Abstract:The physicochemical characteristics and heavy metal concentrations of the soil and water in Ogbor Hill, Aba were examined in relation to the effects of abattoir effluent and dumpsite. Samples were taken from the water in a borehole, an abattoir, and a dumpsite. These samples’ physicochemical characteristics and heavy metal concentrations were identified. The results showed that the borehole water had nickel and iron at concentrations of 0.15±0.07 mg/kg and 0.18±0.09 mg/kg, respectively, but no copper or lead. … Show more
