A few investigations have been done to detect the heavy metals concentration in Al-Shabanat farm south of Riyadh near a group of different factories in order to determine its environmental impacts. The heavy metals were measured by using ICP-MS. The Results indicate that soil of Al-Shabanat farm has different concentrations of heavy metals. In this research the metals have been measured ware: Pb, Cd, Ni, As, Cr, Zn and Cu. The result of the concentration was within the permissible rang. The direct impact of heavy metals on humans and animals has been recognized that these metals didn’t pollute the soil due to the use of some factors that reduce the pollution rate, such as using fertilizers, in acceptable limits.
