Abstract
The concentrations of heavy metals (Fe, Cu, Cr, Pb and Ni) in soil samples of filling stations and those of a control area (about a kilometer away from the filling stations) were investigated by sequential extraction method using Atomic Absorption Spectrometer (AAS). Results obtained showed the mean concentrations (mg/kg) of Fe, Cu, Cr, Pb and Ni in soil of studied areas as 18.43, 0.01, 0.012, 0.02, and 0.01 respectively while in controlled area soil are Fe, Cu, Cr, Pb and Ni had concentrations (mg/kg) of 10.376, 0.007, 0.004, 0.005 and 0.0048 respectively. Levels of the heavy metals in soils of both studied areas were observed to be lower than European Union safe limits.
