Focusing on environmental health, this research evaluates chromium and cadmium emissions from premium motor spirit and automotive gas oil across Nigeria over a decade. By analyzing fuel consumption and heavy metal content, it estimates annual emissions and assesses per capita and land exposure risks to humans, plants, and animals. The findings indicate significantly high poisoning risks compared to regulatory limits, advocating for stricter regulations on fuel heavy metal content to protect health and the environment. The implications extend to policy and future research globally.
