Abstract

Further to our previous published papers on the assessment of drinking water quality status of Butana mining sites in the dry season, this current study is conducted to assess the seasonal variations in concentration of the heavy metals during the two major seasons (Dry and Wet seasons) in #Butana Mining area, Eastern Sudan, aiming at unveiling the environmental pollution status of the soil, and also aiming at monitoring the #anthropological and geochemical environment surroundings the sources of drinking water. To achieve this goal, 31 soil samples, 24 stream sediments and 14 gold mining #tailings random sampling were analyzed for the concentration levels of the heavy metals (Ni, Cr, Co, Zn, Cu, Pb, Cd, Mn, Fe and Hg) in the three sampled categories using #Flame Atomic Absorption Spectrometer 5^th generation from GBC. The average concentration levels in the soil samples in Wet season were compared with those levels in the soil samples in Dry season and also compared with those average concentrations reported in most World Soils.
