Abstract：
:Quarry activities are creating diverse stress on biological resources in the rural areas where most of them are located globally. In this study, the effect of quarry activities on elephant grass (Pennisetum purpureum) leaves and soils around Onigambari Forest Reserve, Oyo State, Nigeria, were investigated. Soil and samples of elephant grass (Pennisetum purpureum) leaves were collected from two different distances from the quarry plant. Samples used as control were collected within the boundary of Cocoa Research Institute of Nigeria (CRIN), Oyo State, Nigeria estate. Samples were analysed using proton-induced X-ray emission, to determine the elements. The physiochemical parameters were also analysed in both soil and leaves samples. The mean concentration of the elements in the soil sample from Site 1 was higher in Mg, Cl, Ca, Ti, Cr, Mn, Fe, Zn and Zr than Site 2 and the control site. While in leaves, similar trend was observed. Cd and Ag were highly enriched.
