Oil production in Ecuador, for over 40 years, generates waste containing not only polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) but also co-emitted metals, known for their carcinogenic and toxic effects in humans.This study aims to determine the distribution of metals in the environmental comparments (air, soil and crops) on extraction (Amazon) and refining sites (Esmeraldas, Pacific coast) in Ecuador, to better understand their transfer in the environment and their bioaccumulation into plants (especially cocoa trees). The impact of anthropogenic activities on human health is also assessed through ingestion, inhalation and dermal contact.Although some metals are closely related to oil activities, others may come from other anthropogenic or natura...
