Due to the rapid urbanization and industrialization in Port Said city and surroundingsover the last few decades, metals have been continuously emitted into the urban environment and introduced a serious threat to the human health. Accordingly, Magnetic susceptibility measurements and laboratory soil analyses have been conducted in some selected sites of possible potential risk in Port Said city and surroundings in order to evaluate the current status of heavy metals contamination and todetermine its potential sources. The magnetic susceptibility survey has been carried out using a systematic grid pattern intheindustrial area and the solid waste dump site of Port Said city. The soil samples have been collected from the sites showing high values of magnetic susceptibility. The concentrations of 10 heavy metals Fe, Cd, Mo, Mn, Ni, V, Cu, Pb, Zn and Co were determined in the soil samples.Also, the contamination factor and geochemical accumulation indices were calculated to assess for the heavy metals contamination in the studied sites.The interpretation of the obtained field measurements and the laboratory analyses indicated that. Cd, Zn and Pb providethe highest potential risk, while the other heavy metals are in the safe limits.
