A Characterization and assessment study was conducted for trace metals pollution in surface sediments at six sites including harbors, bays and river input along Lebanese coast (LCZ). A particular attention was given to Tripoli Port in order to identify the main sources of trace metals pollution inside this harbor. Total metals concentrations were compared with those reported for the shale. The results revealed that trace metals (Cd, Pb, Zn, and Cr) contamination was significantly localized at Beirut Port, which is classified as the most highly polluted site. At Tripoli Port site, metals contamination was classified as moderate; it is affected by shipping, ship maintenance activities and sewage outfall. According to the SQGs guideline, the biological adverse effect of Cd, Pb and Zn were expected to occur frequently at Beirut Port. The results obtained would be helpful in developing more effective harbor management strategies to control and monitor the metal discharges.
在黎巴嫩沿海地区（LCZ）的六个地点（包括港口、海湾和河流入口）进行了痕量金属污染的特征和评估研究。特别关注的是的黎波里港，以确定该港口内痕量金属污染的主要来源。将总金属浓度与页岩中报告的浓度进行了比较。结果表明，在贝鲁特港，痕量金属（Cd、Pb、Zn 和 Cr）污染非常严重，被归类为污染最严重的地点。在的黎波里港，金属污染被归类为中度；它受到航运、船舶维修活动和污水排放的影响。根据 SQGs 指南，Cd、Pb 和 Zn 的生物不良影响预计会在贝鲁特港频繁发生。这些结果将有助于制定更有效的港口管理策略，以控制和监测金属排放。
