The results of the study revealed that Fe, Pb, and Cr present in the soil sample are in higher concentrations than Zn and Cd, that are in trace amount and were in the following order of abundance Fe > Pb> Cr> Zn> Cd (Table 3). Fe is present in concentration higher than other metals investigated because of geographical origin of the soil16. Pb was high due towide use of lead products in storage batteries and its an thropogenic sources being the combustion of leaded gasoline17. The higher Fe, Pb and Cr concentrations showed that there is heavy metals pollution at the sampling site where anthropogenic activities
such as battery charging, welding are heavier while the lower concentration of Zn and Cd showed that anthropogenic activities are lower and could be as a result of variety of iron salt17,18
