| Abstract | ||
| Soil samples were collected from different areas, in Mosul city, which represent the most crowded areas by Automobiles and nearby which use Generators. Results showed that all studied soils were polluted by lead element, and its total concentration was in the range of 220 – 291 mg/g. The high concentration of lead was found in the areas crowded with Automobiles. It is showed that Automobiles exhausts were the main source of lead pollution as well as Generators exhausts. Cadmium concentration was 0 -12 mg/g. Some soil samples of areas near electric generators showed high pollution with cadmium equal 1.5 times more than unpolluted soils. Copper concentration was in the range 137-220 mg/g. It was clearly indicated that there was no any effect of wind direction on the distribution of lead, Cadmium and Copper. Silica percentage was varied between 69 -80%. The lowest concentration of silica was found at the areas faraway from generators and automobiles jam. Whereas ,higher concentration of silica was found at the entry of Mosul old bridge | ||
