Measurements of boron concentration from rivers in northern Basrah Governorate using SSNTDs

Abstract: Consumption of boron-contaminated food and drinking water poses several health risks to consumers. As a result, the boron content in food particles must be measured. Drinking water samples were obtained from several locations in Northern Basrah, Iraq, for this investigation. The Solid State Nuclear Track Detector (SSNTDs) technique was used to examine the obtained water samples to identify boron levels. Boron levels were found to range from 0.28 ppm in Al Alwa (Al Qurnah) (tap water) to 1.85 ppm in Oil Street.… Show more

“…Despite the fact that some crops, such citrus fruits and beans, are toxic in concentrations as low as 1 mg L -1 , boron is nonetheless vital in agriculture. The permitted limit for boron was not exceeded in our most recent investigation [32] . Surface water naturally contains SO-4, which is sulfate SO4.…”
