Physicochemical Parameters and Heavy Metals Characterization of Soil from Okpella Mining Area in Edo State, Nigeria

The present study examines the physicochemical parameters and heavy metal contents of soil from Okpella Mining  Area in Edo State. Top soil samples and   control  samples from about 200m from the mining area were analyzed for  their heavy metals content using Atomic Absorption Spectrometer (AAS) techniques. The pH, electrical  conductivity and orga...

Health Risks Assessment of Heavy Metals in Noodles Sold in Ozoro, Delta State, Nigeria

The concentrations of some selected heavy metals were assessed by atomic absorption spectrophotometry in noodles sold in the study area. Total of eight different brands of noodles were investigated. The results of heavy metals in samples in mg/kg were in the order: Fe (13.15 – 144.75); Pb (0.00 – 0.55); Cd (0.00 – 0.01); As (0.00 – 0.14); Ni (0....

Heavy Metals Status of Soil Around Waste Dumpsites in Ughelli Metropolis, Delta State

Ojebah C. K.*, Uwague A., Edema O. G.

This study investigated the heavy metal status of soils around waste dumpsites in Ughell, metropolis, Delta State, Nigeria. Two different dumpsites were used for this study. For the metal analysis, soil samples were collected at 0-15cm depth. The soil samples were air dried for five days and sieved. 2.0g of the soil sample was digested with HNO3...
