Abstract:
The current study evaluates the contamination and health risks by Cd, Co, Cu, Fe, Pb, Zn, Ni, and Mn in coastal sediment of the Abu Ghusun, Egyptian Red Sea. 28 surface sediments were collected for PTE analysis and several indices were applied to assess contamination and risks to human health. The descending order of the average concentrations of PTEs (μg/g, dry weight) were in the following order: Fe (3022) > Mn > (424.22) > Zn (5.66) > Pb (2.058) > Ni (1.50) > Co (1.21) > Cu (0.38) > Cd (0.18). The Abu Ghusun coastal sediments were severely enriched with Cd, moderately severely enriched with Mn.
