Soils around painted buildings in Gboko and katsina-Ala (Benue state) and Ibi and Wukari (Taraba State) were collected and analysed for heavy metal contamination using standard methods. The study revealed that the level of contamination in Gboko and Katsina-Ala was in the order of Pb>Zn>Cd>Cr while for Ibi and Wukari the order was Pb>Cd>Zn>Cr. The levels of contamination of Mn, Ni and Cu in the soil samples around the painted buildings were low. The high contamination of the soil with lead is a serious threat to man especially the children who play with soils around the environment. Blood monitoring for lead and other metals is therefore recommended for individuals living in and around painted buildings.
