The accumulation of potential trace elements (PTEs) in water, sediment, and two fish species from El Bieda saline Lake, Wadi El-Natrun, Egypt was assessed to highlight the environmental status and health implications of these elements. Most PTE levels in lake water remained below the permissible lim...
