Abstract
The aim of the present study is to assess the current level of atmospheric heavy metal pollution of
aerosols indifferent cities of North Egypt using the neutron activation analysis and optical emission
inductively coupled plasma techniques. The results revealed that the highest concentrations of
particulate matter PM10 and total suspended particulate matter were close to industrial areas. From
the results of the enrichment factor calculations, the most significant elements of anthropogenic origin
are Ba,Sb,Ce and Zn.
