Heavy metals are naturally occurring elements, but elevated levels of these metals can lead to a range of health problems, including neurological damage, developmental problems, and reproductive issues. The aim of this study is to assess the presence of heavy metals in garden soil and plant lettuce (Lactuca sativa) in Jimeta, Yola State, Nigeria. The study was carried out using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS). The levels of As, Al, B, Cd, Cu, Cr, Fe, Mn, Pb, and Zn in soil and vegetable samples were recorded using AAS. The results of the study revealed that heavy metal concentrations recorded in the soil recorded an average of below detection thresholds, as such were within allowable range set by FAO and WHO. The findings of the analysis indicated that the lettuce can be consumed by humans in the respective region without risk. In addition, the study concluded by recommending the need for further studies on the impact of e-waste site location on heavy metal content of soil.
