| dc.description.abstract | This studv evaluated contamination of groundwater with toxic metals in and around Oke diya dumpstle and Limestone quarry in. Sagamu Southwestern Nigeria. The pH values for rhe Gruu;1dwater 11·ere acrdic based on pH with a range of 3 3 to 6. 6 and a slight increase of the values along the groundwater ;7ow direction which is geaerally towards th ecastem pnu of -· the study area. Values of Total Dissolved Solids and Electrical Conductivrry were b~ Me en 57 to I 538mgll and 88 to 2366us/cm respectively which classify the water in the stud)· aren as}i-esh 10 slightly sali~:e. Hi'lher values were observed 111 the dumpsite area when compared with quarry slle The major and trace elements were determined using indttcti vely coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (fCP-OES) analytical method at Act/nbs in Canad::J. Water samples around Wll PCO and Oke diya dumpsite areas showed a relative abundance of Sr>Ra>Zn>Bi>Pb>Si>Cu>Co>Mn>U ~ and-> Zn>Sr> Ba> Y> Bi> Ce> Cu> W>; Pb> Ni>Si> Co> ,Hn> U respecti1-c ·,.for trace ··!emenrs. The concentrations of trace elements were within World Health Organisation (WHO) standard except . 1, Brt und ' ."• (or leachate sample only.
