Impact of Lead Pollution on the Contamination of Water, Soil and Plants

Abstract

Examines the effect of pollution along the agriculture highway between Cairo and Alexandria. Different samples of water, soil and plants (clover) were collected from nine variable locations along this highway. Results obtained revealed that the influence of lead precipitating from the atmosphere directly reflects the lead content of soil. Concentration of metals so far did not show any great significant effect.
