An environmental scientific report into the crude oil spillage incidence in Tein community, Biseni, Bayelsa state Nigeria

The disease burden associated with oil spill exposure is significant and rising, particularly in the Tein community. The impact of oil activities in the Niger Delta region has become a major source of concern for all, prompting a scientific report on their impact on health, the environment, agriculture, and people’s lives in general. As a result, this paper investigates the Tein community and how the oil company’s operations impacted the environment and the lives of the residents in general. To assess the various concentrations of contaminants in the environmental media studied with the Intervention values prescribed, various approaches were used. Standard criteria and procedures were used to collect and analyze samples. According the study site poses an unacceptable risk to human health and requires immediate intervention. It is recommended that the Nigerian Agip Oil Company (NAOC) manage their operations and relationships with the community in a sensitive and professional manner in order to avoid conflicts and losses, as this will reduce the negative effects of oil operations in Tein Community. Furthermore, NAOC should deal directly with landowners whose parcels of land are directly affected, rather than through chiefs or Community Based Organizations (CBOs). This report supports the contention that it provides a valuable source of data for developing effective, forward-thinking solutions that are clear and equitable, analyzing differential impacts, and thinking hard about policy and decision-makers coherence, particularly as it relates to everyone when dealing with oil spills, and can help support action toward further oil spills and environmental improvement.
