| dc.description | Heavy metals pose significant threats due to their toxicity, persistence, and capability to enter the food. Widespread soil and aquatic contamination are a result of human activities like industrialization, urbanization, and agricultural practices. The marine environment, crucial for sustenance and ecosystem services, faces contamination from various sources, including industrial discharges, waste, and oil exploration. Coastal environments, with their ecological vulnerability, bear the brunt of inorganic and organic pollutants, particularly heavy metals. Sediments play a crucial role in the accumulation and transport of these toxic metals, influencing water quality and posing risks to marine life. The industrial revolution has led to a surge in toxic metal contamination globally, with petrochemical industries and oil refineries releasing wastewater containing heavy metals into coastal areas. | |
| dc.description.abstract | comprehensive study sheds light on the intricate dynamics of heavy metal distribution along the Libyan coastline, particularly in coastal sediments and water samples. The research successfully identifies and assesses variations in metal concentrations across diverse coastal zones, employing statistical methods to pinpoint potential sources and evaluating environmental consequences against established standards set by regulatory bodies like the EPA and WHO. The findings of this study reveal a direct correlation between sampling locations and metal concentrations, with industrial zones demonstrating higher mean concentrations compared to rural and civilian areas. | |
