Problem of heavy metals pollution is becoming more serious with increasing
industrialization and disturbance of natural biogeochemical cycles. Heavy metals
can give adverse health effect to human and environment. The objectives of this
study were to determine the content of the selected heavy metals in topsoil
surrounding Biomass Power Plant and to assess the pollution levels based on
contamination factor, enrichment factor and geo-accumulation index. Heavy metal
that were analyzed included copper (Cu), zinc (Zn) and manganese (Mn). In this
study, the soil samples had been air-dried and sieved through 2.12 µm in size and
then, the soil samples were analyzed by using Quantexpress (Fast Screening) XRF
S8 Tiger. The mean concentrations (mg/kg) for Cu, Zn and Mn were found as
36.4, 17.2 and 66.4 respectively. The analysis of contamination factor showed that
the contamination degree of heavy metal in the soil samples is in the class of low
contamination degree to moderate contamination degree. Analysis of the Igeo
indexes indicates that heavy metal content in soil samples are mostly in the levels
of unpolluted. Based on the data of EF, it can be concluded that the soils
surrounding Biomass Power Plant is not significantly contaminated with the
studied heavy metals. |
