Abstract

Metal pollutants constitute one of the major pollution risks in Côte d'Ivoire and in particular in the town of Duekoué. This pollution is problematic due to the non-biodegradability and the accumulation of Trace Metal Elements (TME) in the environment. Thus, the health risk assessment aims to preserve the health of populations in their consumption habits. Indeed, any study aimed at controlling and then monitoring the quality of drinking water and the environment is beneficial. In Duekoué, market garden products grown in the lowlands are consumed without prior treatment which could cause metal poisoning of the population. The objective of this work was to study the behavior of metallic trace elements in the vegetable gardens of the town of Duekoué. To achieve the objective of this work four samples were taken from the four sites at depths of (0 to 15 cm). These samples were analyzed in the laboratory by an atomic absorption spectrometer (AAS). For this purpose, the determination of the concentrations of metallic trace element, pH and the percentage of organic matter of the various samples was carried out. Also our study allowed us to show that soils 1 and 3 are basic while soils 2 and 4 are acidic. In addition, we noticed a richness in organic matter in site 1 with a percentage of 15. 57. In addition, the analysis of the sediments showed that there are correlations between metallic trace elements and factors modifying the mobility of TME and a correlation between TME. In addition, analysis of the samples taken revealed the presence of TMEs including mercury, lead, magnesium and cadmium in the clay fraction of the sediments. Arsenic and chromium are linked to the organic fraction of sediments. From this study, it emerges that the behavior of TME in lowlands is influenced by certain physicochemical parameters such as the pH and the percentage of organic matter in the soil.
