Heavy metal pollution is a significant environmental concern in Nigeria, posing risks to ecological integrity and public health. This study aims evaluate the existing policies regulations addressing heavy pollution, assess their effectiveness, propose recommendations for improvement. The analysis reveals that while Nigeria has established robust legislative framework, challenges implementation, enforcement, funding persist. impact of reducing influenced by resource constraints, limited capacity, need stronger collaboration between regulatory bodies industries. Community involvement education play crucial role managing emphasizing importance awareness, sustainable practices, local engagement. Remediation strategies, such as bioremediation phytoremediation, offer potential solutions. However, gaps knowledge research exist, calling long-term monitoring, assessments, comprehensive health risk assessments. To enhance effectiveness current policies, periodic reviews, increased funding, community-based monitoring programs are recommended. By these implementing proposed recommendations, can make strides towards mitigating achieving sustainability.

Marine heavy metal pollution has been an important global environmental issue in recent years. Concentrations of nine metals (Pb, Cr, Ni, Cu, Zn, Co, Cd, As, and Hg) from marine sediments (2015, n = 38) the Changjiang River Estuary contiguous East China Sea were determined. The total contents ranged 134.0 μg/g to 357.8 μg/g, with Cr as most abundant component. Pearson correlation coefficient matrix metals, granularity, organic carbon (TOC) samples determined, a preliminary ecological risk assessment was conducted three aspects. According investigation, commonly found affected by terrestrial inputs large extent. Their concentration distributions significantly granularity well TOC. Preliminary showed that Cd Hg identified dominant sediment study areas strong risk. Overall, situation not optimistic 2015, it is worthy further investigation into whether condition improved strengthening governmental protection.

The Yangtze River Midstream Urban Agglomeration is a pivotal economic zone in China. Over the past 35 years, climate change has increased ecosystem vulnerability and instability this area. Therefore, assessing landscape ecological risk (LER) vital for region. This study analyzed LER variations from 1985 to 2020 using statistical methods indices, forecasted changes 2025 2050 with multi-model meteorological data. Results show following: (1) indices have decreased over last notable shift high-risk medium-risk areas. High areas remained concentrated low-elevation, densely urbanized central regions, indicating severe damage compared high-elevation (2) Climate significantly impacts index, temperature exerting stronger influence than precipitation. Overall, decreases rising temperatures precipitation, though some cities exhibit opposite trends. (3) Future multi-Shared Socioeconomic Pathway scenarios suggest general decrease predominantly resulting low- zones. will persist low-elevation zones, particularly southern plains. Given high plains, timely governmental regulation control measures are essential ensuring ecologically sustainable development.
