“…However, various studies have assessed the impacts of different wastewaters on soil. In a long-term field experiment, Omron & Maghraby (2012) observed an increase in soil organic matter (from 17% to 30%) in sewage-irrigated soils as compared with well water irrigated soils. The increase of 13 percentage points is considerably lower than that observed in the present study.…”

“…Positive and negative reported effects of wastewater on soil pH have been reported in the literature. Omron & Maghraby (2012) observed that soil pH decreased with sewage irrigation. Contrarily, other authors (El-Hady, 2007;Osaigbovo and Orhue, 2006;Rusan et al, 2007) reported an increase in soil pH with wastewater irrigation, as was the case in the present study.…”

“…Sewage water irrigated soils contained Ni, Cu, Cd, Cr and Fe three times greater than those irrigated with tube well water (Kharche et al, 2011). Sewage water irrigated soils contained significant accumulation of Pb, Cu, Ni Cr, Cd and Fe compared with tube well water (Al-Omron et al, 2012). Randhawa et al (2014) also reported that sewage and industrial effluents irrigated soils contained higher heavy metals contents especially Cd.…”

Growing of vegetables by the use of sewage water in peri-urban areas is a common practice which leads to heavy contamination of vegetables with metal ions. An experiment was conducted to compare the effect of canal, tube well and sewage water on growth, yield, biomass production and heavy metals accumulation in spinach. The heavy metals (Pb, Ni, Cu, Cd, Fe and Cr) contents in different water sources, soils and spinach plant parts grown with these irrigation sources were examined using atomic absorption spectrophotometer. The results declared that sewage water resulted in significantly greater growth, yield, biomass production and heavy metals contents compared with canal and tube well water and these metals contents were exceeding above the critical limits. Cu, Cd and Fe contents in sewage water irrigated soils were found above the maximum permissible limits, while Pb, Ni and Cr contents were within safer limits. Significantly greater heavy metals accumulation was recorded in edible parts of spinach grown with sewage water compared with canal and tube well water, which were exceeding the maximum permissible limits (MPLs). Canal water irrigated leaves samples also contained Cd and Fe above the permissible limits while all other metals contents were found within safe limits. The study concludes that regular examine of metals contents may possibly helpful in minimizing accumulation of these metals in the foods.
