Assessment of Heavy Metal Pollution of Surface Soils from Scrapyards in Benin City, Nigeria
Scrap metals found in scrapyards accounts for a large proportion of municipal solid waste in Nigeria. They are a menace to the environment and pose potential health risk to nearby residents. This study assessed the physicochemical quality and heavy metal contamination of surface soils from selected scrapyards in Benin City, Nigeria. Surface soils were collected from 12 randomly selected scrapyards between February and April 2018. Physicochemical analyses were carried out using standard analytical methods, while heavy metal (Fe, Cd, Zn, Cr, and Pb) concentrations were determined using atomic ab…
