Heavy Metal Contamination in the Soils Collected From Al-Muthanna Storage Site

This paper introduces the hazard contamination in the storage area site using geomatics analysis technique. The contamination level of four primary heavy metal concentrations (Cu, Zn, Pb and Cd) of soils evaluated, analyzed and compared to the background reference points. Results indicate that coppe...

Description
Summary:This paper introduces the hazard contamination in the storage area site using geomatics analysis technique. The contamination level of four primary heavy metal concentrations (Cu, Zn, Pb and Cd) of soils evaluated, analyzed and compared to the background reference points. Results indicate that copper level exceeds the permitted level by (1050) times, for zinc by (16000) times over the permitted level on the surrounding isolation protection on the north-west Wall, very high Contamination spot activity of lead was found in Destruction zone about (1350) times over the background level and there is no activity detected for the cadmium in the storage area site.
