“…Pollution index is a numerical grading system used to quantify the level of pollution in a given location, based on parameters such as air and water quality, the concentration of harmful chemicals, gases, or particulates, and the amount of waste generated (Mensah et al., 2021). Several investigations have found that the index ranges from 0 to 500 or higher, with higher levels suggesting higher pollution levels (Jena et al., 2019; Mensah et al., 2021). In general, pollution indices are commonly employed by governments and environmental agencies to monitor pollution levels and implement appropriate measures to mitigate it.…”

Anthropogenic activities that cause heavy metal contamination of agricultural soils pose a significant health risk to humans who consume contaminated agricultural foods such as rice and vegetables. The purpose of this study was to access the level of heavy metal contamination in agricultural soils in Kafin Hausa by analyzing soil samples from five different sampling sites for heavy metals including aluminum (Al), titanium (Ti), vanadium (V), manganese (Mn), chromium (Cr), iron (Fe), cobalt (Co), and zinc (Zn). A total of 15 soil samples were collected using a soil auger from various locations within Kafin Hausa area, and the concentrations of the collected soil samples were estimated using the Instrumental Neutron Activation Analysis (INAA) technique via the Nigeria Research Reactor‐1. The results of the study showed that the mean concentrations of these heavy metals in the sampled soils were within the limits set by the World Health Organization. In addition, pollution indexes such as enrichment factor (EF), contamination factor (CF), and geo‐accumulation index (Igeo) were adequately determined. The sampling sites were identified to have significant enrichment, except for BR3 which was moderately enriched with Al and Ti, followed by Fe, and had an EF value of 4.87. Mean Igeo values indicated that all the sampling sites were uncontaminated. Furthermore, multivariate statistics revealed a strong positive correlation (p < 0.01) and (p < 0.05) among the investigated metals, suggesting that the major sources of those metals are similar.

In this work, the main goal was to examine the REE concentration and distribution pattern in soil from Umuahia, Abia State, Southeast, Nigeria, in a clay mining site compared with a non-contaminated site approximately 3 km away. The REE were determined by Instrumental Neutron Activation Analysis (INAA) at IPEN, Brazil. The main mineralogy of the samples was determined by XRD. The following REE were determined: Ce, Eu, La, Lu, Nd, Sm, Tb and Yb. Soil samples from the mining area present quartz and kaolinite as their main constituents, with REE concentrations comparable with that of the Upper Continental Crust and the North American Shale Composite. The calculated Geoaccumulation index (IGeo) indicate that REE have natural origin and ∑LREEN/∑HREEN ratio show an enrichment of the light over heavy REE, in samples of the clay mining area.

“…where 𝐶𝐶 𝑟𝑟 is the measured concentration of metal and 𝐵𝐵 𝑟𝑟 is the geochemical background concentration of the corresponding metal of the average continental shale. In this study, the average values of soil samples of the study regions are taken as a reference point and considered as 𝐵𝐵 𝑟𝑟 values (Jena et al 2019). A factor of 1.5 is used to include a possible variation of background values due to lithogenic effects and an index of enrichment (Muller 1979).…”

Irrigation water is an important factor in proper crop production. Thus irrigation water plays a vital role in food safety and security. This study, therefore, focuses on the estimation of the concentration of four heavy metals in irrigation water along with their pollution assessments. The concentration of heavy metals found in this study followed the order of Mn (0.0913-0.3701 mg/L) > Pb (0.0211-0.2104 mg/L) > Cd (0.0004-0.0222 mg/L) > Cr (0.00105-0.00937 mg/L). In a few cases, the concentrations of heavy metals exceed the permissible limit for irrigation water recommended by the Food and Agricultural Organization. Pollution assessments were carried out using the enrichment factor, geoaccumulation index, contamination factor, and modified degree of contamination. This study revealed that the enrichment factor for lead and chromium showed no enrichment, whereas cadmium showed minor to moderate enrichment, and manganese was used as a reference element. The geoaccumulation index and contamination factor demonstrate that lead and chromium were uncontaminated, but manganese and cadmium denote moderate contamination. The modified degree of contamination indicated nil to the lower degree of contamination for all samples. Proper steps by the government and different organizations should be taken to identify the reasons for their sources, and appropriate techniques should be implemented to reduce their concentrations.
