Abstract AR
تم قياس تركيز عنصر الرصاص في التربة الحضرية لمنطقة الوزیریة ببغداد منطقة معمل صناعة البطاريات و المنطقة السكنية التي من الممكن أن تتأثر بالانبعاثات الناتجة عن هذه الصناعة.
جمعت 100 عینة من التربة لغرض فحص تركيز الرصاص فيھا باستخدام جهاز الامتزاز الذري.
اعتمدت طريقة الرسم الإحصائي لتوضيح توزيع تراكيز هذا العنصر على منطقة الدراسة و اعتماد بعض المؤشرات البيئية الحيوية لتقييم نوعية التلوث الذي تعاني منه التربة مثل مؤشر التجميع التراكمي و مؤشر الخطورة على النظام الأيكولوجي.
أظهرت النتائج ارتفاع تركيز عنصر الرصاص عن محدداته العالمية و لمنطقة واسعة و وجود مناطق تعتبر ساخنة مما يؤثر مستقبلا على صحة الأنسان و على النظام الخضري.
Abstract EN
Lead (Pb) concentration in urban soils was measured in AL-Waziriya District in Baghdad city for both ; an industrial area of batteries industry and the residential area around it which may be affected by the emissions caused by production processes of the industrial activities.
A hundred samples were collected from the top soil and analyzed for Pb concentration using Adsorption Spectrometry method.
Geostatistical methods were used to study spatial structure distribution of Pb in this area besides using environmental indices (Geoaccumulation index Igeo and single potential ecological risk factor Ei) to evaluate contamination degree in the region.
Results showed that the examined sites are quite large in which Pb concentration values higher than the world regulatory values regarding soil pollution with it and identifying hot-spot areas.
These polluted areas could create a significant health risk for human beings and vegetation in the near future.
