A comparative study of the influence of heavy metals on soils and crops grown within quarry environment at Akamkpa, Cross River State was conducted in 2009 year. The study area was delineated into3 zones P1, P11, P111 based on the intensity of exposure to tailings, wind speed, wind direction and distance from the quarry. The selected sample distances were (0km, 1km and 3km as control). Soil sample with the depth of (0-15cm), cassava leaves and, fluted pumpkin leaves were collected separately from each of the sampling area and analyzed for chemical characteristics. The concentration of heavy metals Pb, Cr, Ni, Cd, Mn, Fe and Cu in the leaves samples of fluted pumpkin and cassava in sample position (P1) were (25.
