| Abstract | ||
| The study included evaluating soil pollution with some heavy elements and statistically analyzing it in the road linking Sinjar, Mosul and the road linking Mosul, Dohuk, industrial and residential areas within Nineveh Governorate in the season autumn of 2024. Different sites were selected from the two roads with 8 samples at a depth of (0-15) cm for the surface soil. The research included measuring the physical and chemical properties controlling the distribution of heavy elements in the soil and comparing them with global determinants, and observing the impact of industrial and human pollution sources that are thrown into the soil without treatment, which negatively affect the properties of the soil and its various uses. Physical examinations of the soil texture showed that it ranges between mixed, mixed sand, mixed sandy clay). The results of the chemical examinations showed that the acidity function of the soil was neutral to alkaline, as its rates varied between (7.5-7.9), and its highest value was in sample No. 2 on the road linking Mosul, Sinjar. The rates of electrical conductivity values of the soil ranged between (1.8-17.7) microsiemens / cm, in addition to the rates of organic matter values, which were between (3.13-5.2). The results of soil sample analysis showed that all industrial areas were polluted with zinc, as the average concentration of the element was (9.489) parts per million, and sample No.1 was the most polluted area with the element. As for the chromium element, the concentration rates ranged between (0.104-0.657). | ||
