Abstract

Chemical pollution of water is the contamination of water by foreign matter that deteriorates the quality of the water. Pollution of water by heavy metals are dangerous because they tend to cause Bioaccumulation that means an increase in the concentration of a chemical in a biological organism over time, compared to the chemical's concentration in the environment. Chemical pollution of Manzala lake was studied in 4 main localities, Kapoty, Bashtier, Mataryia and Gamil areas which receives high load of sewage, agricultural and industrial wastes from different sources. Heavy metals, such as Zn, Pb, Cd and Hg were estimated in water and fish samples, to reveal high pollution of lake Manzala with such toxic elements, where Zn, reached 800µg/L. Pb,195 µg/L. Cd 45 µg/L and. Hg, 5000 µg/L in water samples.
