Abstract

Evaluation of physicochemical parameters and heavy metals concentration of wastewater used for irrigation at Tukuntawa Radio Station was carried out. Six samples were collected from different sampling points. Levels of various physicochemical parameters such as Temperature, pH, Electrical conductivity (EC), Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), turbidity, F^-, and PO^3- were determined using standard analytical methods. The concentration of, Fe, Cu, Cr and Mn were determined using standard methods. The parameters analyzed are within the maximum permissible limits (MPL) recommended by Nigerian Standard for Drinking Water Quality (NSDWQ) and world Health Organization (WHO) with exception of turbidity level at all the sampling station, EC concentration at A, D, and F sampling point as well as TDS concentrations at D sampling point. The results also showed that, the concentration of Cr, Cu, Fe, and Mn in some sampling sites were slightly above the maximum permissible limit (MPL) recommended by NSDWQ and WHO.
