Abstract

A high content of heavy metals in the soil and plants accumulated by a crude oil might causeserious damage to the environment and can be a threat to the health of the surrounding population This paper presents the results of research that focused on analyzing the heavy metal(mercury and lead) content insoil and plants in oil company ,The analysis focused on the content of heavy metals in soil and plant(Atomic absorption spectrometry and DMA80). In the soil sample the concentration of mercury higher than lead 6.423 ,1.261ppm respectively and withinWorld Health Organization (WHO) allowable limits and the concentration of mercury in plant The arrangement was as follows: Alhagigraecorum> Eucalyptus camaldulensis>Phragmitesaustralis>Phoenix dactylifera , Ziziphusspina-christi>Tamarixarticulata>Typhadomingensis .And in lead arrangement was as follows, Alhagigraecorum> Eucalyptus camaldulensis>Phragmitesaustralis>Ziziphusspina-christi>Phoenix dactylifera>Typhadomingensis>Tamarixarticulata.
