Hitherto studies in response to the June 2010 lead poisoning, Zamfara State, Nigeria, have focused on clinical interventions without information on livestock and other metals.<jats:italic>Objective<\/jats:italic>. This study has investigated the distribution of heavy metals in farm produce and livestock around lead-contaminated goldmine in Dareta and Abare, Zamfara State, Nigeria.<jats:italic>Methods<\/jats:italic>. Vegetables, soil, water, blood, and different meat samples were harvested from goat, sheep, cattle, and chicken from Dareta, Abare, and Gusau communities. The samples were digested with 10\u2009mL of a mix of nitric and perchloric acids; the mixture was then heated to dryness. Lead, cadmium, zinc, chromium, copper, magnesium, and nickel were analysed using flame Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer. The daily intake, bioaccumulation factor, and target hazard quotient (THQ) were calculated.<jats:italic>Results<\/jats:italic>. Chicken bone-muscles from Dareta had the highest concentrations of lead, zinc, and nickel (28.2750, 16.1650, and 4.2700\u2009mg\/kg, resp.), while chicken brain had the highest levels of cadmium, magnesium (0.3800 and 67.5400\u2009mg\/kg), and chromium (6.1650\u2009mg\/kg, kidney tissue inclusive).<jats:italic>Conclusion<\/jats:italic>. In addition to lead, cadmium may also be of concern in the contaminated mining communities of Zamfara State, Nigeria, given the high levels of cadmium in meat and vegetables samples from these areas.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2017\/3506949","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,5,2]],"date-time":"2017-05-02T17:00:26Z","timestamp":1493744426000},"page":"1-12","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":60,"title":["Horizontal and Vertical Distribution of Heavy Metals in Farm Produce and Livestock around Lead-Contaminated Goldmine in Dareta and Abare, Zamfara State, Northern Nigeria"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2017","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5806-9858","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"O.
