Abstract
Soils were analyzed using 0.1 N HCl as an extractant for the heavy metals Cd, Cr, Ni and Pb on fine textured North Shore and coarse textured Annapolis Valley soils. Results showed ranges of 0.012-0.469 ppm Cd; 0.102-2.90 ppm Cr; 0.16-29.25 ppm Ni and 0.12-244.8 ppm Pb. The heavy metal content of fine textured soils was less influenced by changes in clay content and organic matter than were coarse textured soils. Generally the surface layers (0-15 cm) were higher in extractable heavy metal content than the lower layers (15-30 cm).This publication has 10 references indexed in Scilit:
