Geochemistry of surface costal water in al-Sabri area, Benghazi city, Libya

الملخص EN

In this study we conducted a geochemistry assessment of surface costal water in Al Sabri area, Benghazi city.

The chemical analysis data showed the plot of Mg/Ca vs.

Na/Ca ratios is closed to carbonate rocks of the area.

The water samples are found to be oversaturated with carbonate and evaporate minerals.

The heavy metals values in the studied costal water are above than typical composition of seawater due to anthropogenic pollution, therefore the heavy metals are classified as seriously affected
