Evaluation of Heavy Metals (Cadmium and Lead) in Groundwater of Razi Industrial Park, Isfahan

Abstract

Groundwater is the most important resource to provide drinking water and the water used in agriculture in most parts of Iran and since industrial cities and particularly their sewage is significantly important in polluting these water resources, in this study we tried to recognize heavy metals' pollution like Cadmium and lead available in groundwater of Razi industrial park of Isfahan by sampling the downstream watershed areas under study and this city's share in the level and kind of heavy metals of water. The results of this study showed that the amount of these metals in the area's groundwater was so negligible and the city did not have a significant role in the content of these metals in these water resources.
