This study analyzed chromium and copper concentrations in soil samples collected from four automobile workshops in Kaduna, Nigeria. A modified Tessier sequential extraction procedure was used to determine metal distribution among different geochemical fractions. Results showed chromium and copper concentrations varied between workshops, likely due to differences in fossil fuel burning and other activities. Chromium levels were lowest and followed the trend: nitric acid > magnesium chloride > EDTA > oxalic acid. Copper was highest in oxide fractions and followed the trend: oxalic acid > magnesium chloride > nitric acid: hydrogen peroxide. The study concludes metals were distributed among residual, oxide, exchangeable and carbonate fractions, with some areas showing higher levels indicating possible soil pollution from workshop activities.
