Abstract
The increase in population and urbanization has resulted in an increase in municipal waste. Waste dumped indiscriminately in the environment has potential environmental impact and risks. This study assessed three dumpsites in Delta State to evaluate heavy metal contamination, associated risks, and soil properties. Soil samples from dumpsites in London Opi, Ugborikoko, and Agbarho were collected at depths of 0-15cm and 15-30cm, along with a control sample following standard methods and procedures. The results revealed the soil particle ranged from loamy to sandy loamy in the study locations. pH for the topsoil were subsoil was 7.74 and 7.21 (Agbarho), 7.57 and 7.43 (Uvwie), 7.38 and 7.24 (London OPI); Lead for the topsoil and subsoil was 5.46 and 7.21 mg/kg (Agbarho), 5.25 and 8.18 mg/kg (Uvwie), 2.29 and 3.79 mg/kg (London OPI); Chromium for the topsoil and subsoil was 43.72 and 29.63 mg/kg (Agbarho), 113.53 and 87.49 mg/kg (Uvwie), 17.61 and 11.45 mg/kg (London OPI.Principal Component Analysis (PCA) revealed four principal components that explained 96.95% of the total variance in the data. PCA results indicated pollution may be attributed to organic waste, agricultural waste, and domestic waste such as metal scraps and plastics. Regular monitoring and proper waste recycling practices are necessary to prevent metal accumulation over time.
