The recent increase in cases of cancer, diarrhea, and food poisoning in the study area has called for an urgent need to assess possible anthropogenic causes. Ecosystem pollution from nearby major anthropogenic activities could be suspected since heavy metal pollution index in the soil of automobile repair service point is expected to be high due to the use of metal-containing components and tools. Five major automobile repair workshops in Oye-Ekiti were assessed to determine the concentration of heavy metals (Fe, Cr, Pb, Cd, and Cu) in the soil using Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS). The results reveal varying contamination levels, particularly for Cd, Cu, and Cr. Cd concentrations are higher in subsurface soils compared to topsoil, posing potential health and environmental risks to underground water resources. Cu concentrations generally increase from topsoil to subsurface soil, with the highest levels in the S.J. workshop. Cr concentrations are also higher in subsurface soils, suggesting a common source or environmental behavior. Fe concentrations are generally higher across all workshops at a range of 32.78. mg/Kg to 92.77 mg/Kg and more pronounced in subsurface soils, suggesting natural abundance in the soil. Pb levels are less consistent, suggesting localized factors or specific practices might be responsible for contamination. Results revealed toxicity concentration levels for the heavy metals in both the surface and subsurface, indicating significant contamination in the workshops environment and a potential risk to human health and the ecosystem. Remediation may be necessary in TOP S.J. and SUB S.R. where the contamination is most severe.
