Heavy Metal Accumulation in Soil and Subsequent Uptake by Amaranthus (amaranthus Cruentus (l.) Irrigated with Dye Industrial Effluent

This study assessed the impacts of untreated dye effluent collected from three dyeing sites on soil heavy metal accumulation, uptake by root and accumulation in amaranthus shoot. Dye effluents collected at discharge points on the sites were diluted with fresh water at 0 %, 25 %, 50 % and 100 % concentrations. Each dye effluent concentration was app...

Heavy Metals Accumulation in Soil and Amaranthus Cruentus L Irrigated with Dye Effluent Polluted Stream Water in Abeokuta, Southwest Nigeria

This study evaluated the quality of Amaranthus cruentus irrigated with dye effluent polluted stream and water from a deep hand-dug surface well (well-water). It also assessed the levels of heavy metals including Manganese, Iron, Copper, Zinc and Chromium in soil and amaranths irrigated with the waters in two dry seasons. The results showed that the...

Effect of Land Use and Soil Depth on Soil Phosphorus Fractions

The aims of the experiments were to determine the effect of land use and soil depths on soil phosphorus fractions. Soil samples were taken systematically from dug profile pits at 0-20, 20-40 and 40-60 cm. Soil samples were characterized and P fractionation analyses were done in triplicates using standard procedures. Data generated were analysed usi...

Effect of Land Use on the Distribution of Heavy Metals in Abeokuta, Southwestern Nigeria

To prevent risks of metal pollution and secure public health, the assessment of the pollutant load of different land use is germane in emerging cities. The study investigated the distribution of water, EDTA and HCl extractable Cd, Pb, Zn, Cu, Cr, Ni and Mn in soils of different land uses in Abeokuta, southwestern Nigeria. It was hypothesized that l...
