Abstract

The work was conducted on some soil samples collected from Aila flood water inundated 3 unions of Shamnagar upazila, Satkhira, Bangladesh where Aila flood water inundated and were few months. The soil samples were analyzed to determine elemental contamination by PIXE analysis. The elemental concentration of Ni, Cu, Zn, Hg and Pb in the investigated soil samples is higher than the values obtained from reference soil samples provided from IAEA. The elevated amount of Ni, Cu, Zn, Hg and Pb may affect the geological properties of the soil and thus play some important role of anatomical characters and heavy metal accumulation potentiality during the development and growth of plants in the area which ultimate affect on population health. The present work also will be useful in providing environmental monitoring base data of those particular areas.
