Abstract

Unguarded waste disposal with its concomitant environmental degradation has being a global concern in recent times. Cases of waste disposal from paint manufacturing outfits were not left out in his issue. Study on the assessment of the contaminated soil by waste from paint manufacturing activities has been carried out in a typical Niger delta soil. The study area was divided into four sampling sections, wherein five samples were randomly taken from each segment, making a total of twenty soil samples. The sampling sites were designated as SS2, SS3, SS4, and SS5 which represented; the main discharge point, former discharge point which was abandoned five years ago, main gate and spill points respectively the control site was also located, and five soil samples were randomly collected therein. Each sample was analyzed for Pb, Zn, Cu, Cr, Ni, Cd, Mn and As using standard methods.
