This study was conducted to estimate the concentrations of some heavy elements (cadmium, lead, nickel, zinc and copper) in the soil, in addition to some physical and chemical properties. Samples were collected from five different sites (residential, commercial, agricultural, adjacent to the river and industrial) in Islah City/Thi-Qar Governorate in order to investigate the possibility of contamination in these areas with thesepollutants.The results of laboratory analyzes using a flame atomic absorption spectrophotometer showed an increase in the concentration of the element lead compared to the other elements, as it reached (54.37) mg /kg at the site (E) close to the brick making plant. While the concentrations of zinc, copper and nickel elements were within the normal rates, the concentration of cadmium exceeded the critical limits, as the highest rate reached (1.06) mg/kg at site (B) within the commercialarea.
