| Abstract | ||
| Soil samples were collected from four locations in Ninavah and Duhok Governorates / northern Iraq, including (Makhmor, Hamdania, Shikhan and Zakho). The aim of this study was distrabution of some heavy metals soil and evaluation by used some pollution parameter. Soil samples collections from three depths (0 – 20, 20 - 40 and 40 – 60 cm). Determination some of heavy metals (Cd, Co, Mo, Cu, Zn, Ni and Pb) by using (XRF) technique. The results showed that there is a difference in the studied locations of ( Makhmor < Hamdania < Shikhan < Zakho) for Cu, Zn and Pb elements, locations of ( Makhmor < Shikhan < Hamdania < Zakho) for Co and Ni metal, locations of (Makhmor > Hamdania = Shikhan = Zakho) for Cd element, locations of ( Hamdania > Makhmor > Shikhan > Zakho) for Mo metal. Calculation of pollution indices has been done such as: contamination factor (CF) and pollution load index (PLI).The Results of (CF) for Makhmor , Hamdania and Shikhan locations were: Cd > Mo > Ni > Co > Cu > Zn > Pb, while (CF) of Zakho location : Cd > Ni > Mo > Co > Cu > Zn > Pb. Results of (PLI) showed : Zakho > Hamdania > Shikhan > Makhmor locations (2.32, 2.06, 2.07, 1.65) respectively. | ||
