Twelve samples were collected from the surface sediments of lagoon and adjacent Mediterranean Sea. Samples were analyzed for grain size, total organic carbon (TOC), total carbonate (CaCO3), various forms of phosphorus and heavy metals (Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu, Ni, Co, Cd and Pb). The results indicated that the sediments were composed of sand, silt and clay enriched with carbonate (1.95 – 34.1%) and total organic carbon (0.06 and 3.62%). The total-P content ranged between 58 and 1186 μg/g, and the fraction associated with apatite minerals (PHCl) was the dominant (it constitutes about 50 – 73% of TP) implying that it was the main storage of phosphate. The various P phases demonstrated significant positive correlation with mean size, silt, clay, TOC, CaCO3 and TP,... |

The present study aims to measure the concentration of vanadium in 73 sediment samples collected along the coastal area of the Egyptian seas (Mediterranean and Red Seas). The results indicated that the mean value of vanadium in Red Sea sediments (52.61 µg/g) was higher than the mean value of the Mediterranean (40.58 µg/g) and the variation between the two means was insignificant (p = 0.241). This result could be attributed to the high petroleum activities of the Red Sea. Along the Mediterranean coast, the sector in front of Port Said area exhibited the highest mean value of vanadium (103.9 µg/g) than other sectors, which suffers from many sources of pollution. While the highest mean value along the Red Sea coast (73.20 µg/g) was found at the sector of Red... |
