Abstract:
This study evaluates heavy metal contamination in beach sediments to assess environmental and human risks. Sampling was conducted at Sharm Port and El-Maya Bay, both popular tourist areas. Sediment samples revealed varying concentrations of Fe, Mn, Zn, Pb, Cu, and Co, all within safe levels. Non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic risks were evaluated through chronic daily intake and hazard indices, revealing that ingestion poses the highest risk among exposure pathways.
