| Abstract | ||
| In this study to determine the environmental pollution level of heavy metals (lead, cadmium, zinc and copper) have been used (6) dirt samples for (6) different sites of the ancient city of Ur, which is located in Tel Almkir within 15 km northwest of the city of Nasiriyah (T hi- qar Governorate). Were created hydrogen function relationship and the content of organic material and defined the extent of its impact on raising pollution ratios of these elements results of the study showed that the rates of concentrations of heavy metals (lead, cadmium, zinc and copper) in the samples collected were respectively [(140.66) (10.66), (45.16) and (16.66)] unit part per million, we note varying proportions of the concentrations between the different sites is of three regions recorded the highest concentration of heavy elements [(201.33), (8:33), (55.33), (23.66)] unit part per million and three regions recorded lower concentrations of [(80), (13), (35) and (9.66)] unit part per million and it explains that the pollution caused by human activity, in addition to the fact that the archaeological area is located in a remote area suffers from a lack of vegetation. | ||
