Assessment of physicochemical parameters and heavy metal concentration in the effuents of sewage treatment plants in Jazan Region, Saudi Arabia

Heavy metals pollution deserves attention even at the lowest concentration due to their toxic effects on the environment and human health. Here we report that the heavy metals and other hazardous compounds such as Cd, Cu, Mn, Zn are detected from sewage waters of three cities in Jazan Region of King...
