Wash the soil sample with distilled water and go for analysis using atomic absorption spectroscopy

Hi Fahim

The aqua regia treatment could be adopted for the determination of heavy metals content in soil.The digestions of the samples which were in line with Method TMECC 04.12-B Nitric acid digestion, SW-846 US EPA 3050B Modified as per the TMECC(2001) could be followed. About 5 g of oven-dried ground solid soil particles(
