Abstract: 1 Faculty of Science, Chiangmai University, Chiangmai Province 502002 Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, Faculty of Science, California State University, Fullerton, California 92834, USAThe concentrations of the heavy metals: cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), copper (Cu), mercury (Hg), nickel (Ni), lead (Pb) and zinc (Zn) were examined among different sources of couple areas of Nan province, Thailand. The heavy metal concentrations were very low in water, and low and fluctuated concentration with Zn of 884.67 to 3,786 mg/kg in sediment. Whereas, in blue green algae (Nostochopsis spp.) Zn concentration was 884.67 to 1,634 mg/kg, but the others were not detectable.
