    Investigation of Heavy Metals in Jahangirnagar University Lakes Water in Bangladesh
    Author(s): Sumon Deb Nath*, Tasrina Rabia Choudhury and Rabindra Chandra Sinha

    Using flame atomic absorption spectrophotometer (FAAS), concentration of toxic metals Pb, Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn and Zn in two Jahangirnagar University lakes were determined. For Lake-1, concentration ranged as 0.021 to 0.031 mg/l for Pb, 0.6 to 1.029 mg/l for Fe, 0.006 to 0.09 mg/l for Mn and 0.0042 to 0.0069 mg/l for Zn. For Lake-2, concentration ranged as 0.028 to 0.032 mg/l for Pb, 0.593 to 0.682 mg/l for Fe, 0.069 to 0.116 mg/l for Mn and 0.0019 to 0.004 mg/l for Zn. Cd, Cr and Cu were found below the detection limit both in Lake-1 and Lake-2. For Lake-1, the observed pH and TDS ranges 7.33-7.37 and 126-156 mg/l respectively. For Lake-2, the observed pH and TDs ranges as 7.31-7.37 and 129-152 mg/l respectively. Insignificant correlation was found among the heavy metals in Lake-1. For Lake-2, Pb and Mn show significant positive correlations among themselves and.. Read More»
