Analysis of heavy metals in River Indus at Biliani Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan
Abstract
Water plays a vital role for all living organism. If there is no water, there will be no life in the universe. Water is too much essential for the survival of life. The current study was conducted to evaluate the concentration of heavy metals in River Indus at Biliani site Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. For this purpose water samples were collected from three sites of the River i.e. upstream, midpoint and downstream respectively. The concentration of heavy metals such as cadmium, chromium, copper, manganese, lead, and zinc was recorded Zn 1.18-1.71 ppm; Cu 1.05-1.26 ppm; Cd 0.06-1.38 ppm; Pb 0.05-1.24 ppm; Cr 0.04-0.19 ppm and Mn 0.03-0.08 ppm respectively.
