Determination of Heavy Metals Concentration of Olt River Water from Valcea Area by Atomic Absorption Spectrometry

摘要

Heavy metals represent one of the most important categories of polluants of natural waters and wastewaters Small amounts of metallic polluants can cause extreme damages on environment quality This paper presents a study of few heavy metals of Olt river water The Olt river is one the most important rivers of Romania which length is 670 km It flows through Romania counties Harghita,Covasna,Brasov,Sibiu,Valcea and Olt The concentration of cations was determined by atomic absorption spectrometry.
