Abstract
: Heavy metal, chlorophyll, vitamin and proximate composition of selected vegetables in Ishiagu, Ebonyi State Nigeria as influenced by quarry effluent discharge were screened. Fresh samples of vegetables were collected from farms around Ishiagu quarry sites. Heavy metals were analyzed using Atomic Absorption Spectrophometer (ASS) while standard analytical methods were used to analyze other parameters. Results showed that lead concentration ranged from 0.0020±ooo a -0.019±0.00 a in the test samples while the other heavy metals also showed significant increase in all the plants when compared to control p<0.05.Result also showed a significant decrease in chloropylla, chloropyllb and Total chlorophyll of the test samples analysed when compared to control.
