Data of heavy metals in soil and groundwater at Kiwi gardens of Amlash in Guilan Province, Iran

Abstract

Data on this paper describe the concentrations of arsenic, cadmium, copper, nickel, lead and zinc in the surface soils and groundwater's of Kiwi gardens and its relation to chemical fertilizers in Amlash city, Guilan Province, in Iran. The results of this study showed that the average concentration of heavy metals in groundwater and soils of the studied areas was less than the national standards of Iran for irrigation water, Dutch MPA for soils (except Cu and Ni) and Canadian MAC for inorganic fertilizers. Considering that after fertilizing to soils used in gardening, the concentration of heavy metals in groundwater and soil can be increased significantly, so that chemical fertilizers can be considered as an effective factor in increasing the amount of heavy metals in water and soil. The results of this research can be used by who concern about water and soil quality related to fertilizing and also can be used by Rural Water and Wastewater Company and Ministry of Jahad Agriculture of Iran.

Assessment of trace element pollution in northern and western Iranian agricultural soils: a review

“…In the study of Naghipour et al (2018) on trace element contents of surface soils and groundwaters in Guilan Province, Iran, and their relation to chemical fertilizer addition, it was revealed that fertilization increased trace element (Cd, Cu, Ni, Pb, and Zn) contents in soil and groundwater samples. Naghipour et al (2018) stated that significant increase of trace element contents of soils and groundwaters following fertilizing soils reveals that chemical fertilizers have a crucial role in elevation of trace element contents in soils and groundwaters.…”

Assessment of Lead and Cadmium in Groundwater Sources Used for Drinking puposes in Jijel (northeastern Algeria).

“…Environmental pollution like drinking water and soil pollution by heavy metals is one of the most important issues in the world due to no-biodegradability of the metals and their impact on living organisms in concentration greater than thresholds (Naghipour et al 2018).…”
