| Abstract | ||
| The Fe, Cd, Cu, Mn, and Zn heavy metals in 48 samples from the soil of the floodplain at the midstream of the Qweik River, south of Aleppo City, near Al-ISS village have been investigated by using atomic absorption spectrophotometer. The results showing that; the range of Fe between (2.1- 147.2 ppm), below the high limit of the soil and the relative high abundance of Fe in the first two stations closed to the river channel and enriched with organic matter enrichment. The Cd concentration in the studied samples with a wide range (1.1- 9.2 ppm), higher than the standards in the soil and that may due to irrigation by sewage wastewater during long period of time. The Cu concentration between (1.8-14.2 ppm) which is less than standards and the relative high concentration in the first two stations may associated with enrichment of the soil with organic matters. Also, Mn concentration between (0.1- 68.2 ppm) and Zn between (0.3- 8.6ppm), which are both below the standard limits of the soil contents. The wide range of these two elements may related to the high concentration of organic material in the first two stations. | ||
