Variations in heavy metals concentration in soil, sewage water and three different growth stages of Brassica campestris (L.) irrigated with sewage water of sargodha

The present study was carried out in order to compare the heavy metal concentrations in soil, sewage water and three different growth stages of Brassica campestris (L.) irrigated with sewage water of Sargodha city. Field surveys were carried out. Three experimental sites were selected in Sargodha area during this survey. Water, soil and vegetable samples were collected from these sites. The collected samples were analyzed for Copper (Cu⁺²) Chromium (Cr⁺²), Lead (Pb⁺²), Cadmium (Cd⁺²), Nickel (Ni⁺²), Zinc (Zn⁺²), Cobalt (Co⁺²), Arsenic (As⁺²), Manganese (Mn⁺²), Iron (Fe⁺²), Magnesium (Mg⁺²) and Molybdenum(Mo). The surveyed data showed significant variations in heavy metals concentrations of different water, soil and vegetable samples at different growth stages.
