Heavy metal burdens of public primary school children related to playground soils and classroom dusts in Ibadan North-West local government area, Nigeria

Highlights • Soil-human body heavy metal inter-relationship is rarely studied in developing economies like Nigeria. • This relationship was studied in children in urban and semi-rural settings in Nigeria. • A weak but significant soil-blood Pb relationship was found. • Soil Pb and other bioaccessibl...

Description
Summary:Highlights • Soil-human body heavy metal inter-relationship is rarely studied in developing economies like Nigeria. • This relationship was studied in children in urban and semi-rural settings in Nigeria. • A weak but significant soil-blood Pb relationship was found. • Soil Pb and other bioaccessible sources of Pb might be predictors of blood Pb in children (in Nigeria).
