Abstract The concentration of heavy metals (Pb, Cd, Cu, Zn, Co, Ni, Mn and Fe) was determined and assessed in sediments from Egyptian Red Sea. The highest means of Pb, Cd and Co were recorded in the Gulf of Suez sediments, Mn and Fe were in the Aqaba Gulf, while Cu, Zn and Ni were in the Red Sea proper. Mean values of Cd, Mn and Fe displayed significant differences (p < 0.05) between the different regions. The calculated pollution indices (CF, PLI, MPI, Igeo and EF) indicated that the examined regions reflected slight to moderate pollution states. |
