The study examines some of the operation of the oil industries and their effects on soils of surrounding farm land of Ubeji and Ekpan both in Warri South Local Government Area of Delta State of Nigeria. Soil samples were collected at four different points in the study area; two from soil which have had spillage and two from soil without spillage. The soil samples were tested for the presence and concentration of selected heavy metals. Relevant information for the study was also sought through questionnaires from workers of the oil industry in relation to the polluting potentials of the industrial activities. The results obtained for soils with oil spillage were compared with those without any such occurrence. It was revealed that variations...
