Abstract

Potential emission of dioxin and furan from open burning of agricultural crop residue Postharvest waste generated in Biu local government area of Borno state, Nigeria was estimated.

This is with a view to knowing the types, quantity and strength of these crop residues generated and the estimate of dioxin and furan released annually so that an inventory of UPOPs can be created. The method adopted was field survey and focus group discussion using a set of structured questions.

The total hectare of land cultivated for the selected crop type as contained in the UNEP standard toolkit from the host communities were estimated to be 1450ha. for the period of the study.

The study revealed that; maize, sorghum and rice were produced in large quantity in the area. For maize alone in ten communities, 140 tonnes of waste was generated, sorghum118 tonnes, millet 115 tonnes, rice 111 tonnes and cowpea 53 tonnes of waste was generated. The major waste management measure adopted is ‘open burning’.

Introduction

Wastes are materials that are not prime products (that products produced for the market) for which the initial user has no purpose of production, transformation or consumption, and of which the user wants to dispose.

Waste may be generated during the extraction of raw materials, the processing of raw materials, into intermediate and final products, the consumption of final products, and other human activities, (UNSD, 1997).

Miller (1980) defined waste as substances and materials that are disposed of according to the provision of natural law.

Zero waste America (2003) also defines waste as a resource that is not safely recycled back into the environment or market place.

Waste (residue, trash, refuse, garbage, Junk or litter) is an unwanted or useless material (ISWA and UNEP, 2002).
