Description 849-857
Total concentration of
Cd, Co, Cu, Ni, Pb and Fe, as well as geo-accumulation indicator and Enrichment
factor were determined in Musa estuary in winter and summer. A GBC flam atomic
absorption spectrometer was applied to measure the heavy metals concentration.
Jafari and Ghazale creeks were the most polluted creeks among the other creeks.
Geoaccumulation

indicator shows that Zangi
creek is moderately polluted by Pb element in winter. Enrichment factor
indicated that Co inJafari, Ahmadi and Zangi creeks have moderately enrichment
in summer and winter while Pb in Zangi creek has significant enrichment in
winter. Relationship amongst the metals demonstrated that Co-Pb, Fe-Cu and
Fe-Pb in summer and Cd-Co, Co-Cu and Ni-Fe have significant correlations.
