Heavy Metals in Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) Harvested from Farmlands along Highways in Owerri, Nigeria
Öz: Concentrations of heavy metals (Cu, Pb, Zn, Ni, Cd) in cassava grown on farmlands along highwaysin Owerri, was investigated. Cassava leaves and root samples were harvested from cassava farmsalong three major roads with high traffic density and another rural road that served as controllocation. Standard laboratory procedures to determine the concentration of these metals wereadopted using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer. The metal concentrations in mg/kg in cassavaroot showed high levels of Cu (6.29±0.0346), Zn (8.49±2.243), Pb (0.5267±0.3156) and Cd(0.1167±0.0833). The concentrations of the heavy metals in the cassava leaves were of the order: Zn> Cu >Pb> Ni > Cd. Soil plant transfer factor values for all the metals in all the sites indicatedmedium accumulation. Heavy metal concentrations in soil showed significant correlation withconcentrations in cassava root with no significant statistical differences in bioaccumulation of heavymetals in different parts of cassava. The overall results showed evidence of some heavy metalpollution on the soils and cassava plant.
