Abstract
Physicochemical parameters and heavy metal content of the Ome River at Ago-Iwoye in Ijebu-North Local Government Area of Ogun State, Nigeria were determined using standard analytical methods. Four water sample were selected along the river. Parameters determined include chloride, conductivity, salinity, ammonium ion, turbidity, pH, dissolved oxygen (DO), biological oxygen demand (BOD5) and total hard-ness as well as concentration of some heavy metals (Fe, Pb, Cd, Cu, Ni and Zn) in both water and fish samples. Concentration of heavy metals was determined by atomic absorption spectrophotometry while Na and K were estimated by flame photometry. The river was slightly acidic in Sample 1 (pH 6.80) and slightly alkaline in Sample 4 (pH 7.47). Turbidity ranged from 16 FTU (in Sample 4) to 22.0 FTU (in Sample 1) with a mean value of 19.250 FTU. The dissolved oxygen range of 5.16 (Sample 2) to 8.0 (Sample 4) ensures the survival of aquatic organisms. Iron was the most abundant metal both in fish (11.45 mg/kg) and water (4.85 mg/L). Cadmium had the lowest concentration in water (0.19 mg/kg) while Zn and Ni had the lowest concentrations in fish (0.18 mg/kg). Generally the heavy metals had significantly higher (p < 0.05) concentrations in fish than water.
