Abstract

ABSTRACT The study is aimed at access the Concentration of elements in sachet drinking water, Samples from Yusuf Maitama Sule University Market Area. The sample were analyzed for chromium and lead, this metals were analyzed using atomic absorption spectrophotometer(AA S) method. The result often shows that the Concentration of chromium in sample A-E are (0.608mg/1, 0.607mg/L, 0.607mg/L, 0.63 Img/L, 0.622mg/L) are higher than the recorded value by Word health organization(WHO) which have the recorded value of 0.05 per litre. And Concentration of lead in ABC and E (0.2 1Img/L, 0.019mg/L, 0.01Omg/L, 0.018mg/L) are within the recorded value. While sample D (0.066mg/L) are highly above the recorded value by World Health Organisation (WHO).
