Health risk assessment of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in common food crops within and outside selected mining areas of Ebonyi State, Nigeria
Abstract The study reveals the level of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in three local food crops planted within six selected mining sites in the State, compared with those that were planted 500 m away from the mining areas. Gas Chromatography-Flame Ionization detection (GC-FID) model was us...
