfill sites. Landfill sites should not be located close to human settlements.
背景
固体废物倾倒场已被证明对人类健康具有潜在的高风险，因为它们是空气、土壤和地下水污染的源头。
目的
本研究旨在评估和比较尼日利亚拉各斯州靠近和远离垃圾填埋场的居民在知识、呼吸和皮肤疾病方面的差异。
地点
尼日利亚拉各斯州伊甘多（距离垃圾填埋场 5 公里以内的社区）和巴达格里（距离垃圾填埋场 5 公里以外的社区）。
方法
采用多阶段抽样法，从两个研究地点各招募 103 名受访者进行了一项比较性横断面研究。使用经过预测试的、结构化的、由访谈员管理的问卷收集数据，并使用 Microsoft Excel 2007、EPI Info 7 和 WinPepi 统计软件包进行分析。进行了学生 t 检验、Fisher 精确检验和卡方检验。p≤0.05 被认为具有统计学意义。
结果
伊甘多和巴达格里受访者的平均年龄分别为 34.18±10.21 岁和 32.62±9.84 岁。两个社区在工作场所与垃圾填埋场的距离和在居住地点的停留时间方面存在显著差异（p<0.0001）。对靠近垃圾填埋场的固体废物倾倒场相关的呼吸和皮肤疾病的知识得分，靠近垃圾填埋场的受访者（82.53±20.60）明显高于远离垃圾填埋场的受访者（71.84±20.57）（p=0.0003）。靠近垃圾填埋场的受访者在呼吸和皮肤疾病方面的体验明显高于远离垃圾填埋场的居民，在气喘、频繁打喷嚏、难闻气味、发热和皮疹方面均如此（p<0.0001）。
结论
靠近垃圾填埋场的受访者经历的呼吸和皮肤疾病比远离垃圾填埋场的居民更高。垃圾填埋场不应靠近人类住区。
