Frequency distribution of heavy metal contents in natural, urban and mining locations in Mongolia

Abstract

As there are just a few researches on heavy metals in soil in Mongolia, the examination will be led to investigate the presence of any harmful metals in 22 samples with ICP-OES technique which is the most elemental analysis technique. Samples will be collected from mining area which is in the desert, urban area in the capital city and mountainous local city in Mongolia. The study will focus on determining the spread of heavy metal contents as well as its health risk assessment and contamination level. The results will be analyzed with Mongolian standard for toxic chemicals in soil. The modifications used to immobilize the pollutants may not be specialized for a certain metal, resulting in the release of a hazardous metal into the soil. Therefore, there will be a need for developing new methods that can effectively lead to removal of heavy metals from the contaminated soil. The dissertation will include: Introduction and aim, Literature survey, Materials and method, Result, Discussion, Recommendation and further tasks, Summary, Acknowledgement and References.
