Statement

The soil samples were collected and analysed by the Inorganic Chemistry Facility, University of Eldoret and Moi University during ODA-I (2015-2020) as part of a geochemistry and health project to investigate the spatial incidences of diseases in the Rift Valley. Following the compilation of the soil data BGS undertook random forest machine learning analysis in conjunction with additional open-access environmental covariate datasets to create the geochemical prediction maps.
