Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometric Determination of' Trace, Metal Concentrations in Raw and Finished Drinking Water from Lower Usuma Dam in The F.C.T.

ABSTRACT

The concentrations of Fe, Zn, Cu, Pb and Cd in vegetables grown in Kaduna metropolis were determined. The nitric acid -per chloric acid mixture was used in the digestion procedure and a precision of 4.2%, 3.8%, 2.4%, 5.3%, and 5.7% was obtained for Fe, Zn, Cu, Pb and Cu respectively. Good recoveries between 88-96% were obtained for the metals studied. The concentrations of metals in the vegetables varied from 40-1 OOµg/g for Fe, 21.3-51.3µg/g Zn, 9.0-28. Oµg/g Cu, 0.7-2.6µg/g Pb and 0.3-1.lµg/gCd. These metals were within permissible levels in vegetables.
