      abstract = {The study investigated Assessment of heavy metals; lead (pb), cadmium (cd) and mercury (hg) concentration/load in Amaenyi Dumpsite Awka. The sample was collected and analysed digested and analysed in the laboratory. The Analysis of the samples shows that the samples contain  heavy metals such as cadmium, mercury, and lead and  high in concentration. This concentration of the heavy metal is higher than W.H.O approved limited of heavy metal in soil samples.  Therefore, the study recommended that Designated places should be used as dumpsites and indiscriminate marking of dumpsites  be discouraged. Dumpsites should be treated before use especially for cultivation and  people living around these dumpsites should stop farming on or around them as well as designated places should be used as dumpsites.},
