Abstract

Spatial distribution of cadmium (Cd), nickel (Ni) and lead (Pb) has been studied in Sinnors District, Fayoum, Egypt using grid system- log distance of two km. data showed that the overall mean of each of Cd and Pb concentrations have been higher within the higher 30 cm of soils than the ones of the (30 – 60 cm) layer indicating Cd and Pb pollution of soil surface probably through the high ranges of applied chemical fertilizers especially superphosphate and irrigation the use of combined Nile with drainage water inside the studied. The suggest concentrations of general Ni have been extra inside the subsurface than the higher soil layer indicating Ni normal soil contamination likely from parent material. The maps generated through GIS are beneficial for decision makers for land use planning, conservation and evaluating the level of environmental infection with hazardous metals. The authors emphasize the actual absence of Egypt to develop detailed standards for the assessment of soil pollution with heavy metals primarily based on the nature and properties of the Egyptian soils.
