Evaluation of Heavy Metals in Stream Sediments from Abakaliki Pb – Zn Ore Mining Areas of Ebonyi State, Nigeria

This research is an assessment of toxic metals in stream sediments from the Abakaliki Pb-Zn mine area of Ebonyi state. Heavy metals in stream sediment samples were analysed using Atomic Absorption Spectrometer (AAS). Physicochemical parameters were determined show that pH is generally low (3.65) re...
