Abstract:Heavy metals are metallic elements with high density compared to other metals and are toxic even at minute concentrations. The concentration of these metals around schools and automobile workshops near frequented roads in Kaduna State, Nigeria, was reported in the present work. Soil samples were collected at varying distances from the major roads (0 – 10m) and at different depths (0 – 60cm). The elemental composition of the samples was determined using Next-Generation Cartesian Geometry Energy Dispersive X-Ray… Show more
