ABSTRACT: This study evaluates heavy metal pollution in soils from the Daniela oil sites located in the Kouno sub-prefecture, Loug-Chari Department. The primary objective is to determine the extent of heavy metal contamination in the Daniela area. At the Raphia site, the metal concentration order is Cu > Mn > Fe > Cd > Pb, while at the Lanéa 1 and Lanéa 2 sites, it is Cu > Fe > Mn > Cd > Pb. Contamination factors (CF) for Mn, Fe, and Pb are very low (
