摘要：Concentration of some metals (Cd, Cu, Fe, Pb and Zn) was measured in Eudrilus eugenia and used to indicate soil pollution resulting from dumpsites located in two cities of northern Nigeria. The result of the current experiment showed that samples from the uncontaminated and dump sites showed in most cases levels of metal to be lower in earthworm than in soil samples. The ratios of the level of metals in earthworm to soil obtained for this work were in all cases less than unity. The metal concentration in both soil and earthworm followed the trend Cu>Fe>Zn>Pb>Cd Dump sites located closest to the highways showed high Pb concentrations.
