The heavy metal constituents of some vegetables and soils sample from a farm close to e-waste and non-e-waste dumpsite were evaluated. The farms were within Yenagoa local government area (the state capital) Bayelsa State Nigeria. The vegetables examined were Scent leaf, Pumpkin leaf, Okro, and Maize. The plants and soil samples were collected from the farm in August 2019 during the peak of the rainfall. The plant samples were washed with tap water and rinsed with distilled water and then cut into smaller pieces with a kitchen knife.
