Abstract
Lead contamination in soil and vegetation samples have been determined at different locations in Al Fossool Al arbaa lead plant (FALP) area. Average lead content was determined at different locations and directions from the plant in washed and unwashed vegetation samples, which ranged from 5.8 to 541.3 ppm and 8.7 to 1173.1 ppm respectively. Similarly, lead content in soil samples has also been determined at different locations and directions from the plant, which ranged from 12.0 to 5439.8 ppm. The observed lead content data were compared with newly obtained data from Al Aziziyah, Al Qarabulli, and Ben Ghashir towns. The lead content in soil and vegetation of Al Fossool Al arbaa plant area was found to be much higher than that in the above mentioned locations.
