Assessment of heavy metals pollution in sediment at the Omaruru River basin in Erongo region, Namibia

Assessment of heavy metals pollution in sediment at the Omaruru River basin in Erongo region, Namibia

This study determined the contamination levels of some heavy metals: Mn, Cr, Cu, Ni, Fe, As, and Al obtained from the delta basin of Omaruru River, using Inductively Coupled Plasma-Optical Emission Spectrophotometer (Optima 8000, Perkin Elmer). Chemical analysis showed that the sediments samples hav...
