Quantitative evaluation of potentially toxic elements and associated risks in Acrisols and Ferralsols of western Ghana
This study investigates the natural distribution of potentially toxic elements in western Ghana as affected by soil types (i.e., Acrisols and Ferralsols). Geo-accumulation indices (Igeo), Enrichment Factor (EF), and risk index (RI) were computed to evaluate soil pollution classes, while the Soil Qua...
