Download Abstract This study looked into the potential hazards of heavy metals to residents near the Sagamu cement factory. Three means of absorption, which are: Inhalation, dermal, and ingestion absorption pathways of heavy metals into the human system were examined with the aid of a risk assessment model. FTIR and AAS of the sample reveal the composition of soil minerals and the level of heavy metals in the soil samples, respectively. Non-carcinogenic hazard quotient (HQ) results for dermal and oral ingestion for the Cd, Cr and Pb are less than a unit, which implies that there is no obvious risk ...
