All the five sampling stations are located upstream of the river within Makurdi town. Six heavy metals: Pb, Zn, Mn, Fe, Cu, and Cd were analysed by Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (AAS). The concentration of Zn, Mn and Cu fall within the acceptable limit while that of Fe, Cd and Pb were found to be higher than the maximum accepted limit. The order was Fe>Pb>Cd, with Fe been highest in Coca-Cola Pb and Cd were highest in UAM water work.
