Abstract
The present paper discriminates between nearshore and farshore sabkha sediments at Daryana Coast,NE Libya, using geochemical viewpoints. The nearshore sediments are mostly sand with low amounts ofmud (Al). High contents of heavy metals found in these sediments can be due to their incorporation incarbonate phases. The farshore sediments are mostly sandy mud with higher contents of Al and lowercontents of heavy metals, except higher contents of Pb. The heavy metals are mainly of anthropogenicorigin (EF > 1.5). Generally, Igeo values indicate that the study area is unpolluted with most heavymetals (except with As and Hg).
