Spatial Ecological and Health Risk Assessment of Heavy Metal Contamination in Surface Soils From Lagos Lagoon Wetlands, Nigeria

2020-12-04

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Wetlands quality and spatial distribution are being threatened by anthropogenic drivers in addition to the emerging threats of climate change. In this study, selected heavy metals (Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn) in soils from Lagos lagoon wetlands were investigated to assess spatial distribution, ecological and health risks. The data obtained were subjected to statistical analysis using Gra...
