    Abstract: Heavy metal contamination in soils poses serious threats to environmental and human health due to metal persistence and toxicity. In Senegal, particularly in the Niakhene region, soil pollution may result from agricultural practices, atmospheric deposition, and past land use. This study aims to determine the concentrations of heavy metals: Nickel (... Show More
