The Geoaccumulation Index of Some Heavy Metals in Al-Hawizeh Marsh, Iraq

The Geoaccumulation Index of Some Heavy Metals in Al-Hawizeh Marsh, Iraq

Heavy metals have a great ecological significance due to their toxicity and accumulative behavior. The geoaccumulation index (Igeo) in 10 stations in Al-Hawizeh Marsh, (i.e Al-Adaim (I & II), Um Al-Neaj (I & II), Um-Awarded, North Al-Soudah, South Al-Soudah, Al-Beda, Lissan Ejerdah and Majno...
