dc.description.abstract | The relationship between zinc and copper concentration levels and the distribution of benthic macro-invertebrates in river Sosiani, Eldoret has been investigated. Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry (AAS) and the Dip-net method have established the concentration of zinc and copper and the number of macro-invertebrates respectively. The study showed that the concentration of both copper and zinc were higher than the threshold levels and that the macro-invertebrate species were fewer in the more polluted regions of the river. Thus, zinc and copper concentration levels play a role in the distribution of macro-invertebrates. | |
