Analysis reveals heavy metal pollution in water and sediment, suggesting health risks and the need for remediation in Odo Oba River.

Heavy metal contamination was assessed in water and sediment samples from Odo Oba River tributaries in Nigeria, indicating environmental and health risks.
Water samples reported iron levels at 8.06 mg/kg, exceeding Nigerian drinking water standards, while chromium was detected only in dry season samples.
Sediment analysis identified iron concentrations up to 20.00 mg/kg, surpassing WHO limits in rainy season samples at sites B and C.
Monitoring and remediation of heavy metal pollution in Odo Oba River are critical to protect human health and the environment.
