| description | This investigation conducted on April 01, 2015, of the different locations surrounding oil refinery
factories near the Kasnazan district on Sulaimani road (Latitude 36.211N, Longitude 44.157E), to assess
the effects of oil refinery factory residues on soil contamination. Soil samples were collected towards
(E and W) from the contamination source, with various distances (0.5, 1, and 1.5 m) and different
depths (0–10, 10–20, and 20–30 cm) consequently. The concentrations of heavy metals such as
chromium, iron, manganese, nickel, and zinc were sequentially extracted and measured using portable
X-ray fluorescence at the soil and water department laboratories. The heavy metals concentration of
the soil samples was significantly affected by both factors (distances and depths). Fe had the highest
concentration value as ranged from 486.0 to 520.2 mg/kg with a mean (502.9 mg/kg), while Cr and
Zn had the lowest concentration value, Cr ranged from 0.0 to 9.33 mg/kg with a mean (3.22 mg/kg)
and Zn ranged from 0.0 to 1.9 mg/kg with a mean (1.43 mg/kg). Mn concentration ranged from 9.6
to 13 mg/kg with a mean (11.55 mg/kg) and Ni concentration ranged from 4.3 to 10.03 mg/kg with
a mean (7.40 mg/kg). The geoaccumulation index values of most samples located under the class (1)
uncontaminated to moderate index. |
