Survey of Heavy Metals Concentration (Fe، Ni، Cu، Zn، Pb) in Farmland Soils of Sistan Central Part

Background: Heavy metals pollution not only influences directly on physical and chemical properties, biological activity reduction, and mass access reduction of rich materials of soil, but also is considered as a serious harm in food safety and environment security. Therefore, protection of this resource and security of permanency is important. For this purpose, in this study concentration of heavy metals such as iron, copper, zinc, and nickel has been explored in agriculture soil of Sistan province central area. Methods: This study was applicable-infrastructural and 160 samples of soil from agriculture lands of central of Sistan's area were collected randomly. Iron, copper, zinc, lead, and nickel have been measured using FlameAtomic Absorption Spectrometer according t standard method.  Results: Concentration average of Iron, nickel, Copper, zinc, and lead were 340.96, 18.56, 7.28, 19.806, and 29.909 mg/kg, respectively. Conclusion: The concentration of iron, lead, nickel, zinc, and cooper in agricultural soil was less than limited levels of WHO and according to this case; there was no problem in soil health
