Effects of Heavy Metals on Soil Enzymatic Activities in the Ishiagu Mining Area of Ebonyi State-Nigeria
Effects of heavy metal pollution on the enzymatic activities of soils were investigated in the Ishiagu mining area of Ebonyi State, Nigeria. Soil dehydrogenase, polyphenol oxidase, hydrogen peroxidase, alkaline and acid phosphatases and urease were measured to evaluate the effects of heavy metals mining operations on soil biochemical characteristics. Results showed that the soil pH ranged from ...

متن کاملEvaluation of background geochemical speciation of heavy metals in overburden topsoil of bituminous sand deposit area, Ondo state, Nigeria
Metals are ubiquitous within the earth crust. However, the exceptional high-level concentration of heavy metals in the soil due to natural or anthropogenic activities and the chemical forms in which they exist determine the level of risk they portend to the environment. This work was aimed at determining the background level of the presence of seven priority toxic metals (Cr, Ni, Pb, As, Cd, Cu...
