Heavy metals pollution is common problem in many lakes of Egypt, so this research aimed to assess this problem in Lake Malaha. Twenty-four samples taken from water and sediments of the lagoons of Lake Malaha. The water samples were collected and preserved by storing in acid-washed polyethylene bottles, sediment samples were collected and then kept in cleaned plastic bags and chilled on ice box. The chemical analysis for either water samples or sediment samples was assessed. The measured metals were Cr, Fe, Cd, and Zn, Ba and Pb. The obtained results showed that all concentrations of the measured heavy metals were within the permissible limits, this motivates us to maintain the lake and manage it in a good environmental manner and this will be a benefit for increasing fisheries and maintain biodiversity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
