Assessment of sediment quality using different pollution indicators and statistical analyses, Hurghada area, Red Sea coast, Egypt.

Abstract:

:Thirty bottom sediment samples were collected from northern Hurghada coast, Red Sea, Egypt to evaluate the level of anthropogenic pollutants, using enrichment factor (EF), potential ecological risk index (PERI), soil pollution index (SPI), potential contamination index (Cp) and multivariate statistical analysis (correlation analysis, principal component analysis, and hierarchical cluster analysis). Fe, Mn, Zn, Pb, Ni, Cu, Co and Cd were analyzed by Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer. Results indicated that the average values of Pb and Cd were greater than the ones recorded from many other worldwide coastal areas. The studied sediments are extremely severe enrichment with Pb and Cd (EF > 50), severe enrichment with Zn (EF = 10-25), very high risk with Cd (PERI ≥ 320), high risk with Pb (160 ≤ PERI ˂ 320), highly contaminated with Pb (SPI > 3), a severe contamination with Pb (Cp > 3). The accumulation of pollutants is associated with the muddy and fine sediment; especially the studied area is a semi-closed bay, characterized by long time of water retention. Possible sources of metals pollution in the studied area are shipment operations and anticorrosive and antifouling paints, dredging and land filling, municipal wastewater from tourist centers and fishermen cargo boats.
