Trace Heavy 'Metals In Fish And Sediments Or Some Rivers Around Industrial Areas Of The Kaduna River Basin

ABSTRACT The level of Cd, Co, Cu, Mn, Ni, Pb and Zn in fish and sediments of Rivers within the Kaduna South Jndustrial Zone were determined by flam e atomic absorption spectrophotometry. The HN03 - I-1202 digestion.... s ystem was used to digest the fish sample far trace m etals det ermination. Tire HN03 - H202 digestion method gave good recoveries which vCiries within 80-95 % for Cd, 85-97% for Co, 81-99% for Cu, 79-97% for Mn, 81-93% for Ni, 87- 98% for Pb Clnd 77 - 98% for Zn in a fish smn...
