Assessment of significant metals in effluents, soil, and pond water of tanneries south of capital of Sudan state

In the present study, impact of tannery effluents and their subsequent on accumulation some metals (Ca, K, Na, Mg, Cl, S, Cr, Fe, Mn, Pb, Zn) in water soil samples around South Khartoum industrial area, Khartoum-Sudan were studied. Concentration (SA), adjacent contaminated pond (SB), Soil (SC), uncontaminated (SD) assessed by atomic absorption photometer. The results showed high levels Ca, Zn within from all sampling point (SA, SB SC). investigation exhibited that tanneries wastewater has mean concentrations Pb effluent, water, soil, except which is only (SC). significant displayed a pattern concentration as follow: > Effluent >contaminated Un water. Significant toxicity totally different points compared with WHO. Mean metal un among allowable limit set WHO for Magnesium (Mg). comparison indicated (SC) neighboring area accumulated metals, enhanced toxic such Ni, also demonstrated higher samples. increased poisonous, additionally incontestable
