Effluent from local palm oil mill refinery in Nigeria is excessively oily and potentially genotoxic
In spite of the fact that the informal, local mills in countries like Nigeria constitute a major portion of the palm oil refinery, adequate attention has not been paid to the quality of the palm oil mill effluent (POME) they generate.In this study, therefore, the physicochemical properties and genotoxic potential of POME generated by a local mill i
