Arsenic considered as in the concentration of the soil, water and cereals of Sargodha, Punjab, Pakistan. Three different sites of Sargodha that were
selected for sampling, these sites were irrigated with 3 different water resources. Site one irrigated with municipal sewage, the site two irrigated
with canal water and the site three irrigated with ground water. The site 1 in which municipal sewage have high level of the heavy metals. For soil
maximum PLI (Pollution load index) was perceived in Zea mays (3.02 mg/kg) and the minimum PLI concentration was in Linum usitatissimum (1.83
mg/kg). For soil maximum BCF (Bio-concentration factor) was detected in Pennisetum glaucum (0.38 mg/kg) and the minimum BCF concentration
was prescribed in Zea mays at site 1. For soil the maximum Enrichment factor (EF) was prescribed in Triticum aestivum (100.8 mg/kg) and the
minimum .. Read More»
