  abstract = {{S}elected heavy metals and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons ({PAH}s) were determined in marine sediment from 28 sites {D}jibouti city. {T}he concentrations of trace elements varied from 0 to 288.1 mg/kg with relative abundance of trace metals in sediments was in the order of {Z}n > {C}u > {N}i > {C}r > {C}o > {P}b > {C}d. {Z}n, {C}u and {N}i exceeded consensus based sediment quality guideline values 7, 14, 15 sites respectively. {E}nrichment factor and pollution load index showed relatively low to moderate contamination. {T}he concentrations of total 16 {PAH}s varied widely depending on the sample location and ranged from 2.65 to 3760.11 ng.g(-1), with the mean concentration value of 387.87 ng.g(-1). {C}ompositions and relative abundance of individual {PAH} using molecular diagnostic ratio using congener's m/z 178 and 202 indicated pyrolytic origin and reflecting a petroleum combustion, grass/wood and coal combustion and a petrogenic source. {T}his study represents the first pollution baseline and a reference for future studies in {D}jibouti.},
