Subject : Chemical pollution of groundwater by harmful trace elementys in Al-Madinah Al-Monawwarah district and its impacts on the public health and environment 
Document Language : Arabic 
Abstract : Al-Madinah Al-Monawwarah is considered a highly sacred place for all Muslims in general; hence millions of people visit it annually. This causes great pressure on the natrual resources in the area, especially the groundwater. The continuous consumption of this resource for domestic, industrial and irrigation purposes has led to its deterioration both quantitatively and qualitatively. Because the groundwater aquifers in Al-Madinah are locted in and around the inhabited area, it has received some organic and inorganic pollutants due to the increas ein population and their domestic and industrial activities. The researchers noticed the extence of small concentrations of toxic trace elements in groundwater samples from the strudy area, which may cause risk to the public health and the envirtonment. Although, the citizens of Al-Madinash rely greatly on desalinated water, groundwater is still needed for drinking and irrigation. The main purpose of this research is to conduct a thorough study on the hydrochemistry of the groundwater in various aquifers in the Al-Madinah area in order to determine the possibility and extent of chemical lpollution by rare and toxic elements. It also aims to identify the areas and sources of pollutants. Finally, the study aims to suggest the possible solutions to ovecome such problem.
