Abstract
This study seeks to find out the risk of heavy metal pollution in domestic water on human health. The size of samples was 50 domestic water, 50 urine, and 50 blood samples taken from subjects chosen of the different four districts during 2017. Trace metal analysis was done using atomic absorption spectrophotometer. The results showed alarming levels of heavy metal contamination that exceed national and international thresholds in several observed sites. Therefore, stricter standards may be needed in order to reduce overall population exposure.
