An Explanatory Survey on The Concentration of Heavy Metals a Long Dumpsite Areas of North-Eastern Part of Nigeria
Abstract
Heavy metal pollution is a global issue of concern which results from both biogenic and anthropogenic activities. Hence, an investigation of soil pollution is pertinent because of its potential threat to human health. This paper is an attempt to survey the heavy metals concentration a long dump site area of North-East Nigeria. However, limited or little work was done in the area on the subject in the area. It was found out that the heavy metals were relatively above the acceptable levels whether due to natural or human factors may leads to environmental hazards polluting the soil and causing health problems. It is suggested therefore, intensive research should be geared towards assessing the heavy metals concentration a long dump site area of North-east Nigeria to supplement the limited information on the subject in the region for effective policy making for sustainable development.
