Abstract

The sediments of Saf-Saf River (North eastern of Algeria), were studied in order to evaluate their degree of contamination by Trace Metal Elements. Six heavy trace metals (Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn and Ni) were researched at the surface sediments of nine study stations. Since these different metallic elements appear as tracers of anthropogenic pollution; various evaluation indices of metallic contamination were studied (Igeo, FC, DC, IPS and PEC). The results of these indices are consistent and reveal a polymetallic sediment contamination by several heavy metals essentially by Fe, Mn and Cd, with an abundance of Fe and Mn. Sediment pollution index, indicates that sediments at all stations are hazardous (IPS ˃ 20). The environmental quality of Saf-Saf River sediments, were realized by comparing the metal contents with the values of the TEC and the PEC has showed that the metals Cd, Cu and Mn present a great danger of toxicity.
