Abstract

Due to human activities level of metal ions circulating in the environment has been increasing continuously. It is important to understand the tolerance of plants species to high concentration of heavy metals. The present study compares the metal content in soil and plants irrigated with tannery treated and fresh water. The analysis of Kasur tannery treated water shows that high value of Cr 4.55 ± 0.01 mg/L and Fe 7.59 ± 0.02 mg/L that exceed National environmental quality standard. The result reveals that the concentration of Cu, Mn, Cr, Fe, Zn, Na, K concentration in soil, Digitaria sanguinalis, Nerium oleander and Eucalyptus samples taken from tannery irrigated water areas have high values as compared to fresh irrigated water.
