Lawal (2011) discussed sand mining in Nigeria and highlighted that the activity is rapidly becoming an ecological problem as demand for gravel and sand increases.
Ako et al. (2014) conducted a qualitative study assessing the impact of sand and gravel mining in Luku, North central Nigeria. They found concentrations of heavy metals such as lead, nickel, arsenic, cadmium, silver, copper and mercury in soil samples taken from mined locations that were (too) high.
