Abstract
To assess the contamination levels of selected heavy metals of the Sharm El Madfa and Abu Ramad coastal sediments, Red Sea, Egypt, 22 bottom sediment samples were collected from the two sites. The concentrations of the heavy metals were recorded using inductively coupled plasma emission spectrometer (ICP-ES) technique. The level of pollution was evaluated using both single and integrated pollution indices. Moreover, statistical (correlation) analyses were performed. The geo-accumulation index, contamination factor, contamination degree
