Iron and zinc status in soils, water and staple food cultivars in Itakpe, Kogi State of Nigeria
The levels of iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn) were quantitatively determined in soil and water
samples as well as in staple food cultivars in Itakpe, Nigeria's major iron mining town. The
survey was conducted to establish a baseline pollution index for Fe and Zn in the Itakpe
environment and to evaluate the role of foods as an exogenous source of these metals
among the inhabitants. Exceedingly high levels of both metals characterized the staple food
cultivars in the town.

Abstract
The levels of iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn) were quantitatively determined in soil and water samples as well as in staple food cultivars in Itakpe, Nigeria's major iron mining town. The survey was conducted to establish a baseline pollution index for Fe and Zn in the Itakpe environment and to evaluate the role of foods as an exogenous source of these metals among the inhabitants. Exceedingly high levels of both metals characterized the staple food cultivars in the town.
