Heavy metals contamination of fruits and vegetables as a consequence of wastewater irrigation is most important concern today. Present study measures heavy metals concentration (Cr, Cu and Pb) in soil and vegetable samples collected from agriculture area around four major drains of Lahore (Hudiara drain, BabuSabu drain, Chota Ravi drain and Kharak drain). Results show that concentration of Cu, Cr and Pb in soil samples were in compliance with WHO and EU standards, with an average of 2.221 ± 1.184, 5.314 ± 1.0511 and 3.864 ± 1.6095 mg/kg respectively. Cu content in vegetables ranged from 0.4-18.9 mg/Kg (average of 4.11 ± 6.639 mg/kg), was within limits while Cr in Lady Finger, from Chota Ravi drain area, was 13.2 mg/Kg which is higher than permissible limit (2.4 mg/Kg). While Pb concentration in vegetables samples varied between 0.7 -8.1 mg/Kg (Mean 2.329 ± 2.592 mg/kg), which was also higher than the standard (0.3 mg/Kg).Bangladesh J. Sci. Ind.

The Impact

Abstract In many arid and semiarid countries, wastewater irrigation is becoming a common practice in agriculture. Commitment of government and social intervention for more effective waste management are the major constraints. The study was conducted in eastern Ethiopia to identify the impacts of municipal wastewater soil physicochemical properties and irrigation water quality. Soil samples were collected from different farm fields to determine the physical and chemical properties of soil, and heavy metal accumulation at different irrigation farms and wastewater samples were also analyzed. Manusipal wastewater taken from different study sites was categorized into three groups: control (nonirrigated), municipal wastewater irrigated farmland and municipal wastewater irrigated farmland. The results showed that bulk density was negatively decreased and moisture contents and total porosity were significantly increased. The soil EC, cadmium, lead available phosphorus, OM, and CEC levels significantly increased with increasing wastewater application. The concentrations of Zn, Cu, Cd, Pb and Cr are highwere higher in irrigated effluent than in nonirrigated effluent. Untreated and treated MWW were tested for heavy metal presence and accumulation. In the present study, soil OM increased as the content in the soil also increased as the number of irrigations increased. The most effective way to eliminate the impact of this municipal wastewater on the soil is to develop and implement an effective wastewater management plan. Limited studies have been done, and they should be encouraged to address municipal wastewater impacts on plants and farmers. The government should be focused on awareness of creation and management systems.

Lambert sweet cherry (Prunus avium L.) established on Osoyoos loamy sand in 1983 was subjected to treatments involving all combinations of two types of irrigation (wellwater or municipal wastewater) and three rates of N fertilization (0, 68 and 136 g of N as NH4NO3 tree−1 yr−1), 1984–1987. The zero-N treatment was increased to 34 g N tree−1 in 1986–1987. Wastewater irrigation increased leaf N, P, K, B and Mn concentration, decreased leaf Mg and Ca and had few consistent effects on leaf Fe and Cu. Tree growth was increased after 2 yr but not after 5 yr by wastewater irrigation. Inadequate N and Zn nutrition appeared to limit long-term tree growth. After 5 yr, wastewater-irrigated soils had higher extractable P, K, and B and lower Ca and Mg than well-water-irrigated soils which had higher Ca and Mg to 0.9-m depth. Wastewater irrigation also increased extractable Na throughout the soil but insufficiently to adversely affect tree growth. Soil pH and electrical conductivity also increased during the experiment for both well- and wastewater-irrigated soils, but these increases did not cause alkalinity or salinity problems. Key words: Prunus avium L., wastewater irrigation, leaf nutrition, soil quality
