Abstract

Five sites in the water of Rosetta Branch were selected to investigate heavy metal concentrations. In this study there are great variations in the studied parameters according to the distance from the source of pollution. Heavy metal concentrations are strongly affected by the industrial effluents produced from each of El-Mobidat, El-Malyia and Salt and Soda companies which directly discharge industrial effluents at this area without any treatments. Correlation coefficient and regression analysis were also studied.
