Measurement of heavy metals concentration level in soil of Al – Majd district
Abstract
The research has deduced which is the level of concentration of the heavy metals in Al-Majed district, and those elements are Chromium Cr, cadmium Cd, lead Pb, copper Cu, mercury Hg, and iron Fe. All of them were sampled from 6 locations at a depth of (0-30) and (31-60) , with a total of (144 measurements) , ( 72 measurements) winters and summers. Indeed, research has shown that there is an extremely variable measurement of heavy metals at the spatial and temporal levels. As the concentration of these elements continues to rise in the summer. At the spatial level, based on the S1 site which showed that the concentration of all elements except mercury which increased in S5. In addition, iron has outperformed all other elements with an overall concentration of (4.1 Ppm) . The lowest concentration was cadmium, which was approximately (0.073 Ppm) . the heavy metals did not exceed health limits, which means that the proportion of soil will be unstable. Hence, an increase in human activity will generate a cumulative increase in the proportion of these elements. Therefore, it is necessary that monitoring and examination have taken of their roles in improving this.
