The Concentration of Some Heavy Elements of the Dust Falling on the Shattrah City North of the Nasiriyah City (Dhi Qar)
Keywords:
dust, the Shattrah city, heavy elements, pollution.Abstract
This study is to point out the concentration of the heavy elements such as (pb, cd, zn, cu) in the fallen dust over Shattr ah city, and to point out the pollution's sources according to the standard criteria and finally the affection of these element on the human health in the city , as well as the diseases are caused by these heavy elements . Seven samples are chosen from different place through dusty days to include modern residential places , ancient residential places , commercial places , and industrial places . The concentrations of the heavy elements are examined according to the data of these samples. The results confirm the increased ratio of heavy elements according to the standard criteria; the Pb increased to (214.35 ppm) the Cd concentrations is (10.57 ppm) and the Zn concentrations is (108.28 ppm) and Cu concentrations is (35 ppm). The main reason behind the increased ratio of the concentration is the human activities of the large population , the stormy wind, the toxic gases of cars' exhaustions , the dust of the movement of the cars ,the toxic gases of brick platforms and by the electricity platforms.References
