  ABSTRACT: This study investigates potential heavy metal exposure in urban soils of the Tebrebie community in the Tarkwa-Nsuaem Municipality, Western Region of Ghana, by collecting ten composite soil samples, which were analyzed for selected toxic heavy metals (As, Pb, Cd and Hg) using flame atomic absorption spectrometry. The results were compared with Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment (CCME) Canadian Soil Quality Guidelines (CSQG) for the Protection of Environmental and Human Health, Residential/Parkland and a control sample. As concentrations ranged from
