Ecological and health risk assessment of trace metals in water collected from Haripur gas blowout area of Bangladesh

Abstract The study aims to assess the trace metals and physicochemical properties of water in the adjacent to the Sylhet gas blowout area. Trace metals were analyzed using atomic absorption spectrophotometer, whereas physicochemical parameters were evaluated in-situ state using portable instruments...
