Present study aimed at assessing the heavy metals concentration in water sources across Ara and Laminga using Micro Plasma Atomic Emission Spectroscopy (MPAES). The result revealed that, heavy metals for Ara and Laminga in mg/L (Zn (0.35 and 0.2), Cd (0.00 and 0.00), Fe (0.05 and 0.05), Cu (0.02 and 0.01), Pd (0.04 and 0.02), Ni (0.012 and 0.012) and Mn (0.04 and 0.04)) respectively were present in the water. It can be concluded that the mean concentration is insignificant and the area is considered free and the water in those areas is considered as a good water, though, on accumulation, heavy metals may have much impact radiation burden of the populace, hence, gross alpha and beta as well as risk assessment of water in the area is recommended as the concentration may elevate and cause cancer to the populaceenHeavy metals, Bioaccumulation, Toxicity, Bio-indicators, Gastropods, Micro Plasma Atomic Emission Spectroscopy (MP-AES).Article
