Distribution of different fractions of Iron, Zinc, Chromium, lead and Nickel in Soils around Petrol filling stations in selected Areas of Delta State, Nigeria

Distribution of different fractions of Iron, Zinc, Chromium, lead and Nickel in Soils around Petrol filling stations in selected Areas of Delta State, Nigeria

The geochemical forms of some heavy metals in soils around selected petrol filling stations were studied in order to assess the mobility and bioavailability of the metals and hence their potential environmental risk. Water soluble fraction (F1) contained an average of 0.97% iron, 1.40% zinc, 2.37%...
