1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
Many androgenic activities have been
going on almost at all points in obiagu, Enugu. Onu-Asata being the peak
of them all is where many toxic chemicals are produced; by these
activities, they are leached into the well water used in this area,
which has prompted for this research works on the determination of heavy
metal contamination of well water; heavy metals such as pb,
Fe,Zn,Cu,Ni,Cd,Mn,Cr.
1.3 OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY
To determine the
heavy metal contaminants such as pb, Fe, Zn, Cu, Ni, Cd, Mn,and Cr in
well water sample collected from onu-asata, obiagu, Enugu.
To ascertain the level of heavy metals contaminants in the well water sample.
To educate the people using the water on the health impacts of the water depending on the level of heavy metals present in it.
1.4 SIGNIFICANT OF THE STUDY
The
result of this research work would be useful in the determination of
heavy metals in well water samples, it also would disclose the level of
heavy metal contaminants in the well water sample collected from Onu
–asata thereby creating awareness on the health implication of using the
well water.
1.5 SCOPE OF THE STUDY
Due to some financial
constraints, this research work is limited to the determination of heavy
metal contaminants such as Pb,Fe,Zn,Cu,Ni,Cd,Mn and Cr in Onu-asata
well water.

ABSRACT - [ Total Page(s): 1 ]The determination of heavy metal composition of onu-asata well water has been carried out using standard analytical procedure. This result of the heavy metal determination of Onu-asata well water revealed that the concentration of lead in the water is 2.2mg/L, iron (5.3mg/L), Zinc (2.1mg/L), Copper (O.5m/L), Nickel (O.2mg/L), Cadmium (O.001mg/L), manganese (0.130mg/L), and chromium (0.02mg/L). The result of the analysis has shown that some of the heavy metal concentration in the water is withi ... Continue reading---
