Zn>Ni>Cu>Co>Pb for sediments from Mbat-Abiati Creek and Zn>Ni>Pb>Cu>Co for that of Oberekkai Creek (Table 2; Fig. 4). Thus, the highest accumulation of heavy metals in sediments
This paper is focused on the possible impact of gas flaring on the pH, Cd, Pb, Cu, Zn, Fe, and Mn concentrations in the rainwaters of Jeddo community, Delta State, Nigeria. The Rainwater samples were collected from two locations in the community. The samples were then taken to the laboratory for analyses. The result for the pH for both …
In Nigeria, artisanal mining has become a serious issue. In the Nigerian mining region of Arufu Pb–Zn–F, this study assessed the level of pollution, ecological …
The bioaccumulation factors (BAFs) of heavy metal (Fe, Zn, Pb, Cd, Cr, Cu, Mn, and As) concentrations in benthic and pelagic fish organs (muscles, gills, liver, and hearts), and concentrations of ...
This study was designed to investigate heavy metal concentrations (Cu, Zn, Pb, Cr and Cd) and assess their ecological risk using contamination factor (Cf), pollution load index (PLI) and ...
The contamination factor of the heavy metals follows order: Pb > Cu > Cr > Zn > Fe for both dumpsites. The degree of contamination ranged from (1612.51 to …
This study was conducted to investigate the pollution load index, fraction distributions, and mobility of Pb, Cd, Cu, and Zn in garden and paddy soils collected from a Pb/Zn mine in Chenzhou City, China. The samples were analyzed using Leleyter and Probst's sequential extraction procedures. Total metal concentrations including Pb, Cd, …

Highlights Offline pre-concentration of trace metals in seawater with Nobias-chelate PA1 resin. ICP-MS detection of Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd, and Pb. UV-oxidation is necessary for accurate determination of Cu and Co. Standard additions to seawater showed quantitative recovery of all metals. Vertical profiles from the U.S. GEOTRACES Baseline …
*Corresponding Author Email: adebayokabir@ymail Heavy metal contamination of soil, water, and crops, and their health impact on residents, is a persistent social issue, and several studies have identified health risks of residents living near abandoned mines. The concentration of selected heavy metals (Cd, Cu, Pb, Zn, and Fe) in soils and water …
The results show that the best indicator plant species for Cd and Pb is Panicum maximum, and the two elemental pollutants showed generally similar behavior intake as regards the various plant species. Plant samples collected from urban, rural cultivated sites and an abandoned mine in Nigeria during the rainy season showed …

The levels reported had an abundance ratio in the order Pb>Zn>Hg>Cu in the soil samples. It is recommended that appropriate measures be put in place by the …
The concentrations of four heavy metals, Zn, Mn, Fe and Cu were determined in the roots and leaves of lettuce (Lactuca sativa) and spinach (Amaranthus caudatus) cultivated in Potiskum, Yobe State, Nigeria. The heavy metals were also determined in soil where the vegetables were cultivated. The determination processes were done by Atomic …
Soils around the Ewekoro cement production area were low to extremely contaminated by toxic metals, and levels of heavy metals reported were higher than those from similar cement production areas. Background. Exposure to heavy metals emanating from cement production and other anthropogenic activities can pose ecological risks. Objectives. A …
The metal transfer factors in the tubers and the leafy vegetables were in the order: Mo > Cu > Zn > Mn > As > Cd > Cr > Ni > Pb and Cd > Cu > Zn > Mn > Mo > As > Ni > Pb > Cr, respectively. Risk assessment studies revealed no health risk in surrounding populations for most of the heavy metals.
Mining activities have been undertaken for over 95 years in Enyigba area of southeastern Nigeria. In this area, thirty-six (36) trace metals including those that are essential for plant and animal nutrition have been analyzed from forty-nine (49) soil samples that were collected from three Pb-Zn mines.
