An investigation of the distribution, fractionation and bioaccessibility of potentially toxic elements in urban soils of Lagos, Nigeria

2016-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Lagos is one of the fastest-developing metropolises in the world, with a population of 21 million, increasing by 2.8 % annually. The impact of this rapid development and industrialisation on levels of potentially toxic elements (PTE) in the city’s soils is of concern, and requires investigation, because of possible effects on human health. Soil samples were collected from different land-use types and socioeconomic...
