Estimationof lead levels in soil for someareas at EastGezira regions andkhartoum-Sudan (Acomparative
study between the rural areas and urban areas)

L
ead is a chemical element with an atomic number 82 and
symbol Pb, and nowadays recognized as a heavy-metal
poisonous, it affects every system of the body. Acute exposure
to high level of Lead can result in death or significant damage
to the brain or other organs. The study aimed to determine
the concentration of Lead in Soil of some areas in Khartoum
and East of Gezira (Baanat, Rufa’a, and Tamboul) Specifically.
Also, to make a comparison between the rural areas and the
urban areas. Eighteen samples of soil were collected from
the bus stations, batteries repairing Market in Souk Sha’bi
and specific distances away from them. The analysis work
was done by Atomic Absorption Spectrometer method. Lead
concentration in samples of soil in this study was ranged 0.78
ppm (Baanaat) – 10.58 ppm (Batteries Market Souk Sha’bi).
A positive correlation was found between Urbanization and
lead mean concentration 1.22 ppm in Khartoum and 0.40
ppm in East of Gezira. A positive correlation was also found
between the concentrations of lead as being nearer to the
centre of each of the bus station and Batteries repairing
market and the Main road. So, this study recommended that
all Lead-related industries and markets should be far enough
from human living to avoid environmental lead pollution.
