Analysis of heavy metals and total hydrocarbons in water and sediment of Ovia River, in Ovia North East Local Government of Edo State, Nigeria

~ 08ea1ba8a4025041ca78018c360ec8a8.200x200
Water and Sediment samples were collected from four chosen stations at Ovia River, Edo State, Nigeria within the period of April, 2013 and September, 2014. Samples analyzed for heavy metals and total hydrocarbons. Essential metals such as manganese (0.947), copper (0.883) and zinc (0.817) had significant Varimax rotated matrices; hence they are the active components in the water, while copper...
