摘要: Trace metals are the main sources of toxicity in marine environment by entering food chain and thus affecting ecosystem. The ecosystem off Qatar has been recently subjected to direct release urban industrial runoff from major centres. Such inputs known contain trace which lead increased concentrations coastal zone, some toxic can endanger human health.
