People spend increasing amounts of time at home, yet the indoor home environment remains understudied in terms potential exposure to toxic trace metals. We evaluated metal (and metalloid) concentrations (As, Cu, Cr, Mn, Ni, Pb, and Zn) health risks dust from homes 35 countries, along with a suite potentially contributory residential characteristics. The objective was determine source inputs conditions associated risk across range international communities. For all enrichments compared global...
Rapid urbanization can lead to significant environmental contamination with potentially toxic elements (PTEs). This is of concern because PTEs are accumulative, persistent, and have detrimental effects on human health. Urban soil samples were obtained from parks, ornamental gardens, roadsides, railway terminals locations close industrial estates dumpsites within the Lagos metropolis. Chromium, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb Zn concentrations determined using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry...
PTEs measured in Lagos indoor dusts were higher than those reported from other Nigerian cities, and suggest PTE build up recent years. However, the calculated risks factors within acceptable limits for both children adults.
Soil samples were collected in February 2014 from 25 school playgrounds Lagos, Nigeria to assess the potential adverse effects of exposure children potentially toxic element (PTE). In each playgrounds, about 500 g bulked soil collected, dried, sieved, acid digested, and analyzed by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP‐MS). Results showed that soils studied characteristically unpolluted as average PTE concentration at site did not exceed guideline values. Considering pollution...
Among soil contaminants, potentially toxic elements (PTE) are of major significance because they ubiquitous, and persistent. Chronic exposure humans to these has been linked with developmental delay, cancer, atherosclerosis kidney damage, stomach ailments, respiratory problems, heart disease cancer.The present study aims investigate current PTE concentrations in urban soils Lagos, an example a rapidly urbanizing megacity developing country. The variation (chromium (Cr), copper (Cu), iron...
Background: Undoubtedly the biggest single cause of pollution, automobile emissions have a variety negative occupational and human health impacts. Chemicals, paints, primers, other hazardous products are frequently used in auto workshops' operational procedures. Substances like petrol, diesel, solvents, lubricants, grease can be unintentionally or purposely release/exposed to terrestrial environment. Numerous rock oil consist organic compounds that capable causing significant risk soil,...
Rapid developments in industrialisation and urbanisation have resulted serious environmental pollution. It is therefore imperative to evaluate contamination levels, sources, ecological human health risks of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) soils. This work examined the degree PTE pollution soils collected from Ikorodu Industrial Layout Lagos, Nigeria. Concentrations PTEs were determined by digesting soil samples with aqua regia analysing them using an atomic absorption spectrophotometer...
Environmental pollution caused by potentially toxic elements (PTE) from various anthropogenic sources has become a global concern. An estimated 7 million premature deaths occur globally each year owing to ambient and indoor air pollution. This study assessed the concentration of PTE, level contamination human health risks dust samples collected classrooms in Abeokuta, South-Western Nigeria. Samples were windowsills, chair, tables, corners classrooms. Digestions performed at College Resource...
