Abstract

The Moanda region, located in the Kongo-Central province of the Democratic Republic of Congo, is subject to significant environmental pressure related to oil activities. 

This study aims to assess the level of hydrocarbon pollution in the waters of the Kokokoumba River. Water samples were taken at various strategic points and analyzed to determine total hydrocarbon (THC) concentrations. The results indicate significant water contamination, attributable to accidental spills, leaks from oil installations, and poor industrial waste management. This pollution represents a major risk to aquatic ecosystems and the health of the population in this region.
