Abstract

For irrigation of soil utilization of wastewater has risen significantly in the past few years. This wastewater often have large amount of trace elements and heavy metals, many of which are non-essential and harmful to living organisms such as plants, animals, and humans. In Pakistan, particularly around suburban areas, it is common to use this polluted water for growing vegetables. When such water is used for irrigation over an extended period of time, toxic substances can accumulate in the soil, potentially causing toxicity to plants and degrading soil quality. The samples analyzed in the study were prepared using the wet acid digestion method. Metal concentrations were determined through atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS). The mean Mn concentration in Forages samples ranged from 5.37 to 0.89 mg/kg Mn main concentration were ranged from 1.259 to 0.541 mg/L Sewage water Mn values ranged from 32.58 to 20.61 mg/kg. The accumulation of Mn in the blood of buffaloes ranged from 1.75 to 0.94 mg/L.
