Determination of Some Heavy Metals and Physicochemical Properties in Samples of Tube-Well Water in Evwreni Town, Delta State
Authors(2) :-B. T. Sawere, K. Emumejaye Ten samples of tube-well water were collected at random from Evwreni town, Delta State and were analyzed for heavy metals and physicochemical properties using atomic absorption spectrometer and standard methods respectively. The pH values were between 6.0 and 6.6, within the WHO maximum acceptable concentration. The conductivity values were between 66 to 99µs/cm, TDS value ranged from 60 to 85.5. The lead (Pb) ranged from 0.001 to 0.006mg/l, Copper (Cu) 0.2 to 0.9mg/l, iron (Fe) 0.3 to 0.7mg/l, Zinc (Zn) 0.1 to 0.3mg/l, Chromium (Cr) 0.1 to 0.5mg/l. All the values were below WHO maximum acceptable concentration.
