| dc.description.abstract | This paper discussed soil properties, heavy metals and their concentration in the soil samples from two selected areas of auto mechanic workshops and the University campus at a depth of 0-15cm. 5g of soil from each of the four samples collected, was crushed with mortar and pestle and diluted into liquid with HNO3 & HCI using X-Ray Fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF). The result revealed the control soil had more sand percentage of (67%) and moisture (5.30%) than the affected soil and other physicochemical properties higher in the affected soil sample than the control soils sample. pH'(H20) (6.6), pH (CaCI2) (5.7) CEC (9.1 mol/kg), OM, (5.6%), Clay (3.97), PSD (7.2 mg/kg). Concentration of heavy metals revealed that Si (12423.707), Al (8855.606), Mg (4405.253), Ca (1777.265) & ti (1794.039) were in the control sample. In the affected sample, Fe (4837.824±), P (268.227j, Cl (133.350), Ni (10.576), Cu (10.938), Co (21.307), Zn (129.885), Mn (141.365), Sr (3598.444) & S (1413.349). The high concentration of heavy metals jn the mechanic village will adversely affect the plants and animals in the area. It carf'^isp!-.result in damage of nervous system, kidney, skin irritation and hypertension:’"It was'''recommended that substances containing heavy metals should not be disposed in farm lands or any dumpsites close to residential areas. | en_US |
