Abstract

Cd(II) ion is one of the highly toxic metal ions on the priority pollutant list, therefor this study is focused on the monitoring of Cd(II) ions in Suez Bay water, Egypt. The level of Cd (II) ions in Suez Bay water are ranging from 0.02 to 0.58 μg/L with insignificant difference in the local mean values; while it was significant (p<0.05) for the seasonal variations. Annual mean of the Cd ions in the present study are higher than the background level for open ocean and coastal water.
