“…Al-Bassam and Al-Mukhtar (2007) researched traces metals within 63m of Euphrates River breaks soils and discovered enhancement of such trace metal ions. (Hussain and Al-Jaberi, 2020) 25 core samples are collected from 8 rivers sediment soil locations to analyze trace metals content for the Euphrates as well as Shatt al-Arab. Anthropogenic activities like urban development, industrialization, agricultural runoff, fertilizers, as well as the electrical station to Haditha dam are really the major sources of pollution within area.…”

10 sediment samples were obtained from Haditha reservoir and Anah city in Al-Anbar governorate for this study during (October, 2021). to assess sediment contamination in trace metals like (Cd, Fe, Pb, Zn, Cu, and Ni), from applying geochemical contamination coefficients such as Geo - Accumulation variable I-Geo, Contamination Factor CF, as well as Pollution loud Index PLI. The research area is found in the northwestern region of Al-Anbar governorate, between the longitudes (42º23'.13'' - 42º01'.10'' E). and latitudes (34º10'.22'' - 34º22'.7'' N), The area which is located between Haditha Dam and Anah city. The results of geochemical analyzes showed that it soil sediment has a high value of the elements (Ni, Fe and Cd), which exceeds the limits of local studies, this can be affected by Anthropogenic activities like urbanization, industrialization, agricultural runoff, fertilizers, and also the Haditha dam's electrical station, but the elements (Zn, Pb and Cu), Within the permissible limits of local studies.The results of the I-geo shows that the elements (Ni, Zn, Pb, Fe and Cu), has unpolluted (class- 0). While Cd is (class- 1), slightly polluted.

“…Al-Paruany et al, (2017) they studied the distribution of environmental isotopes (δ 18 O, δ 2 Hand 3 H) and hydrochemistry at eight stations in the Euphrates river between Qaim-Falluja. Hussain et al, (2020) twenty-five core samples were selected from eight river bed sediment sites to study the heavy metal contamination of the Euphrates and Shatt al-Arab. The Ta, W, Ni, and Mo were clearly the most contaminated heavy metals in the current investigation.…”

Clay fractions (<2µm) from ten stream sediments were collected from the Euphrates River between AlQaim-Haditha area in the western desert of Iraq. The clay fractions were analyzed for Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb, Sr, and Zn using an Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer. The aim of this research is to study the extent to which the industrial waste liquids from chemical complex of phosphates pollute stream sediments of Euphrates River. The total metal concentrations in the clay fraction are placed in the following descending order: Sr> Zn> Cr> Ni> Co> Pb> Cu> Cd. Contamination factor pollution load index, geo-accumulation index, the metal contamination index, and potential ecological risk index were calculated to evaluate the environmental impacts of these heavy metals. The study area was found to be highly contaminated with Cd and Ni, moderately contaminated with Co, Pb and Sr, and uncontaminated with Cr, Cu and Zn. 100% of Cd and 93% of Sr were concentrated in the extracted part of the clay fraction, suggesting that Cd is totally derived from the industrial and human activities in the studied area, and Sr which can be attributed to the carbonates of Euphrates Formation as its source which dominate the geology of the area.

“…The vertical and spatial distribution of heavy metals and pollution levels have been evaluated in sediments of many world rivers, such as the Yinma River, China (Guan et al, 2018), the Voghji River, Armenia (Gabrielyan et al, 2018), the Barigui River, Brazil (Machado et al, 2017), the Harazdan River, Armenia (Petrosyan et al, 2019), the Thames River, the UK (Vane et al, 2020), the Yang River, China (Tang et al, 2020), and the Lu Lu River, China (Ye et al, 2020). The spatial distribution of heavy metals in sediments of the Euphrates River in Iraq has been investigated by many authors (Issa & Qanbar, 2016); (Al-Taher et al, 2020); and (Hussain & Al-Jaberi, 2020). The spatial variation of heavy metal concentrations in sediments of the Euphrates River along the studied area between Heet and Ramadi Cities has been studied by (Al-Bassam & Al-Mukhtar, 2008) and (Salah et al, 2012).…”

In recent decades, significant attention has been paid to heavy metal contamination as a dangerous environmental problem because of the toxicity, abundance, persistence and bioaccumulation of these elements (Chen et al., 2016,) (Islam et al., 2017 and ) (Jin et al., 2019). In general, the contamination state of the environment is evaluated by the total concentration of heavy metals (Kanda et al., 2018). The riverine sediments are considered as the main basins for various pollutants following the largely uncontrolled discharge of contamination resulting from human activities and geogenic processes (Liu et al., 2018). The sediment contamination is an important indicator of environmental variation as a result of anthropogenic influence (Gao et al., 2019). River sediments serve as not only a major sink and carrier of heavy metals but also as potential sources of secondary pollution, which can reflect their contamination level (Tang et al., 2014 and ) (Hsu et al., 2016). The heavy metals are released into the aquatic environments from geogenic and anthropogenic sources. The geogenic sources include chemical leaching of bedrock, water drainage basins and runoff from banks (Raj et al., 2017). The anthropogenic sources of heavy metals pollution in aquatic systems include mining activities, industrial wastes disposal and pesticides use, (Chakravarty & Patgiri, 2009). The heavy metals pollution of sediments is an indicator of the aquatic systems water quality (Zhao et al., 2012). The heavy metal distribution in sediments and pollution levels supplies a base for consideration of sediments treatment methods and evaluation of the potential releasing of heavy metals into water and transport downstream (Nawrot et al., 2020). The vertical and spatial distribution of heavy metals and pollution levels have been evaluated in sediments of many world rivers, such as the Yinma River, China (Guan et al., 2018), the Voghji River, Armenia (Gabrielyan et al., 2018), the Barigui River, Brazil (Machado et al., 2017), the Harazdan River, Armenia (Petrosyan et al., 2019), the Thames River, the UK (Vane et al., 2020), the Yang River, China (Tang et al., 2020), and the Lu Lu River, China (Ye et al., 2020). The spatial distribution of heavy metals in sediments of the Euphrates River in Iraq has been investigated by many authors (Issa & Qanbar, 2016); (Al-Taher et al., 2020); and (Hussain & Al-Jaberi, 2020). The spatial variation of heavy metal concentrations in sediments of the Euphrates River along the studied area between Heet and Ramadi Cities has been studied by (Al-Bassam & Al-Mukhtar, 2008) and (Salah et al., 2012). The aim of the study is to investigate how heavy metals are laterally and vertically distributed in sediments of the given study area of Euphrates River between Heet and Fallujah Cities. This study represents the first attempt to investigate the vertical distribution of heavy metals in the Euphrates River sediments.
