Abstract
This study was aimed to determine the concentrations of As, Cd, Cr, Hg and Pb in soils and garlic, kale, onion, pepper and potato samples from farmlands irrigated with River Mojo water, at Koka village, Oromia state, east Ethiopia. Flame and Hydride Generation Atomic absorption Spectrometry methods were employed. The test results showed that in all soil samples, all the five trace heavy metals exist. The order of the metals mean concentrations (mg/kg) in soil is: As (32.72
