Assessment Of Levels Of Heavy Metals In Water And Colloid Samples From River Oyun

Heavy metals have been a defining parameter concerning water quality. They have constituted a major degree in pollutants levels in the environment. The study was designed to investigate the comparative levels of heavy metals in colloidal and water samples in relation to the activities on the River Oyun and the activities around the sampling location. The samples were analyzed for six metals using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry. The results obtained showed that the concentrations of Lead and Cadmium gave 0.00mg/L, Manganese ranged 0.23-7.56mg/L, Iron (0.50-5.54mg/L), Copper (0.00-0.06mg/L)…
