- The objective of this research was to determine the differences between XRF and AAS techniques and also to determine the most suitable techniques to identify the content of heavy meal. materials used were from contaminated soil and water which contained heavy metal. Soil used was from closed dumping site whereas for water, it was taken from oxidation ponds. The contaminated materials were be compared with uncontaminated materials to analyses the contamination level. The tested heavy metals were Fe, Mn, K, Ca and Al. the result show contains of soil between XRF and AAS techniques are differences. With the XRF techniques, the average concentration of Ca, Al and K are 2.74 %, 15.54% and 9.54% whereas with AAS techniques the average concentration of Ca and K are 115.25% and 84.37%.
