Qualité et Pollution Des Eaux D’Un Hydrosystème Littoral Tropical : Cas Du Système Lagunaire De Lomé, Togo (original) (raw)

2015, European Scientific Journal

This study was conducted to evaluate the physicochemical quality and heavy metals (HM) in the water of Lomé lagoon system. The conductivity, pH, nitrogen, phosphorus, organic matter and HM were determined by AFNOR methods. The results showed that the waters of Lomé lagoon system have generally pH close to neutral (pH between 7.34 and 8.5). However, the balance of the water in the equilibrum canal has an acid pH (pH 6.53). The levels of nitrogen and phosphorus are relatively high 1.27 mg/L phosphorus against 0.15 mg/L in natural waters. Dissolved organic matter is higher at the site C 4 over the entire lagoon system. The East Lake E 3 and E 1 sites recorded a high rate of mineralization with 2536 mg/L of dissolved salts. The contents of the major ions such as Ca 2+ , Na + , K + , Mg 2+ , Cl-, NO 3-, SO 4 2and HCO 3 helped to highlight the nature of brackish water of Lomé lagoon system. The material suspended (77 mg/L
