Abstract

The quality of soil is influenced by natural activities: geological formations of an area and volume of water (rain), as well as anthropogenic events such as land use patterns. The patterns correlate with the trace metals load in an area. This study, thus, seeks to evaluate of the potentially toxic metals loads in both top and sub soils based on land use in the municipality of Lagos, using pollution indices. Six (6) composite samples collected from top and subsoils in five different land use areas: Industrial (Ikeja and Ilupeju), Coastal (Iyagbe and Badagry), Residential (Surulere and Yaba), Landfill (Abule Egba and Igando) and Agricultural areas (Fi, Niger and LASU road), were analyzed for trace metals employing standard method. Data obtained were subjected to pollution indices namely; Contamination Factor (CF) Enrichment Factor (EF), Geo Accumulation index (Igeo) and Pollution Load Index (PLI). The EF results showed minimal enrichment by iron (1.0) and lead (0.39), significant enrichment with zinc (8.9), and extremely high enrichment in respect of cadmium (95.5) and copper (524.3). The order of metals Cd > Cu > Fe > Zn > Pb is as revealed by Igeo while the order of PLI value of each area show the impact of land use; industrial (6.61) > landfill (6.40) > Residential (4.43) > Agricultural (3.30) > Coastal (2.67), indicating varying levels of deterioration of soils through anthropogenic sourced pollution. Measures must be implemented by the relevant agencies, to regularly monitor build-ups of metals and environmentally enlighten, ensuring sustainable environment in line with goal eleven (Sustainable cities and Communities) of Sustainable Development Goals.
