ABSTRACT
Background: Metal mining and waste discharge lead to regional heavy metal contamination and attract major concern because of the potential risk to local resident. In recent year, there has been an increasing ecological and global public health concern associated with environmental contamination by these metals. Main body of abstract- The majority of the heavy metals are toxic to the living organisms and even those considered as essential can be toxic if present in excess. This research was conducted to determine heavy metals in a sample of roadside plants from different locations by using spectrophotometer and to assess their pollution level and also highlights the poisonous impact of heavy metals like- Lead, Chromium, arsenic, zinc, cadmium, cupper etc. on soil Human health by using various literature surveys. However, research was based on different methodology including sample collection, size reduction, sample digestion, wet acid digestion using nitric acid, dry ash method, and analysis of sample using spectroscopy. Short conclusion- With the help of various identification test for heavy metals we Examine heavy metal by using UV spectrophotometer to regulate, measure, and process data for the purpose of identification of heavy metals in a sample of road side plants. By executing successive dilutions of the solutions obtained after performing digestion of sample being examined with spectral peak reports for serial dilutions of 1?g/ml,2?g/ml,3?g/ml,4?g/ml, are each recorded using a spectrophotometer (Spectrum peak pick report). Keywords: Heavy metals: Literature surveys: Methodology: Identification test: UV spectrophotometer
