In this study, the physicochemical parameters, anions, exchangeable cations, tracemetals concentrations and selected soil enzymes activities of Njoku solid waste dumpsite Owerri municipal, Nigeria were investigated. Soil temperature (28.8 ± 0.04 – 33.9±0.01oC), pH of the heavily polluted points (7.3 ± 0.01 – 7.4±0.03) moisture content (26.74±0.10) were significantly higher (P< 0.05) compared to control soil samples. Similarly dumpsite soil nitrate level, percentage organic carbon, organic matter, sulphate and phosphate ions were significantly (P0.05), acid phosphatase, dehydrogenase, lipase, hydrogen peroxidase and urease enzymes activities were enhanced (p |
