Assessment of Heavy Metals in Surface Water and Bottom Sediment of Ekpan Creek, Effurun, Delta State, Nigeria

~ 7ef6e3ca0a477510c05395bf15ed2b03.200x200
The accumulation of heavy metals in water and sediment of Ekpan Creek has increased significantly from previously reported concentrations. The present study was designed to assess the levels of heavy metals in surface water and sediment in the Creek using scientifically recommended procedures for seven (7) heavy metals levels of Iron (Fe), Zinc (Zn), Copper (Cu),Lead (Pb), Chromium (Cr),...
