Analysis of heavy metals (Cr, Cd, Hg) distribution in Allium Cepa L. plants from soils by using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (Aas)
Vegetables are essential in eating habit for human due to their richness contents such as protein, carbohydrate, fibres, vitamin and minerals but they are easily to be affect by the concentration of heavy metals accumulation from soil. Therefore, Allium cepa L. (onion plant) are chosen to study the...
