Abstract:This research is an assessment of toxic metals in stream sediments from the Abakaliki Pb-Zn mine area of Ebonyi state. Heavy metals in stream sediment samples were analysed using Atomic Absorption Spectrometer (AAS). Physicochemical parameters were determined show that pH is generally low (3.65) resulting from the dissolution of the sulphide Ore. The heavy metal mean trend indicates that Fe > Zn >Pb> Cr >Cu > Ni > AS > Cd in the stream sediment samples. Fe, Zn, Cu, Pb and Cr were observed to be high. The varia… Show more
