Abstract
The impact of potentially toxic metals (PTM) on humans and other organisms depends on their concentration, toxicity and bioavailability, which in turn, depend in part on reactivity and solubility. The total concentrations of PTM do not determine the mobility, bioavailability and uptake by plants but the fraction of these metals in soils or sediments, hence the development of sequential extraction method which has been widely used for speciation or fractionation studies. The limitations and problems of long extraction time associated with BCR (Community Bureau of Reference) method of extraction has led to the development of a faster and rapid Ultrasonic Assisted method of extraction. The species of the metals in soils was determined using both the conventional BCR and ultrasonic assisted methods of extraction, and quantification was done with Flame Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (FAAS). Though it was observed that the results obtained in the ultrasonic assisted method of extraction were slightly higher than those obtained in the BCR method of extraction, statistically (p
