Assad Abstract: Environmental pollution is caused due to the discharge of substances or energy into air, water, or land that may impart acute (short-term) or chronic (long-term) detriment to the quality of life. This study aims to identify and determine the levels the HMs in the River Nile Sediments. The Sediments where analyzed in the Central Petroleum Laboratories (CPL), Khartoum, Sudan using Inductively Coupled Plasma- Optical Emission Spectrometer ICP-OES 725 E) instrument to determine Zn, Pb, Cu, Co, Ni, Cd, Mo, Cr, Fe, Li, and Hg levels in the above-mentioned matrices in the two previously mentioned localities and compare their concentrations with the national permissible levels (PLs), using the Complete Randomized Design (CRD) with three replications. Sediment samples collected from three different locations in the river Nile from Dongola and Merowe locality and revealed the presence of high levels of Zn (305.5, 177.15 and 126.5 ppm) and Cd (1.400, 1.75 and 1.45 ppm), in Dongola. The values for Merowe were Zn (298.5, 154.35 and 124.2 ppm) and Cd (1.3, 1.385 and 1.045 ppm).Its conclude that the contamination of Heavy metals in the northern state requires more efforts from the authorities.
