Half quarterly water samples were collected during the period between March 2015 and February 2016 of four different stations from Banias city water that is subject to the effect of sewage and estuaries. The concentrations of nutrients (H3SiO4 -, PO4 -3, NO3 -, NO2 - , NH4 + ) and the concentrations of chlorophyll a were determined to find out how affected by the temporal and spatial variability. The highest concentrations of phosphate and ammonia ions were observed at station St3 (close to the sewage), while the highest concentrations of nitrate ions were registered at the stations St1 and St2 (estuaries). The results showed high values of chlorophyll a in April (due to spring bloom of phytoplankton) and October (autumn bloom). The ions ratio ΣN/P revealed that phosphorus ions are limiting factor of the phytoplankton growth at St1 and St2, and that nitrogen ions are limiting factor of growth at the stations St3 and St4. The ratio Si/ΣN revealed that silicate ions are limiting factor of the growth of diatoms in all the stations.

This research focuses on identifying spatial and temporal variationsof the carbon dioxide system in the surface seawater of Tartouscityduring the period betweenspring and summer 2015.In Addition to the extent influenced by some hydrological propert ies of water (temperature and salinity) and the impact all of this on the pH of marine water values. The results showed low partial pressure of the carbon dioxide in seawaters (PCO2 sea) in the summercompared with spring, which is reflected on the air-sea flux values (FCO2), where CO2 released from surface seawater to the air in summer and incontradiction of that in the spring (0.0632mmol /m²/ day and -0.0715 mmol /m²/day, respectively). In spring, low temperature and salinity of the water (22.707-22.727C and 37.605-37.765‰ respectively), in addition to increased biological activity contributed in increasing the absorption of CO2 from the water.These leading to a decrease PCO2 sea (409.0- 429.5μatm) associated with low concentrations of all of the total inorganic carbon (2229.5- 2242.5μmol/kg) and total alkalinity (2588.873-2590.9μmol/kg). and as a result the surface sea waters become a reservoir of dioxide carbon atmospheric. In the summer, the rise in temperature and salinity of surface seawater (28.85- 29.60Cand38.15-38.60‰, respectively) and reduced biological activity all contributed to the decrease dissolved CO2 values and increase of PCO2 sea(437.5 - 453.5μatm) associated with increasing concentrations of each of the total inorganic carbon (2267.9 - 2296.0μmol/kg) and total alkalinity (2739.6 -2741.2μmol/kg).In this way the surface sea water is source of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere.
In this paper, the seasonal variations of CO2 system and pH values in surface seawater of Banias city are shown during the period in spring 2015 and winter 2016, in addition to determine the impact of hydrological factors.
This research focuses on determining elemental concentrations of copper and lead (Cu &pb) in the muscles and liver Boops boops kind of the estuary of the AL Kabeer Alshemaly River and the fishing port and the promenade using atomic absorption tech nique. The results showed a significant increase in the concentrations of lead during summer 2014 in each of the muscle tissue and the liver of the fish examined (28.28ppm& 4.48ppm, respectively) at the mouth of the estuary of the AL Kabeer Alshemaly River and the fishing port and the promenade (11.19ppm& 3.75ppm, respectively), and this could be due to the different nature of human activities and sources of pollution to this element between the two regions. The results showed a marked seasonal change in the concentration of copper within the liver tissue of fish studied, where the highest concentration in the fishing port and the promenade( 5630.02 ppm) in autumn 2014, the Supreme( 3402.27ppm) value in the AL Kabeer Alshemaly River the estuary of summer. While the results did not show the variable in concentrations of copper in muscle . Theconcentrations were comparable between the two stations somewhat, with the highest concentrations in the summer in Bouth the fishing port and the promenade 1497.70ppm) and(1107.91 ppm) the AL Kabeer Alshemaly River. Results indicate that the accumulation of the studied elements (Cu &pb) in the liver compared to muscle (and the reason is boiled physiological differences in the functions of each of the two members) and to the existence of a good correlation between the concentration in the muscle changes with the typical length of which points to increased accumulation of these elements in these fish with increased growth,Noting the high concentration of the studied elements in females more than those recorded in males.
According to the chemical pollution danger in general and its danger on groundwater wells in agricultural areas particularly the inhabited ones , the scientific study was implemented to determine the concentrations of some ions in water wells withi n the area of Hraesoon; In addition to, monitoring their changing values which indicate the rate of chemical pollution in the study area due to existing activities. The search involves a monthly periodic physical and chemical analyzes in the invested wells in Hraesoon area , Banias city for a whole year. starting from September 2011 till August 2012 by choosing ten invested wells disterbuted in the area. The study includes the changing of temperature ,pH, electrical conductivity, and the group of negative ions (nitrate NO3 -, phosphate PO4 3-, sulphates SO4 2-, chloride Cl-) in addition to positive ions (ammonium NH4 +, Sodium Na +). The values of the studied ions have demonstrated a clear disparity in each month for the samples taken from the same wells, due to the agricultural ,human activities and climatic conditions that prevailed during the sampling dates. The recorded results show cases of chemical contamination in the water wells studied not identical the Syrian standard for drinking water (2011-2012) portend a lot of health and environmental risks, especially that many of those wells are used for drinking purposes.
