Ecotoxicology/Environmental Forensics Unit
Unit Brief
Ecotoxicology and Environmental Forensic is a research Unit of the National Centre for Energy and Environment. The Unit was created with the aim of providing a battery of biomarkers and safe limits for industrial chemicals and pesticides used in Nigeria. The Unit conducts empirical studies which involve field survey and laboratory experimentation. Ecotoxicological trials which involves short-term (acute) and long-term (sub chronic) exposures are conducted using whole effluent toxicity testing, toxicity identification evaluation/toxicity reduction evaluation, dredged material testing, solid waste leachates testing, sediment and soil toxicity testing, water effect ratio studies, water quality testing.
We also conduct chemical trace analysis, elemental trace analysis, industrial and municipal wastewaters analysis and industrial plant environmental monitoring and safety. Studies are designed to assess the biological effects of organic and inorganic contaminants using amphibians/reptiles, fish, aquatic and terrestrial invertebrates (e.g. zooplankton, insects, snails, and earthworms), phytoplankton, aquatic and terrestrial vascular plants to determine effects on survival, growth, development and reproduction.
Purpose:
To determine, predict and prevent the associated effects and risks of contaminants and develop strategies for monitoring them
To identify the source and fate of toxic substances in the environment
To work with federal, state and local stakeholders to identify ways to reduce ecological risks while protecting public health
The specific functions of the unit takes its root from the Centre's mandate and are as follows:
- To develop approach for screening dominant risk stressors
- To document environmental degraded sites in Niger Delta Region
- To evaluate and monitor polluted waters
- To conduct hazard and risk assessment of contaminants
- To conduct ecotoxicological trials and environmental criteria for new chemicals.
- To disseminate research findings
Research Focus
The research focus of the ecotoxicology and environmental forensic unit is to determine:
- Ecosystem modelling
- Bioavailability and bioaccumulation
- Toxicities of organic/inorganic chemicals
- Aquatic/Terrestrial Ecotoxicology
- Environmental Change and Wildlife Health
- Biodiversity and Endocrine disruption/biological effects of Chemical
pollutants (pesticides, petroleum, industrial contaminants,
pharmaceuticals) - Source, fate and effects of toxic and emerging contaminants in the environment
- Sediment & Terrestrial Toxicity
- Ecotoxicological Effects of Persistent Toxic Substances

Solar & Wind Unit
Unit Brief
The solar and wind energy unit of the Centre is tasked with carrying out research, development and demonstration of pilot projects, highlighting the potentials and sustainability of solar and wind energy technologies.
The specific functions of the unit takes its root from the Centre's mandate and are as follows:
- Establish performance characteristics of solar/wind pilot projects.
- To research indigenous materials for solar and wind energy technology applications. These options can be cost effective as well as provide improved technical performance.
- Carry out research and development activities to improve on existing solar and wind energy technologies.
Research Focus
Our focus is on studying airfoil geometry as is suited to the wind conditions within the South-south region, which will eventually aid in the design and fabrication of indigenously produced wind turbine blades. This will serve as replacements for the NCEE solar/wind energy hybrid power generation system.
Exploit research options to overcome challenges encountered during previous projects aimed at producing solar cell(s)/modules indigenously, considering performance optimization and solar-electrical power conversion efficiency.
Research into power efficiency optimization, power loss reduction for the design of an indigenous eco-friendly power generator.
