Assessment of heavy metals in River Kunhar at Naran Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan
Abstract
The present assessment was carried out to explore the amount of heavy metals in River Kunhar at Naran sampling station Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. In the current research three sampling sites (Upstream, Mid Point and Downstream) were selected in River Kunhar at Naran sampling station which were away from one another 100 meter distance. The main goal of the current investigation was find out health hazards heavy metals such as Zn, Cu, Cd, Pb, Cr and Mn in the River Kunhar at Naran sampling station. In the current research the amount of toxic metals obtained were Zn 1.14-1.85ppm; Cu 1.04-1.26ppm; Cd 0.05-1.34ppm; Pb 0.05-1.29ppm; Cr 0.04-0.17ppm and Mn 0.05-0.09ppm respectively. The present survey reviled that Cu, Cd, Ob and Cr was found exceeded the permissible limits while Mn Zn were within the permissible range.
