The study employed the Agilent/MP-AES model MY17380004 to assay the concentrations of some selected heavy metals in a flooded rice farm in Hadejia LGA of Jigawa State, Nigeria. The aim is to gain insight into the dispersion of heavy metals in flooded farms as a consequence of climate change. The ratios of the concentrations of Zn, Cd, Fe, Cu, Ni, As, Pb, Mn, and Cr in the control area to that of the study area were found to be 3:7, 12:9, 3:4, 3:5, 3:4, 12:3, 6:7, 2:5 and 4:5 respectively. The results highlight the positive influence of flooding on the concentrations of all the elements except Cd and As, which demonstrated a reduction trend. Also, the concentrations of As in the study and control locations were found to be 17.75±7.12 higher than the maximum permissible limit in the soil as recommended by WHO, signifying that Arsenic content is high in Hadejia soil.
