“…The input parameters that have the greatest effect on the health risk assessment of soil PAHs were determined by sensitivity analysis (Wu et al, 2011;Nikolaidis et al, 2013). Sensitivity analysis was conducted by calculating the rank correlation coefficients between the input parameters and the output values, and then normalize the squaring of output variance to 100%.…”

“…Risk assessment has emerged in recent Journal of Agricultural Chemistry and Environment years as a powerful tool in the analysis of environmental and/or occupational hazards [17] [18]. This discipline is becoming increasingly important in modern toxicological and epidemiological practice, both in terms of hazard evaluation as well as at the level of efficient disease control and prevention [19] [20] [21]. Environmental analysis has largely contributed in this direction by careful monitoring of contaminant distribution over space and time [22] [23].…”

There is an increasing global concern for adverse effects of inorganic fertilizer and pesticides applied to agricultural soils. This study investigated metal speciation in soil and health risk assessment of Jute mallow (Corchorus olitoriuos) from a farm settlement in Ikorodu, Lagos State. Soil samples were collected according to the set standard procedure, sequentially extracted and analyzed for selected heavy metals using standard methods. Results showed that chromium (Cr) was associated with reducible fraction (Fe-Mn) for top soil, while cadmium (Cd), manganese (Mn), and copper (Cu); lead (Pb) and nickel (Ni); and Cr were predominantly bound to carbonate, reducible and residual mineral components respectively for sub-soil. The results of Contamination Factor (CF), Contamination Degree (CD), Pollution Load Index (PLI) and Geoaccumulation Index (I geo ) showed that the soil samples were not polluted for all the investigated metals. The Cd level in the soil (13.54 ± 1.21 mg•kg −1 ) and vegetables (0.83 ± 0.05 mg•kg −1 ) were above the USEPA critical permissible limit of 3.0 mg•kg −1 and 0.1 -1.2 mg•kg −1 respectively. The daily intake of estimated selected heavy metals from the vegetable ranged from 8.8 × 10 −03 to 1.4 × 10 −02 for adult and 3.8 × 10 −03 to 1.1 × 10 −02 for children while the Hazard Quotient (HQ) for adults ranged from 5.4 × 10 −05 to 1.1 × 10 −01 and that of children ranged from 8.3 × 10 −03 to 1.4 × 10 −02 . The cancer risk (CR) values of heavy metals in the soil ranged from 1.02 × 10 −11 to 9.90 × 10 −10 and 4.45 × 10 −09 to 8.61 × 10 −09 for children and adults respectively. The level of cancer risk was below the threshold values (10 −4 -10 −6 ) which USEPA considered as unacceptable risk.
