The Study of Heavy Metals in Sediments Sampled From Dal Lake

Water quality monitoring has been high priority to determine the current conditions of the water system. The fast-growing population, unmanageable urbanization, steep industrialization and improper utilization of water resources have led to the unmatched destruction of water quality throughout the globe. The present study evaluates some of the heavy metals sampled from Dal Lake on temporal basis. These sediments were sampled and analyzed for heavy metals by atomic absorption spectrophotometery. However, the observed heavy metal concentration in these sediments was below the recommended limits. Thus, monitoring of man-made pollution which may lead to ecosystem and food chain contamination is necessary.
