The present study aimed to assess the ecological and health risks of the Pouma rock samples. Twenty-three (23) trace element concentrations were evaluated. The concentrations of these trace elements were compared with those of quartzite from other countries and with global reported values. When compared with the world values, the concentrations of...

This study used the Energy Dispersive X-Ray Fluorescence (EDXRF) spectrometry to determine the elemental composition of nineteen rock samples from the Pouma sub-division of Cameroon. The major chemical elements found in these samples were compounds of SiO2, Al2O3, K2O, Fe2O3, CaO, and P2O5. The elemental characterization of the investigated samples...
