Trace elements in water, soil, earthworm and fishes from Otokutu end of Warri River, Delta State, Nigeria.

Selected environmental samples such as water, fishes (Tilapia mariae and Clarias gariepinus), earthworm (Libyodrillus violaceous) and soils were obtained from the Otokutu end of Warri River, digested with acid mixtures and analyzed for trace metal concentrations using the atomic absorption spectrophotometry. The trace metals measured include; zinc, lead, copper, arsenic, iron, cadmium and mercury. The results obtained showed variations in the concentrations of metals in the entire samples analyzed.
