    ASSESSMENT OF SOME HEAVY METALS AND PHYSICOCHEMICAL PARAMETERS IN HAND DUG WELL AND BOREHOLE WATER SAMPLE F ROM MUBI SOUTH L.G.A ADAMAWA STATE
    (university of el oued/جامعة الوادي, 2023-03-26) Abubakar, Muhammad; Sirajo, Ibrahim Tajo
    An att empt has been made to detriment the concentration level of some heavy metals and physicochemical parameters in hand dug Well and Borehole water of Mubi local govern ment area of Adamawa state with the aid of AAS , pH and conductivity meter. W ater samples wer e collected from ten sites which serves as drinking water sources and subjected to anal ysis for determination of Pb , Cd and Cr. The result s hows equal concentration of Pb 0.048±0.00 mg//L) detected from three samples, th e concentration level of Cd and Cr ranges between 0.088 to 0.439 mg/L and 0.250±0.165 to 0.750±0.333 mg/L respectively, this indicate that all the thr ee heavy metals detected were above the standard limit set by WHO and SON for drinking water. pH, conductivity and TDS values ranges between 6.94 to 8.14, 362 to 1063 µS/cm and 199.10 to 584.65 mg/L respectively, these were less than the value set by WHO.
