| Abstract: | In order to determine and assess the concentrations of trace elements in coral reefs sediments from Red Sea of Yemen,sediment samples were collected,treated and analyzed for cadmium,chromium,cobalt,copper,manganese,nickel,iead,iron,zinc and vanadium by the atomic absorption spectrometric analysis.The result is that cadmium,cobalt and lead concentrations were high and other elements are low or the same as natural background.It is concluded that the high cadmium,cobalt and lead levels in coral reefs sediments... |
