Effects of the Brand of Electrical Generator on the Concentration of Heavy Metals in Soil and Plants

There are serious health and environmental problems caused by the use of diesel generators for backup power at many locations. For this purpose, ten different locations (Baharykon S1, Azadi 1 S2, 2 S3, Nasejan S4, Kuran S5, Nawroz S6, Kurdistan S7,92 Zanko S8, Nargz S9, Nishtiman S10) were selected. Three brands electrical used (B1 Cater piller, B2 Cummins, B3 Locally manufactured aggregates). The heavy metals (As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Zn, Pb, Hg) determined from both soil plants. pollution assessment indices applied contamination factor (CF), degree (Cdeg), Ecological Risk Factor, Potential Indices, biological accumulation factor. Results showed that highest values (5.368, 232.873, 3.023, 4.205, 1.697, 4.101,0.178) recorded in (B2S2, B3S5, B2S9, B3S1, B2S9) while was (249.199) (B3S5). According to their indications low (B2S9) moderate considerable B3S1), with high ecological risk RI (53.682, 6986.193, 6.046, 21.027, 20.507,13.936) (7081.261), which (B1S2, B2S7) (B3S5), respectively. potential (B2S9, risk, (B1S2) (B3S5) very risk. coefficient two plants (Eucalyptus amygdalina Labill, (Plant1), Dodonaea viscosa Jacq (Plant2 ) (8.433, 15.358, 23.311, 42.236, 52.626, 48.094, 0.190) (B3S8P1, B2S7P1,S3S5P2, B2S9P2, B2S7P2, B3S8P1,B3S4P1.The aim study is assess effect brand generator on concentration metal dust plant levels Erbil city
