Abstract
This study aims to assess some heavy metals in the soils and water of Qena governorate. To achieve this objective, 25 water and 25 soil samples were collected from different locations a Qena governorate. The collected samples were analyzed for their trace element contents include Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu, Ni, Pb, Co, and Cd by Inductively Coupled Plasma (I C P). The result indicated that the trace element contents were found much lesser in irrigation canals water as compared to drainage canals which mixed with untreated industrial and domestic sewage. Cu, Pb, Fe, Ni and Cd were found in normal concentration in irrigation canals. Metal concentrations in water were found in most locations as following order: Fe > Zn > Pb > Mn > Ni >Cu > Cd> Co; whereas they follow the order of Fe > Mn > Zn > Cu > Co> Pb > Ni >Cd in surface soil samples . All the metals attained their maximum values at Al-Tawaby drainage canal (Abu-Mnaa Bahary) as waste industrial for Qus paper factory, This may be attributed to the huge amounts of raw sewage, agricultural and industrial wastewater discharged into canal water. Industrialization have contributed to the large scale of pollution currently observed in Qus city notably. However the content of DTPA – extractable heavy metals in soils were within the permissible limits.
