The concentration of heavy metals in ground water in Nasarawa West Senatorial District was analyzed using a standard method. A total of one hundred and forty two samples from different auto-mechanic workshops and control sites were collected at random between July-September representing wet (rainy) season and February-March representing dry season were analyzed for both heavy metals (Cobalt, Zinc, Cadmium, Copper, Nickel, Manganese, Chromium, and Lead) and physicochemical parameters using standard methods. Under ground water and used/unused engine oil were collected and analyzed using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometers (AAS).The results of the heavy metal concentrations in water from all the sample locations and physiochemical parameters of water samples were presented in tables. Results generally showed elevation in metal ion concentrations around automobile workshops investigated vis-a-vis the impact of the automobile workshops in metal ion concentrations. The values obtained from the analysis showed that most of the values of metal concentrations and the physicochemical parameters were higher in the dry season than that of the rainy season. This may be as a result of percolation, dissolution or diffusion which may likely occur. |
