This study focused on determining the concentrations of heavy metal ions to assess the environmental pollution levels of five T stations. Based on this, five samples were collected from different environments in Najaf Governorate, and the levels of heavy metal pollution were compared with the permissible values ​​set by the World Health Organization. The research study concerned measurements of the increase and decrease in the concentration of elements and minerals in the environmental samples and studying of other factors like(Metals can be defined in general terms as a general term for a group of minerals. Metals have a density five times greater than that of water. “Heavy metals” refers to any metallic element with a relatively high density that is toxic even at low concentrations. Heavy metals are considered more threatening to humans because they tend to accumulate in the body of living organisms over time. Heavy metals are of great biological importance in trace quantities. Heavy metals are considered toxic ions, and their levels in the environment have increased with the increase in human activities and industries. Pollution with these metals is not a modern problem, but rather began when humans began industrialization. Since then, their effects on humans have increased in terms of physical and mental health. Heavy metals are highly toxic even at very low concentrations. They are non-biodegradable and cause severe toxic effects to living organisms. Examples include lead, cadmium, and zinc. Therefore, one of the results we have reached in this research is to reduce pollution rates by preserving the environment and purifying water by installing filters to sterilize drinking water and personal use to protect health. The danger that emerged from the results of comparing the actual results of the analysis using the atomic absorption technique with the internationally permitted values ​​​​from the World Health Organization for the concentrations of the elements under study. The study here showed that some elements have concentrations much higher than the concentrations permitted by the World Health Organization, especially the Kufa region, which gave a high percentage of lead and cadmium. Excessive levels cause harm to humans, including intestinal colic. In general, most areas have higher levels than others, and this may be due to the use of pesticides, chemical fertilizers, or factory waste.

Keywords: contamination, pollution, heavy metals, environment.
