Abstract
The influence of Abo Zabal fertilizer factory on air quality and soil contamination were investigated. Air pollution index of different sites and soil pollution indices were calculated. The metal contamination in the soils was evaluated by calculating enrichment factor (EF), contamination factor (CF), geo-accumulation index (Igeo) and pollution load index (PLI). Soil quality for total heavy metals in the study area was evaluated. The factory was found to change the reaction of the soil to become acidic and all heavy metals were shown to be high at the factory site and decreased with increasing the distance from the factory. This pollution of the environment caused changes in the vegetation of the study area.
