English Abstract

So far there are no investigation or any study on the soil contamination or measuring the Pollutants levels is soil of Samarra city, the present work is part of project to estimate the heavy metals in the soil and other contamination elements.

Soil pollution, in short, is a much bigger and more complicated problem than it might appear.

The soil texture varied from Clay Silts to Sandy Silts trending to Gypsy nature because of high calcium Sulphate levels with high levels of calcium carbonate.

The risk in this study was the high levels of Lead concentration in all soil samples collected from Samarra City.

The highest lead concentration register 1220,4 ppm while the control was just 380,4 ppm.

Levels of Calcium Carbonate also registered high concentration.

By talking about Calcium Sulphate there is a high levels recorded because the Soil type of Samarra is Gypsum.

The Total Iron is very High 2460 ppm opposite low concentration of Bioavailability Fe (62 ppm) for Plant uptake.-
