These areas were chosen to study and assess the impact of heavy metals like Iron, Chromium, Manganese, Cobalt, Zinc and Cadmium in causing chemical pollution. Samples were collected from August 2008 to January 2010. Atomic absorption spectrophotometric analysis of non-filterable residue of surfacial sediments for the heavy metals were made. The fractionation analysis of the sediments for metals in four important phases, like the adsorbed and/or ion exchangeable, oxide coating, organic solids and crystalline phases were carried out. Total metal&#39;s concentration was also determined.</p> https://journalofchemistry.org/paper/620/ Surfacial sediments pollutants Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS) self purification
