Abstract
This study was designed to measure the content of lead and cadmium in coastal sediments in the coastal city of Benghazi as an indicator of the pollution of these areas with these metals. The study included measuring the average concentration of lead and cadmium metals in the study areas, which included each Sidi Khalifa, Galiana, and Garyounis, at different distances. The obtained results showed that the average concentration of lead and cadmium is 1.263 ppm and 0.304 ppm, respectively, in all study areas. The results of the statistical analysis (SPSS-26) show that there are significant differences at a probability level of less than 0.05, indicating that the studied sediments contain lead and cadmium in all study areas, and the lowest concentration of lead and cadmium was present in the sediment samples collected at a distance of 2 m. From the coast of the city of Benghazi.
