The concentration in mg/kg of Pb, Cd, Cr, Fe and Zn were determined in Salad sample which ws obtained from K/Marusa, K/Durbi and K/Sauri irrigation sites of Katsina metropolis Katsina, Nigeria, using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry (AAS) Buck Scientific Model VPG 210 samples were analysed and recorded at K/Marusa as:Cd(17.5mg/kg0>Zn(12.5mg/kg)>Pb(6.06mg/kg)>Fe(4.51mg/kg)>Cr(3.98mg/kg), K/Durbi, Zn(12.5mg/kg)>Cd(11.67mg/kg)>Pb(7.58mg/kg)>Fe(6.25mg/kg)>Cr(4.71mg/kg) and K/Sauri, Cd(12.5mg/kg)>Zn(8.68mg/kg)>Pb(6.82mg/kg)>Fe(5.9mg/kg)>Cr(4.35mg/kg) respectively. However, the values are above the recommended guidelines set by join WHO/FAO for irrigation practices, as such the study
