Abstract |
|
Impact of monsoon season on the mobility of different heavy metals e.g. Pb, Cd, Cr, Ni and Zn in agricultural soil near the national highway of Allahabad, India, has been observed in pre and post monsoon season. Soil samples were collected during pre and post monsoon season at different depths 0-15cm & 15-30cm adjacent NH-2 were treated and digested by di- acid method. The toxic metals were analyzed on Perkin-Elmer Analyst 400 Atomic Absorption spectroscopy (AAS). This study aimed at understanding the mobility of toxic metals in soils during pre and post monsoon season. The contents of toxic metals in soil samples were 1.48-2.68 mgkg-1 and 1.36-2.50 mgkg-1 for Pb, 0.20-0.06 mgkg-1 and 0.15-0.07 mgkg-1 for Cd, 0.52-0.85 mgkg-1 and 0.44-0.77 mgkg-1 for Cr, 0.83-1.65 mgkg-1 and 0.72-1.33 mgkg-1 for Ni, 7.69-12.83 mgkg-1 and 7.32-12.20 mgkg-1 for Zn during pre and post monsoon season respectively all the metals. |
