Abstract:
Four heavy metals were selected to estimate their concentrations on the Tigris River in the Baghdad area, the water samples collected from three stations on the river represented the northern, central and southern Baghdad, using apolyethylene bottles of 2-liter for the period from March 2010 until February 2011 and then on a monthly basis. It observed from the results, that all of the concentrations of heavy metals under the study, were within the permissible limits for the three stations depending on the values of Iraqi Rivers Maintenance Regulation No. 25 of 1967.In many of the recoding data it was within intangible readings because of the low concentration of the heavy metals in the sample.
