ABSTRACT
The study examine effect of gas flaring into the ecosystem, This study was undertaken majorly to assess the effect of gas flaring in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria. Specific objectives of the study are: To examine the effect of gas flaring on the community of living organisms in the Niger Delta of Nigeria, To ascertain whether there is any significant impact of gas flaring in the Niger Delta of Nigeria.
Concerning methodology for this study, the major instrument used for this study is the questionnaire. The questionnaire was structured in a five-like scale measuring attitude of Strongly Agreed, Agreed, Undecided, Disagree and Strongly Disagreed.
The surveys research method was used for this study. The survey technique will also allow the researcher to examine several variables and use multi-variate statistics to analyze data. Out of the population of 100 persons in the state ministry of environment, 50 persons were selected using the simple random sampling (srs) technique. In analyzing the data collected for the purpose of carrying out this research, the statistical tool known as the Pearson Product Moment Correlation (PPC) and the statistics were used. The use of sample percentage was also employed. Tables were used in presenting the data for the purpose of the simplicity and clarity. The study has the following findings; Gas flaring is hazardous to the environment. Gas flaring has many effects on the community of living organisms in the Niger delta environment. There is a significant impact of gas flaring in the Niger Delta. Gas flaring can be reduced in the Niger Delta.
The overall aim of this project is to quantify the effect of gas flaring on the community of living organisms in the Niger Delta, interpret findings, analyze implications, and convey high level results and implications to national decision-makers for sustainable and improved environment of the community of the Niger Deltas. This information should provide essential guidance for future control ofgas flares and its effect on the community been affected.
