摘要:Dried goat faeces intended for use as manure on farm crops was assessed for contamination of lead. Mean concentrations of lead from the control site were 0.4590mg/L in February, 0.2665mg/L in March, 0.4293mg/L in April and 0.3183mg/L in May while for the sampling site the mean lead concentrations were 0.3257mg/L, 0.5700mg/L, 0.4367mg/L and 0.4145mg/L in the same month period respectively. The mean lead concentration for the studied four months in the sampling site was 0.43675±0.100mg/L against 0.368275±0.091mg/L from the control site; sample site is higher than the control site. However, the difference in mean concentration was not significant (p<0.05).
