Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Comparative Assessment of Heavy Metal Pollution in Soil using pH Enrichment Factor and Pollution IndexMichael Nwachukwu, Okoro Uwaezu, Ogbuja I. Ogbuja, Leonard NwosuMany researchers have described pH as heavy metals pollution indicator in soil, but no effort has been made to determine level or quantity of heavy metals that could be indicated by pH. This study measured in-situ soil pH values at Nekede motor mechanic village against the natural background values. We used readings obtained to compute pH enrichment factor (pHeF) at … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 2 · 12 Apr 2017 · 7,974 accessesView PDFCite
