“…The bioaccumulation process shows absorption, accumulation, and utilization of contaminants from sediments following a root system and surface area (Chai et al 2020, Ma et al 2019). This activity reduces toxic effects using dilution and translocation to death organs (Alzahrani et al 2018, Xie et al 2020) and organic absorption (Nour et al 2019, R. Xiao et al 2015. However, translocation refers to moving contaminants between the cell and the vascular tissue to be distributed in the stem, leaves, and other organs.…”

“….67-40.66 ppm (sediment) -0.0455-0.0645 ppm (water). Based on the pollution category (UU no 82, 2001), the Segara Anakan Lagon (SAL) was contaminated by Hg, Cd, and Zn Nour et al (2019). records the data of heavy metal accumulation on the Red Sea coast and Egypt which Zn accumulation between 14.94-134.22 ug/g, Cd 0.12-1.25 ug/g, and Pb 3.17-40.25 ug/g.…”

“…Heavy metals (HMs) are an environmental threat and are of grave concern worldwide [1]. Rapid industrialization and urbanization have caused heavy metals to contaminate the atmosphere and it is a problem for human health [2][3][4]. HMs poses a major environmental threat to living organisms and habitats due to their non-biodegradability, bioaccumulation, environmental stability, persistence and biotoxicity characteristics [5][6][7].…”

“…geological weathering, atmospheric precipitation, wave erosion, wind and bioturbation) and anthropogenic activities (e.g. rapid industrialization, urbanization, agricultural runoff and transport) play a key role in the spread of HMs to the marine habitats of aquatic ecosystems such as rivers and estuaries [2,4,14]. In addition, human activities that can produce industrial pollution, the deposition of urban waste and the offensive use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides result in the accumulation and sinking of HMs in aquatic habitat surface sediments [15][16][17].…”

“…An estimated 6.24% or 137,000 km 2 of European agricultural lands are destroyed by heavy metals and need urgent remediation (Tóth et al, 2016). A number of previous studies have shown that the Ni 2+ contamination of Egyptian soils due to anthropogenic and natural sources endangers the agroecosystem (El-Gammal, Ali & Samra, 2014;Hashim et al, 2017;Nour et al, 2019).…”
