The quest for food safety is very high in this era of environmental pollution. Incubation of the soil- metals was done in the laboratory for eight weeks to determine the effects of cadmium, copper and lead on some physical and chemical properties of soils sampled from six different cultivated land use in Abeokuta, Southwestern Nigeria in 2010 and 2011. The pH decreased from 7.01 to 6.65. The Effective Cation Exchange Capacities decreased from 5.97 to 4.26 C mol kg-1 under single treatments for the six locations. Single metal reatments produced additive, synergistic and antagonistic responses on the residual metals on incubated soils
