ABSTRACT : An industrial area north of greater Cairo was selected to investigate the impact of intensive industrial activities on soil characteristics and Fe, Mn, Ni and Pb total contents. The studied area was divided into six sectors according to its source of irrigation water and/or probability of pollution. Sixteen soil profiles were dug and soil samples were taken, air dried, fractionated to different grain size fractions, then total heavy metals (Fe, Mn, Ni and Pb) were determined using ICP technique. The enrichment factor for each metal for each soil fraction/soil layer was estimated and discussed. The highest EF ratio in the clay fraction was mainly with Pb which indicates the industrial impact on the soil. In case of sand fraction, Mn was the highest when compared with other studied metals. Concerning silt fraction, a varied accumulation of Fe, Mn and Pb was observed with soil depth and different soil profiles. الملخص : تم إجراء ھѧذا البحѧث فѧى منطقѧة مسѧطرد الصѧناعية شѧمال القѧاھرة الکبѧرى (مسѧاحة ٢٤ کѧم٢) الحديد والمنجنيز والنيکل والرصاص . حيث تم تقسيم أراضى المنطقة إلى ستة قطاعات وفقا لمصدر ً وذلک لدراسة الواقع البيئى للنشاط الصناعى المکثف بالمنطقة على محتوى قطѧاع التربѧة مѧن عناصѧر النشاط الصناعى واحتماالت تلوث التربة . تم حفر ١٦ قطاع تربѧة إلѧى عمѧق ١٠٠-٦٠ سѧم وقسѧمت إلى طبقات من صفر -١٥ سم ، ٦٠-٤٥ ، ٤٥-٣٠ ، ٣٠-١٥ سم .أخذت عينات تربة ممثلѧة مѧن کѧل طبقة / قطاع وتѧم فصѧل مکونѧات التربѧة لکѧل عينѧه (طѧين - سѧلت - رمѧل) حيѧث تѧم تقѧدير المحتѧوى الکلى من العناصر تحت الدراسة لکل مکون على حده وکذلک للتربة ککل باستخدام تقنية ICP . حيѧث أمکѧѧن حسѧѧاب معامѧѧل اإلثѧѧراء لکѧѧل عنصѧѧر فѧѧى کѧѧل مکѧѧون مѧѧن حبيبѧѧات التربѧѧة / لکѧѧل طبقѧѧة لمختلѧѧف القطاعات واألعماق . أوضحت النتائج أن أعلى قيمة لمعامل اإلثراء کانت فى حالة الرصاص فى حبيبات الطين ممѧا يظھر أثر التلوث الصناعى على التربة خاصة الطبقة السطحية . أما فى حالѧة عنصѧر المنجنيѧز فکѧان تجمعه فى صورة مقعدات مشابه ألحجام الرمل . أمѧا فѧى حالѧة محتѧوى حبيبѧات السѧلت مѧن العناصѧر تحت الدراسة فکانت قيم معامل اإلثراء متباينة مع العمق واختالف قطاع التربѧة (أى مصѧدر التلѧوث) | ||||
