Abstract
Some heavy metals in the water and sediment of Bindare Stream of Chikaji Industrial Area Zaria, in the northern
part of Nigeria were analysed using Energy Dispersive X-Ray Fluorescence (EDX-RF) at the Centre for Energy Research and
Training (CERT) ABU Zaria. The following metals were detected: Aluminium (Al), Titanium (Ti), Iron (Fe), Chromium (Cr),
Zinc (Zn), Copper (Cu), Manganese (Mn), Cadmium (Cd) and Nickel (Ni). Their means (mg/L) and standard errors for the
metals in the water is as follows: Al 7.97 Ti 6.24 Fe 5.31 Cr 4.19 ; Zn 5.93 Cu
2.07 Mn 4.77 Cd 0.43 Ni 3.15 while the metals (mg/L) that were detected in the sediment is
as follows, Al 20.2 ; Ti13.19 Fe 11.75 Cr 8.70±1.90; Zn 6.77±0.17; Cu 10.62±1.06; Mn 6.54±0.41; Cd
3.92±0.55 and Ni 5.92±0.40. Metals like Al, Ti, Fe, Zn and Cu showed values above 2007 Nigerian Industrial Standards. Mn
and Cd had no values for comparison
