Heavy Metal Concentrations in Road Side Soils from Selected Locations in the Lagos Metropolis

Heavy Metal Concentrations in Road Side Soils from Selected Locations in the Lagos Metropolis

~ 0849fd2e98fa3f2e9f5eebd005cb62b9.200x200
Assessing the concentration of potentially harmful heavy metals in road side soils in Lagos metropolis is imperative in order to evaluate the potential risks to people and the environment. This is due to rapid increase in the use of vehicles for day to day transportation coupled with lack of emission standards which has raised serious concern about vehicular pollution. This paper reports the...
