Al-Qadisiyah Journal of Pure Science

The regional and seasonal study of heavy metals were taken during February 2018 to November 2018, we determined the concentrations of seven heavy metals (Cd, Cr, Cu, Zn, Ni, Pb, Fe), by using Flame Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (FAAS) for sediment at Ten stations along Al-Delmaj lake they are (St.1, St.2 before feeding, St.2 after feeding, St.3, St.4, St.5 before discharge, St.5 after discharge, St.6, St.7, St.8), the stations were selected to cover all the marsh area. The Total Organic Carbon (TOC%) were analyzed. The results obtained for the sediment samples were low except for Fe and Pb which were relatively …
