Abstract
The natural background concentration of heavy metals in agricultural areas may be affected by the long term usage of fertilizers and agrochemicals. A study was conducted to determine the concentrations Of heavy metals copper Cu lead Pb and zinc Zn and some chemical properties of soils at Maran Pahang. Soil samples 0 - 20 cm and 20 - 40 cm were collected from secondary forest and areas cultivated with rubber and oil palm. The concentrations of heavy metals were determined after extraction with aqua regia solution. The chemical properties determined were pH organic carbon and CEC.The mean concentration of the heavy metals Cu Zn and Pb in the topsoils of the whole area were found to be 9.0 mg/kg 17.1 mg/kg and 22.19 mg/kg respectively. Of the three types of land use forest area showed the lowest values of heavy metals concentrations while the oil palm showed the highest values Cu: 10.9 mg/kg Zn; 30.5 mg/kg and Pb: 28 mg/kg for all the heavy metals concentration. In general the concentrations of heavy metals are still below the risk level for polluted soil. Soil pH was found to be positively correlated with Cu Zn and Pd.
